About Me:
'Eclectic' engineer; I've worked in the product safety & certification (industrial machinery and heavy equipment) for almost 20 years; my interests encompass 3D graphics and modelling, Computer Vision, Digital Image Processing, programming (C++), photogrammetry, multi-spectral remote sensing, infrared thermography (I'm Cartified as Level 2 thermography operator).
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I started working with UAVs in May 2015; I am a registered UAV operator and pilot in Italy, I provide aerial surveys for: - Mapping, Photogrammetry, 3D modelling, DEMs, etc.; - NIR surveys (precision farming, NDVI, etc.); - Radiometric Thermal Infrared surveys (Photovoltaic Installations, territory, agriculture).

Hi; I was wondering if it'd be possible to use Google Earth Pro 3D data to plan surveys in Mission Planner. Thanks
"Hi Alexey; thanks for the reply and clarification; I'll do that.

Hello Everyone; I just joined the group, and would like to thank you for the great software, support, and for having me here.As part of our pre-flight safety procedures, we first upload the planned route on to the flight controller (this is done,…

"Andreas, I'm not really familiar with that command (seems more for planes than copters); will take a look at it.
Thanks"

"Hello Everyone.
I've been investigating for a (relatively) simple, reliable, and "all-round" planning tool or method to use for vertical structures, landslides, cliffs, power-lines, etc.

"The camera shutter logs on to an ublox M8T; the Pixhawk uses its dedicated 3DR GPS unit (M8N, I believe).
The M8T logs to a simple SD card logger connected to the GPS board (no sbc used)."

"Hi Sandy.
I use an u-blox M8T to acquire raw gps data that are then post-processed, and don't really use the Pixhawk gps log data.
KAP UAV us set to one-shot."

"Hi; I was not able to consistently capture the LED upon shutter activation, so I decided to replace the camera with one having a hot-shoe (a Nikon DSLR).

Hi; I'm posting this to see if somebody can shed some lights; posted also on discuss.ardupilot (https://discuss.ardupilot.org/t/terrain-follow-arducopter/19688).Yesterday I flew a mission that was supposed to be in "Terrain Follow" mode, however it…
Hi All;I'm writing hoping that some of you experts can tip me out.I'm fine tuning a heavy lift quadcopter: DJI S1000 stock frame+ESC+Motors+props, and Pixhawk 1 FC.The UAV has a sturdy gimbal to carry a DSLR camera + Thermal Infrared sensor + NIR…
