dronederived
Dronederived is a term used to describe information, insights, and products produced from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly called drones. The concept encompasses the capture of high-resolution imagery and sensor data by drone platforms, and the subsequent generation of derivative outputs such as maps, 3D models, orthophotos, and analytical datasets. The term is used across industries to distinguish drone-origin data from data collected by other means.
Common data types include visual imagery, multispectral and thermal imagery, LiDAR point clouds, and video. Processing
Applications span agriculture (crop health assessment), construction and surveying (site mapping and progress monitoring), utilities and
Advantages include high spatial resolution, rapid deployment, repeatability, and access to difficult terrain. Limitations involve weather
