FSU Jena wins the SPSG Park3D Project!

The FSU Jenacopter Labs team won the Park3D project proposal with SPSG in Potsdam. In 2025 and 2026 we will in detail analyze the vitality of the vegetation in the historical park regions Sanssouci and Babelsberg with various sensors: DJIs photogrammetric camera system P1 and the Lidar sensor L2 as well as with the MicaSense Multispectral camera system for calibrated...

Reflectance Calibration with Phantom 4M Multispectral data (Updated 14-05-2021)

Last Update: 14.5.2021 There was some confusion in the past on how to process the Phantom 4M Multispectral data to “reflectance” level. Here a short summary for Agisoft Metashape 1.7.2 with a 50% reflectance panel from Micasense (update: now its from SphereOptics). In general: 1. the P4M sun illu. sensor works for normalizing the within flight campaign variations while 2....

Die EU Drohnenverordnung

Die neue EU Drohnenverordnung ist in Kraft getreten. Sie gilt im Prinzip bereits seit 1.1.2021. Was hat sich geändert? Einiges! Nach der neuen Verordnung sind alle derzeit im Betrieb befindlichen Drohnen keine zertifizierten Drohnen. Hier hinkt die Industrie der Verordnung hinterher. Die Verordnung differenziert in der offenen Kategorie “OPEN” nach dem Grad der Gefährdung, der von einer Drohne ausgehen könnte...

UPDATE 12.12.2020: Beech Tree Damage Analysis in the Historical Parks – South-West of Berlin

UPDATE 12.12.2020: First classification within the SPSG park regions of four different damage categories was done in December 2020 using the TensorFlow CNN implementation. The first test area is the landscape park area “Glienicke” in the south-west of Berlin. The area shows a severe degradation of beech trees on some locations and is as of now not open for the...

UAV Flights in May 2020 over Hainich NP

The first UAV flights of the vegetation period took place this year at the 28th of May. We covered the test areas East of Berka v.d.H. (Burgberg & Eichenberg) and parts of the Zimmerberg area. We also did flights over the region of Hegeberg in the North-East of the national park. Overall we did 14 flights (6 with the P4R...

Phantom 4 Multispectral (RTK)

DJI did it again – the leading manufacturer of compact “of the shelve” drone solutions modified the Phantom 4 RTK and added a fully integrated multispectral camera. Those that are working with these (micro)multispectral camera systems on small UAV platforms couldnt really believe this news. DJI modified the Phantom 4 RTK (that turned out to be a game changer in...

MDR Doku with EO contribution

A nice MDR Wissen Doku has been published with contributions from our Hainich National Park beech declining mapping project. We explain some of the concepts how we use copter technology to analyze Sentinel-2 satellite data of the forest decline in the Hainich forest region. https://www.mdr.de/video/mdr-videos/d/video-338706.html

The Hainich Flight Campaign

At the end of August 2018 a consortium was initiated by Dr. C. Thiel (DLR) to start a flight campaign within the Hainich national parc area in Thuringia (DLR Jena: Dr. C. Thiel, FSU Jena: Dr. S. Hese, University Göttingen (LS für Bioklimatologie, Prof. Dr. A. Knohl / Dipl.-Ing F. Tiedemann), national parc Hainich: Manfred Grossmann & Andreas Henkel). The region is...

Erste urbane Copter Befliegung über Jena

In Kooperation mit der Abteilung Geoinformation (Leitung Dr. Markus Meinhardt) der Stadtverwaltung Jena ( Dezernat III – Stadtentwicklung & Umwelt, Fachdienst Stadtumbau & Infrastruktur) wurde erstmalig durch den Lehrstuhl für Fernerkundung mit einem Quadrocopter eine städtische Flächenbefliegung durchgeführt. Ziel ist hier die Ableitung georeferenzierter Ortho-Bildmosaike (sogenannte “True Ortho Bilder”), ein Gebäudehöhenmodel und ein texturiertes 3D Fassadenmodel. Im Rahmen der Befliegung wurden...
