The title says it all. I'm working on an open source mapping and analysis software and I need two different sample data:
The raw log file from an Ardupilot Mega 2 board and downward facing aerial images or video from a flight. If someone has these, you will be greatly appreciated and remembered as a contributor to this software.

Just send you a PM with some images shot at 100m altitude along with GPS data to test your software! Would you also need the IMU data? Really interested to see the results

I have been test flying my quad today, I dont believe that I will be able to get a sample that is good enough for analisys. It flys the pattern but I am unable to get a downward facing shot due to the winds. Perhaps an airplane will be better for flying the patterns
Hi, I'm new to areal photo and wondering if and why the Contour GPS wouldn't be more desirable than the GoPro. It does record GPS at upto 4 intervals per second.
Thanks.
Ok this is some dirty data. There were some decent 25+ mph winds and a bit of turbulence above the treeline. But here ya go first round of data, It should be finished uploading by Saturday morning by 6AM CST at the absolute latest. I got Sat internet and it sucks for file transfers.

Interesting Job Archan, It's a pity that I'don't have any material yet, I'm lerning to fly, perhaps I can help you with material in near future :)
Ok here are the constants. Sorry i didnt get it done yesterday, I used a hp laptop with a 15.4" screen (391.16mm) for the display of the checkerboard. The width of 2 squares is 53.5mm, the camera was 250mm away from the screen with the lens as parallel to the display. this is as stable as I could get it by hand. the laser dot on the upper left is approximate center with the dot on the lower right the reflected beam from the display.
The download link for my video clips is below.

Let me know what resolution you want and Ill get some video shot over lunch 1pm central. If not It will have to wait till tomorrow.
how do you want the flight, Stabalize, loiter, wp guidance? Any particular camera angle? I can get something up tonight using a swann freestyle at either 720p/60fps or 1080p/30fps
