UAS Software
Overview of copter controlling Apps that are available for iOS and Adroid:
- GO DJI (default control and flying software for DJI copter systems, no automatic waypoint mapping!)
- Altizure (cloud service) with photogr.
- Pix4Dmapper Mesh (DJI) (yearly rental 445€
- Drone Deploy (commerical mapping with NDVI and volume calc.) photogram. subscription cloud comp.)
- Datamapper (commerical mapping with NDVI and volume calc.) photogram. subscription cloud comp.)
- Maps Made Easy (iOS only?) subscription based for online processing functionality
- Drone Director, Map Pilot for DJI, Litchi for DJI and others.
Overview of useful processing software for multicopter images:
Photogrammetry Software (UAS specific solutions)
- Agisoft Metashape : commerical UAV photogrammetry package – easy to use but partly black box algorithms
- Pix4D Mapper
- Open Drone Map: Open Source, free version (CLI) available
- ENVI One Button
- MicMac (Open Source): opensource photogrammetry software suite – CLI based, not fully documented functionality.
- DJI Terra: easy to use but so far a black box system
- 3DFlow https://www.3dflow.net
- Geomatica Orthoengine with UAV Workflow: algorithm basis documented
Multispectral Data Analysis
- PCI Geomatica: well known Remote Sensing data processing and analysis package with focus on Orthoengine package
- PCI Feature Extract
- ENVI/IDL
- ERDAS Imagine / Imagine Photogrammetry
- GRASS/R/QGIS (Open Source GIS with various extensions using GRASS within R)
- Trimble eCognition (Object Based Image Analysis – OBIA)
