About Me:
Hi. I'm a graduated archaeologist. In RC model building for 2 years for now and in the process of building (kit) and equiping an electric SIG Kadet Senior (6s 9000mAh lipo, 560RPV outrunner brushless, 14x7 prop) with remote video, high res aerial photography, autopilot and probably OSD. Goal is to survey for archaeological sites in my region, taking archaeologically relevant aerial pictures (digs, sites, monuments) and eventually extending this for other potential clients. Having fun at it is important too, of course! Professionally, I am much into GIS and stats applied in archaeology. Well, that's it for short.

"I think getting 1.4cm error with pictures shot from 45m above is a pretty good result. My own experimentations let me "only" obtain an average 3d error of 2.8cm from an average altitude of 15m, using a 20mpx 1'' compact camera using Photoscan. But…"

"Time for ladybirding before flying anything over a 450 quad! Why risk an expensive X8 before being 120% able to bring someting back safely in stabilize? By the way: "This is the second major crash for no reason that I can find". I hope you know the…"
"By the way, it was a project with 30 aerial hexacopter shots and 270 handheld shots. Trees were cut out of the 3D model, but some tree shadows on the cliff couldn't be fully avoided."
"If you have a large project, you can separate the pics by areas in a few separate folders. Then, from area/folder 1, select some pics neighboring the area/folder 2 and copy them into folder 2. Do the same for each folder. Now you have each…"
"I had the same issue on my hexa in stabilize. Going down faster = faster woobles. Down slowly ok. I some circumstances, it was even impossible to regain stable flight when the copter was too low after fast descent and I had a minor crash (4 props,a…"
"I'm afraid the slots cut in the central part, even only half way down, make the central cross a quite weak point where most of the weight will be located. The traditional arms-sandwiched-between-two-plates design makes for a nice effort repartition…"
"I guess no particular data sensing except aerial photos used to do the photogrammetry. The three layers are photogrammetric photo rendering on the bottom, a digital elevation model (DEM) obtained from the photogrammetry software in the middle, and…"

"Servos under load will buzz. Digital servos buzz - sometime loud - even under no load. But since HS-50 are analog, I guess they're under some load. Or I miss something."
