We decided to test several drones and cameras of the popular DJI manufacturer in the middle and lower price segments for the accuracy of the data obtained for large-scale mapping in difficult terrain. The survey was […]
Unmanned aerial vehicles are becoming more and more available together with drone acquired imagery/data, this contributes a lot to the development of automated photogrammetric processing. Products like Pix4Dmapper, ContextCapture, PhotoScan and many others have formed a distinguished class. The software products, that we are going to discuss here, are intended to solve similar problems that […]

The […]
The use of UAVs is spread in many areas of activity (we’ve talked about it in a previous post). Each of these areas requires specific approaches of drone preparation and operator training. Based on my own experience and the analysis of the experience of other specialists, I want to highlight the main aspects of the […]
It has finally happened! The State Aviation Administration of Ukraine worked out and published ‘guidelines for the owners of unmanned aircrafts’ in the form of understandable infographics (fig. 1). Fig. 1. Information for the operators of UAVs published on August 19, 2016 by the State Aviation Administration caused very mixed response in the drone community, […]
