mapping

Hi guys, I'm an OpenStreetMap contributor and also Mavic owner. OSM is a free crowd sourced map platform used in many applications. We can draw maps from Bing imagery, but it is often old or in very low resolution. Here I think ortophoto imagery shot from my Mavic can help a lot. For this...

ill be surveying a pipeline complex with a DJI phantom 4 pro +. Any pointers on camera settings, angle and overlap?

My name is Barney (Yenrab). I am in Litchfield Park, AZ. It is in Luke AFB Class D area. Arizona is a great place to fly except mid summer when it is too hot. I have flown fixed wing models and helicopters and finally have put two favorite things together. My Phantom 4 Advance + is...

We now are considering purchase of the equipment to install GCPs. We are torn between buying Propeller Aeropoints or Reach RS receivers. I've read a lot about both systems and at the moment I see the only obvious advantage of Aeropoints - it is really easy to use. Overall Reach RS seems to be...

Anyone know of an app or approach for doing video transects, like the same kind of transects done by Map PIlot or Drone Deploy but done using video instead of static photos? I think in many situations doing video transects with the same amount of sidelap as a photo mission could be very useful...

Hello guys, i hope someone will be cool enough to answer and please don't be rude cause i'm learning and i don't know drones that much . I'm studying in environnement , and i saw the potential of drones in "mapping" so i decided to become a drone provider and i want to start as soon as possible...

Hi, I have been mapping some very flat salt marshes using the P4P and getting a very obvious syncline in my SfM derived point clouds due to radial distortion. I have been reading up on this and it seems that parallel nadir flights paths (i.e. a standard GSPro mapping project) are the worst...

Hello everyone! I have created a software package that can be used to compensate for rolling shutter artifacts and provide corrected images amongst other things. The overall scope is to increase the accuracy on 3D models created with photographs captured by Phantoms or other low cost UAVs and...

Hi folks, How are you getting your height measurements ? (for buildings / roofs) One option is going through the Drone deploy browser and drawing lines on 2d. An auto cad option ? (measuring height in point cloud of auto cad looks tedious) Virtual Surveyor has a height measurement tool...

I just bought a P4P+, the model with the DJI screen. I want to use it for photogrammetric mapping and have noted several apps that appear to do what I want: DJI GS Pro, Litchi, etc. The problem is is that they seem to be IPad or Android based. Is there any software that I can download directly...

Hi everyone, Just wondering what apps are compatible with the P4 that are available or on the market currently for those interested in mapping/surveying. Thanks, Isaac.

Hi everyone, I'm going to be doing a job soon with my P4 where I am hoping to take photos of a house from different angles over the course of 30 weeks. I have just discovered the dji Ground Station Pro app for the iPad, and the 3D mapping tool seems very useful for the job. My two questions are...

A couple questions about using the Phantom 4 Pro+ for 2d mapping. First off I did not realize that pro+ was limited in app selection for mapping when I bought it. I need advice please! I work in landscape design and we, primarily, work on large country properties. We would like to incorporate...

I am trying to process some data from a DJI Inspire and the images were taken at about a 20 degree angle to the direction of travel, as in below: The left picture is what you think the photo alignment should look like, but the images we have were taken like the diagram on the right. Does the...

Hello, I was speaking to a gentleman today who has retired from the oil and gas industry. He wants to get into 3D mapping for oil and gas companies. However, where he would be working has no WiFi and no cell service. Is there any mapping software out there that works will no WiFi connection or...

Hi All, I have used lots of 3rd party apps in the past on other DJI Products with most glitches ironed out over the last couple of years, however I am new to the P4P, I use UAV's primarily for Mapping. I have tried MapPilot, Drone Deploy, and Groundstation Pro with the same glitch. I am using...

Hello All, I work for an engineering consulting company who has a survey crew that often surveys large areas of land to check as-built conditions for large civil projects, thank surveying 5 acres. In order to speed things up we have come to the conclusions due to the low cost of the entry point...

I've been doing a lot of photography and video. As I study for Part 107, I'm looking into mapping. This is an interesting piece going through the workflow of mapping large areas: goo.gl/0VGYvJ

Hi all, I am currently working in mining and seeking advice on whether or not the Phantom 4 is accurate enough for 3d mapping to achieve less then 5cm in 'XYZ' values. I am very new to drones but have been researching quite a bit over the last couple of months and just need a few things...

Hi Phantom friends, So I am trying to see about creating a 2D line survey drawing with my phantom 4, is it possible or only to create 3D models?
