When using UAS for remote data collection, there are several different approaches one can take depending on the desired data outcomes and the specific UAS platform and sensor available. UAS are versatile in their ability to be used for various data collection techniques, but the types of data one can collect are highly dependent on the specific type of UAS platform and sensors being used. Therefore, UAS are increasingly being designed and manufactured for specific data collection applications, such as vegetation monitoring in rural areas and 3D modeling of building construction in urban areas. Due to the diversity of scenarios where one can incorporate the use of UAS, professionals should pay close attention to what methods they utilize to collect data because there is no one‐size‐fits‐all approach. This does not mean, however, that there are no best practices associated with UAS data collection. In recent years, UAS and remote sensing researchers have identified effective methodologies and best practices associated with UAS data collection (Hodgson and Koh, 2016; Pepe et al., 2018; Wu and An, 2019; Stecz and Gromada, 2020). In addition to familiarizing oneself with the latest best practices for a specific application, individuals who are interested in using a UAS for data collection should pay attention on the three stages: mission planning, flight operations, and data processing.
