Hi,
I'm working in the field of ecovillage design and would like some advice on drone mapping. I often do surveying with tape measures and a dumpy level but a project I'm working on at the moment has an old quarry that I'd like to map and it's difficult to get in there. It's not so big, about 100m (300-ish ft) across and maybe 20m (60-ish ft) deep. My only concern is relative accuracy for width, depth and slope angle. With these measurements I can design the required earthworks. My question is: 'do I need RTK for GCP, or will a drone alone give me enough accuracy -- say, within a foot or two.'
Any advice will be much appreciated.
Sam
