St. Augustine To Be Mapped Using UAS

First off all, I was a little deceived. I thought this was about St. Aug. Fl. but it is about a church cemetery in the U.K.. So be it. It caught my interest that the UAS mapping would be a nice way to survey a historic district such as St. Aug. Fl. down to the minutiae.

UAS surveys are fast growing and new applications such as historic district or site surveys, forensic investigations, cemetery surveys etc. will be common soon.
So this U.K. firm found a nice niche by using their Survey and GIS departments to map old cemeteries in the U.K. Good for them, there must be endless old cemeteries in the U.K. to map. It sounds like a lucrative niche.
But this has already been done except for the UAS.

The nicest one here in Louisiana that I have seen was done in 2001 by a group out of University of Pennsylvania. They used old maps.and aerial images.
They had a lot of free student help to assist. I imagine the church in the UK will have a supply of parishioners to assist with the documentation.
I surveyed a historic city cemetery and was supplied a few volunteer to do some work. It was helpful vein thou their work had to be checked carefully.

Here is the link to St. Louis No. 1 in New Orleans. It is a well knowing tour st attraction. It has the grave of Marie Laveau and was the location of the LSD trip scene in Easy Rider in 1967. Easy Rider was the last commercial film filmed there. Other local cemeteries are used for locations.

and updating the database. I think it was last flown back in '67.
