    Yikes that's quite the mark up or quite the great promotional offer.

    It's more of a scaled up Z3.

    Thanks Shaun. That's what I was trying to do this morning, but it didn't seem very intuitive to me. I was in a hurry, though .I'll try again when I get back home.

    Yes, but don't bother with more than 3.  Adding more questionable points isn't going to help.

    I was just planning on using the GPS data from Google earth and adding it to the mosaic, if possible. Doesn't need to be super accurate, just enough to properly orient the results.

    Do you just select a point in the raycloud and add the GPS data (7 times), and then re optimise?
  • Shaun Bell September 17, 2015 at 12:42pm

    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?

    On shift until Wednesday morning. Will the tlog not work for you?

    I need a .bin file of the flight. (log)

What are the impacts of agricultural drones on the agricultural development of various countries?

Agricultural drones have gone from being questioned by the market to being actively promoted by the government, from tens of thousands to thousands of dollars. Behind this is the rise of technology in the entire industry. However, the degree of promotion of agricultural drones varies greatly in different regions. What do you think of the application of agricultural drones in your country?https://youtu.be/TDTW9TsvjZw EFT agricultrul drone solution

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…
