Abstract

The use of drone survey and mapping has gained significant attention in recent years, particularly in the domain of infrastructure management. The SVAMITVA Scheme, which uses drone technology to survey and map rural inhabited lands, facilitating the issuance of legal ownership cards and promoting rural development. This paper demonstrates a detailed comparison between orthomosaic images generated using Pix4D against satellite map or image. The drone-based survey of Penumuru village offers an exceptionally detailed representation, facilitating detailed analysis and supporting diverse applications that demand accurate and comprehensive visual data. It highlights the transformative potential of drone-based survey and mapping, offering cost effective, accurate, and timely data for decision-making and enabling the development of sustainable and efficient infrastructure.
