Term:

Dron

Context:

Geodesy and topography

Definition:

Unmanned aerial vehicle equipped for conducting topographic and cartographic surveys of large areas of terrain

What´s it for?:

They can be used to create three-dimensional models of the terrain, generate elevation maps, identify terrain features, and calculate volumes

Example:

Topographic survey

Levantamiento Topografico

Term:

Flight planning

Context:

Geodesy and topography

Definition:

flight planning is the process of designing and preparing a detailed plan for a flight before its execution

What´s it for?:

The area to be covered is determined and the objectives of the survey are established. Points of interest, boundaries of the mapping area, and the appropriate flight altitude to achieve the required resolution are defined

Example:

Term:

drone configuration

Context:

Geodesy and topography

Definition:

It is ensured that the drone is in good condition, the battery is checked to be charged, and the necessary sensors are installed

What´s it for?:

Con With a high-resolution camera and a GPS receiver, we can maneuver the drone

Example:

Term:

Field preparation

Context:

Geodesy and topography

Definition:

A safe takeoff location is chosen and a visual inspection of the flight area is conducted to identify possible obstacles

What´s it for?:

It serves to have control points and safety points when raising the drone

Example:

Term:

Software configuration

Context:

Geodesy and topography

Definition:

The software allows to plan and design the drone flight mission efficiently. This includes the definition of the flight area, the flight altitude, the flight trajectory

What´s it for?:

Survey drone software generally includes data processing capabilities to generate final products such as orthophotos, digital terrain models (DTMs) and digital surface models (DSMs).

Example:

Term:

Automated takeoff and flight

Context:

Geodesy and topography

Definition:

 points are used for greater accuracy and georeferencing of the data generated by the drone.

What´s it for?:

The drone takes off and follows a predetermined and programmed flight path.

Example:

Term:

Data processing

Context:

Geodesy and topography

Definition:

data processing capabilities to generate final products.

What´s it for?:

is used to obtain detailed and accurate information about the terrain and its environment.

Example:

Cartography and mapping

Term:

Cotas

Context:

Geodesy and topography

Definition:

vertical distance from a reference plane

What´s it for?:

The function of this indicator is to indicate the height of a point above sea level or above another level plane.

Example:

Term:

Geoid

Context:

Geodesy and topography

Definition:

Surface located at sea, thats mean Surface the closest thing to shape of the earth

What´s it for?:

To ubicated and calculated the real position of a point

Example:

Difference beetwen geoid and ellipsoid we can get height above sea level
