Nice to see these results from KU Leuven. I am a student at the faculty of electrical engineering. I will likely do a PhD on UAV communication next year.

u4eake commented on Dries Raymaekers's blog post ArduPlane flies at 4500m altitude"Hi Dries, great stuff !! I'm jealous! I was hoping you would post something here.
I have started a UAV group in yammer, a social network tool we use at KULeuven. Mind if I repost it there ?
I invited prof. Schrevens too.…"
bcrow commented on Dries Raymaekers's blog post ArduPlane flies at 4500m altitude"thanks. I guess flying above 14000 ft adds to the issues of flying in remote areas. Great photos from the Canon - I also use a Powershot (and a Rebel T3i) for photo mapping. I am going to have to look into the PIX 4D software, nice…"
Dries Raymaekers commented on Dries Raymaekers's blog post ArduPlane flies at 4500m altitude"Thanks . I used a simple camera (canon powershot S100) and basic setup for the X8 (2*3S-5000mAh Lipo -13*8 prop, APM2.5 with 3dr telemetry). Keep it simple and light when flying at high altitudes!! "
bcrow commented on Dries Raymaekers's blog post ArduPlane flies at 4500m altitude"I am a bit interested in the inst. array that you used. What type of camera did you use with the PIX 4D software? did you (or were you able to) use a LIDAR / or multi-spec camera system as well?
Very well done.
Cheers,

ArduPlane flies at 4500m altitude

During a 4 weeks mission to Peru we have done several UAV flights for mapping purposes. These included flights at high altitude over the Andes. The highest one was over the scenic “Bosque de Piedras”, at 4500m altitude, where we have mapped a 1km2 area in a matrix flight pattern.
