Anyone trying to produce “accurate” drone maps and models? We are finding that a lot of people tend to confuse geo-referencing accuracy with measurement accuracy. For example, we have seen a lot of people focus on RTK data to improve measurement accuracy! To remove all the confusion, we decided...

Would it be fair to say that there is a correlation between the height of the buildings being captured and the level of oblique angle used?

Anyone capturing building 3D models? Do you capture oblique photos to get better results? If so what high and low oblique angles do you use? We have been running some of our experiments on an old building and the difference between using obliques vs not using obliques is night and day...

Yes, these are screenshots taken from Hammer Hub :)

Anyone conducting stockpile volume calculations? What are the parameters giving you the most accurate results? We recently undertook a field test study to better understand the relationship between GSD and accuracy of the volume calculations...

Update: We have also published an article on this: https://www.hammermissions.com/post/gcp-rtk-ppk

Hi all, There has been much debate in the industry on GCPs vs RTK vs PPK. No method is the absolutely best, each with it's pros and cons so we decided to make a video discussing all of these options. Hope it's an interesting watch!

Works on all platforms (Windows, Mac, ios, Android) Subscription starting at $49 / mo, scaling to $249 / mo depending on usage. Upload to Hammer Missions for processing Acceptance depends on the company but we have end customers (Telcos) using it Depends on the tower and mode of capture (orbit...

Anyone conducting cell tower inspections? We recently undertook a test cell tower inspection and documented the process in a 10 min video! 📹

Anyone using PPK workflows? We've put together a guide on PPK workflows and would love to get your thoughts on this compared to RTK! https://www.hammermissions.com/post/drone-ppk-workflow-with-hammer-missions

Absolutely! Pros and Cons to both and it's the use-case that is major determining factor.

Hi All, We recently undertook a facade inspection and put together an end-to-end guide: https://www.hammermissions.com/post/drone-facade-mapping-inspection-a-step-by-step-guide Hope it forms an interesting read! 📖

We recently undertook a case study comparing 3D models created using a 50 MP camera vs 20 MP camera shooting for the same GSD. Here's what we found💡 https://www.hammermissions.com/post/drone-camera-megapixels-do-they-matter-for-photogrammetry Hope this forms an interesting read! 📖

Hi all, We have now upgraded our Linear Missions to include a 'width mode': https://www.hammermissions.com/post/what-s-new-in-hammer-missions-december-2021-update

Can we suggest Hammer Missions be also added to this list? Our polygon mapping and linear waypoint missions are free to use for 1 drone, and we also support a range of more complex paid missions: https://hammermissions.com/missions
