John, I think it's the other way around. We are the "only ones" who have lawfull rights to walk (or camp) on other persons land without asking. To others, our ideas about this might look strange.

Agree, (I have found shutter speed 1/600 - 1/800 to work well with an un-dampened camera). Besides, turn of all "auto-functions" (zoom, focus, etc), fix focus at "infinate".

brakar replied to UAVOZ's discussion 'what camera for aerial photograpy/mapping'

Canon PowerShot S95 is also a good option, but a bit more expensive.

The PC-GeoRef tool was split into two separate pices, where only the second part (PC-AffineTrans) was more or less completed. The current status is it works well with some pointclouds, but probably not with others. PC-AffineTrans can…

Nice, looking forward to see more of this. Btw, what are the two black boxes on the top and on the side of the plane?

You are welcome. The images can be found here: http://www.uavmapping.com/index.php?p=1_8_Aerial-photos If you plan to download all the images, I would suggest using the "Down Them All" plug-in for Firefox, which makes the downloading much…

ROS and mapping

In some of the ROS stacks there are tools for mapping, sparse bundle block adjustments (SBA), working with point clouds and more, which I think could be potentially useful with regard to photogrammetry related work. l did download the ROS electric package a while ago, but never managed to finish the SBA tutorials, due to various problems.I would like to hear if there are others who have thoughts/experience with ROS and its tools related to mapping.See More

Thanks, This is a small section of a set of stitched/mosaiced images shot for the DIYDrones T3 competition round 4, last winter. I think there was about 150 individual images. I also have one other similar set shot from a slightly…

No, winter is greate! Huge open surfaces on frozen lakes, soft landings everywhere, beautiful light and motives, usually calm weather. What else is there to ask for from a rc flying perspective? Out of the sofa, go flying, climb trees, live out…

brakar commented on Krzysztof Bosak's blog post 'GreatPlanes LANCAIR EP as UAV'

A nice thing with those kind of planes is they have lots of room for autopilots and stuff. It does however not look like a stable airframe like the Pteryx, another airframe meant for testing?

Wow. Weather forecast is looking great here for a change, so just have to find something to divert the wife with, and go for it then!

brakar commented on Chris Anderson's blog post 'Restarting the T3 Contest: Now with copters!'

Arrr, is the arducopter firmware ready for this kind of missions right out of the box now? (Mine have been dusting at the top of a shelf for a while. Maybe it's time to take it down?)

Georeferencing of pointclouds, call for alfa/beta testers

Posted on December 3, 2010 at 3:09pm 9 Comments 0 Likes

Hi,

This might be a bit off from the main interest on this forum, but then, you never know.

For my part, the thrill for UAV's was originally the interst for what they could be used for, not the UAV's themselvs. But like most newcomers , I soon learned to tune the expectations for small UAV's down a level or two. Strangely enough, it wasn't all that easy. Lot's of the functionality requested isn't there (yet), more skills then… Continue

Og super grattis med "santa-uav-photo" konkuransen...

Driver ikke selv med autopilot ennå, men set kommer sikkert i løpet av året.
Men driver mye med FPV. Det var grunnen til at jeg begynte med RC i utgangspunktet....
Jeg bor i Oslo og flyr sor det meste rundt omkring rundt byen, men det hadde vært utrolig morro å treffes og "preke skit"....
