Drone Technology For Geotagging

Drone technology has an enormous effect on the field of engineering, and with the demands of the 21st-century world, people discover the multiple advantages of shooting from the sky. The study aimed to geotag the Mindanao State University- General Santos City quadrangle with the use of drone technology. The researcher gathered data using a project drone, cellphone, pocket wifi, and setter in plotting the points. To determine the significant difference between drone and traditional geotagging the researcher compared the weighted mean of the coordinates from the two modes of geotagging. The study found that the overall average difference between drones from traditional geotagging is 0.000014741662081 for the longitude and 0.00009081196411 O for the latitude. Results revealed that there is a negligible difference between all the coordinates obtained from the two methods. This indicates that drone geotagging can be a good substitute for the traditional method since it poses more advantages and lesser inconvenience, on the other hand, the tracks obtained were marked accurately making the use of drones more efficient than the traditional way of geotagging. The study suggested that for further studies and improvement of Drone technology for geotagging in MSU-GSC Quadrangle, it is recommended to use a drone with altitude lock and path control feature for more accurate results. It is also recommended to use a higher version of GPS device to acquire more accurate data.
