Orthomosaics, point clouds, and 3D models are key outputs for drone data users in mapping and surveying. Orthomosaics provide accurate, bird's-eye 2D imagery with corrected geometry, while point clouds capture dense surface data for elevation. 3D models offer volumetric detail for terrain and structures. Understanding these products helps professionals choose the right data type for analysis of landscapes, construction sites, or infrastructure.
