Aerial data obtained on construction sites via UAS for digital elevation maps, point clouds and other uses for efficiency and safety is increasingly being leveraged for engineering analysis and predictive analytics. This session will examine the best approaches from capturing information and new tools to best practices for integrating, processing and disseminating the information, including deliverables and visualization. Scaling a UAV program and anticipating future developments will also be addressed.
