DRONE PHOTOGRAMMETRY FOR REAL PROJECTS
MAPPING, SURVEYING, INSPECTION, AND 3D DATA WORKFLOWS
By Evan J. Kessler (Independently published)
Turn your drone into a precision measurement tool; not just a flying camera.
This guide shows you how real projects are planned, captured, processed, and validated from start to finish. The visual workflow in your book, including the capture → process → validate flow, sets the foundation for reliable results.
You follow a complete, field-tested system used across mapping, surveying, inspection, and 3D modeling. Instead of theory, you learn how decisions in the field affect accuracy, alignment, and final deliverables.
You move step by step through:
Flight planning that prevents weak dataCamera setup for sharp, consistent imageryGround control and RTK or PPK positioningImage alignment, dense cloud generation, and model buildingQuality checks that confirm your results are usable
Every stage connects directly to real outcomes; no guesswork.
You gain practical control over your projects and avoid common failures that waste time and require reflights.
Inside the book, you will learn how to:
Capture data that aligns cleanly on the first attemptIdentify weak overlap zones before processingUse checkpoints to confirm real accuracyDetect errors early using sparse and dense cloud inspectionDeliver orthomosaics, point clouds, and volume reports with confidence
You also see how workflows change based on project type:
Stockpile measurementConstruction trackingRoof and facade inspectionRoad and corridor mappingIndustrial asset capture
If you want consistent, repeatable results from your drone missions, this book gives you a clear path from first flight to final deliverable.

From the Publisher
Turn Drone Flights Into Reliable Project Deliverables
Learn how to capture stronger datasets, process cleaner models, validate accuracy, and deliver usable mapping, surveying, inspection, and 3D outputs with confidence. Built around real field workflows instead of theory alone.
Built for Real Job Sites and Practical Field Conditions
Understand how overlap, flight planning, RTK/PPK positioning, image quality, and ground control affect the final map, model, volume report, or inspection result before problems appear in processing.
Follow the Same Workflow Used in Real Drone Projects
Move step by step from mission setup to final deliverables using workflows built around Agisoft Metashape and Pix4D Mapper. The book covers orthomosaics, point clouds, DSM/DTM generation, 3D models, and validation checks — with troubleshooting guidance and practical examples built in so every output is client-ready before you close the project.
