Good Afternoon All,

I found this article in the January issue of 'Forestry Source' interesting. It is about the use of drones to capture imagery and LiDAR and illustrates how quickly the landscape is changing in this area of geospatial data acquisition.

It is a challenge for those of us trying to plan for data acquisition.

I expect that in the next decade we will see rapid change in technology and pricing.
