The book provides a comprehensive guide on the use of the Mavic 3 Enterprise drone for design-grade survey mapping. It outlines a detailed workflow, starting with client request handling and file management, followed by meticulous mission planning, including setting flight parameters. The process involves setting Ground Control Points (GCPs) and Photoidentifiable Points (PIDs) targets, and data collection in JPG format. The workflow advances with processing the collected data into orthomosaics and Digital Surface Models (DSMs) using Metashape Pro software. Subsequently, these orthomosaics and DSMs are imported into Global Mapper, where breaklines are generated along critical grade breaks and exported. The final stages include creating a 3D surface in Civil 3D using these breaklines and developing 2D planimetrics.

This resource is essential for understanding how to effectively plan drone missions to yield accurate rectified orthomosaics, 3D surfaces, and 2D planimetrics. It emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate flight parameters like altitude above ground level, neatness, and speed. The book also covers essential elements like setting up ground control points, configuring RTK GPS settings, and processing data for survey mapping purposes.
