About Me:

I am from Atlanta Georgia. I just bought a 3d Robotics multi copter. My objective is to start producing arial photography. Update! I killed the 3d Robotics Y6. I have moved on to a Turbo Ace Quad controled by a Pixhaw. The little 6 bladed baster tried to cut me.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Vertical Photography, DTM's, light weight gimbals, chdk cameras, autonomus flight, y6's, and just any thing cool.

"I am just getting into point cloud classification. I am using Agisoft. They have a built in GUI for doing this. It is done by taking the lowest point elevation in a user defined cell and applying a masking angle to that along with a max height. I…"

"Here is a site we surveyed. I think there were 14 pictures used to create this mosaic. The camera was a Canon point and shoot. We had tilt problems with some of the photos.

"OK let’s get something out of the way. I am completely new to UAVs and it is a miracle from God that I have got my Y6 as far as I have. 
Last month I was trying to survey an 8 acre farm and did a flight plan that encompassed the site. I like to use…"
