Subject: [AFMUG] documenting underground marks 









<blockquote>




We strive to have video and photo evidence of marks before we start digging. 
Sometimes we fail but most of the time when we hit something there is no paint 
or flags. 
I am wondering if a drone video would be better than our handheld 
phone/camcorder footage? I have never used a drone personally but have seen 
some of the images. It sure would be quick and easy to fly a route. Not sure 
the altitude you would want to use. Not sure if it would see more than the 
camcorder on the ground. 

I am thinking that the aerial view would see the paint better but the ground 
view would see the flags. 
Be good for engineering I would think. Hopefully much better resolution than 
Google earth. I wonder if you can correct the perspective distortion?
