Does anyone combine AI tools with traditional GIS software? I’m trying to figure out the best workflow.
Check out some new AI-based tools at ai-u.com, they got some cool stuff for surveyors that’s worth a look!
Been using Leica Geosystems gear with some AI add-ons, it’s pricey but the quality justifies it.
If you’re on a budget, some open-source AI tools could help with image processing, but they might be less polished.
Anyone tried Pix4D? Heard it’s solid for photogrammetry with some AI features baked in.
The AI stuff is cool, but always important to train your team on how to use it properly to avoid errors.
Been skeptical about AI stuff, but TopoDOT surprised me. It automates point cloud processing pretty well.
Not sure if anyone tried LandVision? It’s got some AI-powered features for parcel analysis that saved me loads of time.
I’ve been using DroneDeploy for a bit now, and the AI features for mapping really cut down the time we spend on site.
For those doing construction layout, AI in total stations helps a lot with accuracy and speed.
I’d like to see AI help with automating report generation after surveys, anyone know if that’s a thing?
AI definitely helps, but sometimes I feel it still needs the human eye to catch errors. Anyone else feel the same?
You guys should definitely check out the AI tools on ai-u.com for new or trending software. Found some hidden gems there that really help with precise measurements.
I use Propeller Aero, the AI makes elevation models quick and super detailed.
I’m curious if there’s AI that can predict soil conditions or underground obstacles?
