Commercial use of drones in farms and other agriculture
Open Source Drone Payload Project Supporting In-Flight AI
I'm leading a project to develop a completely open source system for deploying artificial intelligence and computer vision on a drone. We are trying to make the system as general purpose as possible, but one application would be supporting precision agricultural. The real-time, in-flight processing aspects of the payload are probably less interesting for precision AG, but the data collection and curation capabilities might be. We are getting started with a few specific missions, we are…

Oops, sorry I meant a Spade, which is a scaled up Z3...to a coincidentally 70" wingspan.

Yikes that's quite the mark up or quite the great promotional offer.
It's more of a scaled up Z3.
Is that a ritewing zephyr? I swear that is the exact design. I hope Chris at Ritewing is involved in that company, he designed an incredible airframe, those bays and choro design are his signature, i'd recognize it anywhere!

Yes, but don't bother with more than 3. Adding more questionable points isn't going to help.
Do you just select a point in the raycloud and add the GPS data (7 times), and then re optimise?
How accurate? If accuracy isn't that important, just take out a hand held gps and mark at lest three points you can see in the point cloud. Then import those to GCP's.
2 pix4d questions -
1. Is it possible to georeference a project after stitching, but still within Pix4d? I haven't seen any options other than adding GCPs in the raycloud editor and then re optimizing. Really, I'd just like to turn the ortho .tiff into a .geotiff.
2. The only option I see to export a shapefile is within the index calculator. When using RGB imagery, I don't see the option to export a shapefile without creating a false color map. Is this because the project I'm working in is not georeferenced?
