Nikhil and Joshua drove out to Lakewood, Ohio on November 10th, 2021 to collect data along a portion of Lake Erie’s coastline known as the Gold Coast. This mission is part of a collaborative effort with KS Associates, an Ohio-based civil engineering firm, to explore the application of UAV mapping in civil engineering projects. The goal of this mission was to survey a 20 meter bluff which is being eroded by the wave action of the lake and threatening several high-rise apartments. To keep line-of-sight contact with our Matrice 300, Nikhil and Joshua launched from the top of the building. The view was stunning!
