About Me:

I'm interested in BAP/KAP and UAV for grassroots photo-mapping and documenting communities. Also see http://belizeopensource.org for motivation for the mapping interest.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Doing BAP/KAP and have an EasyStar and quadcopters I'd like to explore outfitting with gear for autopilot operation and FPV to also use for photomapping.

"These really are exquisite examples of power of visualization tools. Remind me, what software are you using to generate the DEMs? I realize you've probably said before, but I didn't search for prior posts. Thanks for sharing these."
