Aerial Field Notes

When surveyors, engineers, and construction professionals need accurate 3D site models, they face a fundamental choice: process drone data on a local desktop computer or use a cloud-based platform. Both approaches can produce detailed 3D outputs, but they differ sharply in speed, cost, collaboration, and hardware requirements. Understanding these differences helps you pick the workflow that fits your project size, team structure, and turnaround needs. What a 3D site model w
