Got an idea for next month's banner?
Do you compare to previous records to spot changes in order to find the slips?
I think it's more reactionary. Come across a slip along the road and (probabaly) as part of the Maintenance NOC it requires surveying so pickup and fly it, lidar use is only really for checking the drone / uav has good data. To answer your question we just use the term UAV but they're drones, DJI Phantoms or Mavics or some other cool ones like the skydio
Things have come on a long way from the early 2000s. Back then my old man was doing the assessments around the Tararua District for all the land that had slipped and it was a case of flying around in a small plane for ages making guesstimates of how much dirt had moved :)
editing to add he was the passenger, seeing the state of some of his fence posts and fences i'm glad he wasn't the pilot in the plane given the damage he can do in a tractor.
Haha awesome !!!3
Awesome, thanks for explaining!
