Since then, there’s been so much water under the bridge, the situation has fundamentally changed. Legislation A more or less clear set of rules and constraints finally emerged in an uneasy, tumultuous and almost epic battle […]
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 […]
Unmanned aerial vehicles have quickly entered our daily reality. And if a few years ago a flying drone in the sky gathered the attention of passers-by, nowadays the squeezing of drones is just another component of the city noise.

Therefore, most of the UAVs are divided into two large categories, namely fixed-wing […]
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, […]
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) had always been the property of the military scientists, but recently some of these devices, such as drones and quadcopters, have gained a place in various areas of civil life. Every day, humanity finds new applications for them, making certain upgrades to these flying assistants. A bright future is predicted for […]
The analysis of the Ukrainian legislation shows a peculiar feature for drones – they fly freely, because nobody tries to observe the laws that do not contain strict rules regarding an unmanned aircraft (UAV) usage so far. However, usage of drones is more forbidden than allowed, and this is especially true for the commercial usage, […]
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as well as any activity that could be potentially dangerous, obviously must have some legal basis. However, the change in the law is quite an inertial and slow process that does not keep pace with the rapid development of technology. Nowadays not only in Ukraine but also in […]
