September 26, 2017 “DJI GS Pro” – Ground Station Testing Some tests using the DJI GS Pro (Ground Station) software for automatic flight programming with the Phantom 4 Pro. New flight campaign at the Kuckenburg spot (Sachsen-Anhalt) finished with two different flight altitudes using DJI GS Pro – mapping the open archaeological excavation site of medieval church now in September 2017. This worked flawless – the only problem: you kind... Categories Archaeology/Quadrocopter/Software/Workflow
April 1, 2017 Speeding up Agisoft Photoscan For some of the copter data processing folks Agisoft Photoscan turns out to be the most important tool to calculate point clouds, orthoimages and nadir data mosaics. Problem: very long processing times with dense point cloud calculations with high or ultra-high settings (full resolution image matching with SfM (Structure from Motion) algorithms). Some nice net finds show how multicore processing... Categories Agisoft/Point Clouds/Software/Workflow
March 29, 2017 MicroSD cards and standards … There is a lot of confusion about the speed of MicroSD cards these days and various standards exist. Overall its easy to buy yourself into the wrong card type and for copter data acquisitions with the P4Pro the card speed is essential. So here we go: UHS-I and UHS-II (Ultra High Speed Classes): UHS-II is the newest standard but is... Categories News/Workflow
March 27, 2017 Using DroneDeploy and the POI mode for automatic point cloud mapping Using DroneDeploy and the POI mode of DJI. Have been doing some leaf-off flights now in March on one of my favorite sites for complex tree crown point cloud mapping. To add to the leaf-on data from last autumn. Fig.: Leaf-Off point cloud with combined height color coding and reflectance color coding. This time I also checked the full automatic flight... Categories Point Clouds/Software/Workflow
