Case Study No. 3: Mapping – Small-scale Mapping with Consumer Drones in Nepal

The aims of the project were to provide drone training to locals around Kathmandu and to demonstrate the potential use of drone imagery in disaster response. To this end, relatively affordable consumer drones, together with mapping software and a flight-planning app, were used to achieve similar results to those a professional mapping drone would produce, demonostrating that for very small areas, affordable consumer drones may present an alternative to dedicated mapping drones.
