What are the minimum altitudes allowed for a drone to capture accurate and detailed photogrammetry data?
The answer to this question depends on several factors, including the type of drone, the quality of its sensors, and the complexity of the terrain. However, a general rule of thumb is that a drone can typically map an area with a minimum of 10 square meters (107 square feet) in a single pass.
