Building infrastructure analysis using total station and unmanned aerial vehicle drone for surveying and modelling

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) drones and Total Stations are two of some methods and tools used to conduct surveys on areas or building buildings. A UAV is a flying machine that functions with remote control by the pilot or can control itself, uses aerodynamic laws to lift itself, can reusable and can carry certain payloads. A total station is a device that is a combination of electronic theodolite, Electronic Distance Meter, and software that serves as a data collector and processor. The implementation of land surveying is one of the stages of the implementation of infrastructure development. Land survey itself is a way or method to evaluate land to get data directly from the field. Survey activities consist of field activities, making data analysis, interpretation of objectives and making survey reports. In this modern period, the technology to conduct land / land surveys often develops, namely with the total station and the use of UAV drone technology. The study aims to analyse and compare the capabilities of UAV Drones and Total Stations.
