Hi all,
First off, huge props to the devs on the Pixhawk firmware, and Mission/APM Planner - We have a handful of multi's and planes we fly and all run AP/AC with great success!
I run Propeller (www.propelleraero.com), and we let you deliver your drone data in an easy to use/share/measure web platform. Propeller began wanting to build drones, however our first customers were still looking for an easier way to manage the vast datasets we were collecting, and that has been the focus ever since.
Some of our standout features:
- We accept geotagged source photos and GCPs as well as outputs you may have already generated in Pix4d/Agisoft. All processing performed on top tier Amazon servers, and GCPs placed by our professional remote sensing team. We are not a "black hole" online processing house.
- Customised branding!
- Full 3D in the browser and complex measurements: Volumetrics, change in volumetrics (between two different terrain surfaces), surface area, elevation changes across time.
- GIS/CAD compatible downloads and exports. LAZ, DXF surface TIN, GeoTiff/JPEG. Measurements are exportable as DXF.
- Oblique inspections: Perfect for cell towers, bridges, power transmission. Overlapping photos are stitched together into a street view style tool with annotations! Native imagery resolution remains intact, no orthorectifing.
Plans start at $50 per month and include the full feature set and branded portal, then pay as you upload data.
The platform is being developed with a strong industrial focus: Australia's three biggest aggregate producers and two biggest landfill operators use Propeller everyday to manage their sites, as well as some of the worlds largest mining and construction companies, telecommunications and utility providers. We are building the platform for site managers and foreman rather than drone enthusiasts, in an attempt to bring this great new data to a wider, less technical audience.
If you are currently servicing the aggregate/mining, waste management, construction and asset inspection industries, register for a 7 day unlimited trial and upload some data today. https://app.prpellr.com/accounts/register/. When signing up, use the coupon DIYDRONES to get your first month free.
