Amazon may soon send drones into the sky to gather data with the help of drone surveillance technology. Earlier this month, the retailer received a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a new data-gathering system.

With this latest patent, Amazon expands its information-collecting reach. While the company rose to prominence selling information (also known as book sales), the Seattle-based mega retailer has gone deep into data collection with its always-listening virtual assistant, home-monitoring company, and a facial recognition tool it offers to law enforcement.

In the first line of Amazon’s patent, the filing would allow an “unmanned aerial vehicle” to gather data about the places it flies over. The patent notes that Amazon’s drone would obtain data about objects within and around a specified “geo-fence,” or a virtual boundary. An option to surveil only authorized areas would offer the ability to keep other areas private.

Amazon filed the patent in 2015, two yea..

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV or drone) surveying and mapping has become a more efficient data collection process for some applications compared to traditional ground-based methods. Faster turnaround times and significant cost savings are the primary reasons why an increasing number of technical professionals are utilizing UAV surveying.

The Crafton Tull UAV team consists of six FAA-certified remote pilots and one licensed private pilot, two of whom are licensed Professional Surveyors. The team uses a fixed-wing UAV along with quadcopter drones and the latest software to deliver efficient, high-quality surveying and mapping data.

We are among only a handful of select firms in the region to own a UAV LiDAR sensor equipped with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), allowing us to have direct, geo-referenced LiDAR data without the need for ground control points. This particular technology sets us apart by eliminating the need to utilize less accurate photogrammetry point cloud extraction. ..
