Taylor Glenn commented on Taylor Glenn's blog post Announcing Aeriality Version 1.1
"Yes, Aeriality currently only works with a single strip in a single direction.
Rotations will cause distortions. So, well, its not perfect yet... but at least its cheap =)
I'll make that limitation a bit more clear in the instructions for the…"

"Hi Daniel,
Aeriality requires an active connection to the internet in order to access and use your credits. Sometimes on Windows the firewall settings may not allow the program to access the internet. This page…"

"Chris - Thanks! 
4xdones - The short answer is that no, DEM or point cloud data is not being produced as an output. It is possible to produce that data, but it would require some additional computation that is not being done currently.
The 3D…"

"John - Aeriality should work just fine with video from any NIR modified camera. Then you can convert the result images to NDVI.
If anyone gets results like that and wants to share them I would certainly love to see them.
I also have plans to make a…"

"Hugues, Rob, Julien - Thank you all for the encouraging comments. Feel free to share your results and experiences with the software, good or bad (please be good, please be good).
A few users have reported some bugs on Windows, I will have a bugfix…"

"Hi Rostislav,
The normal workflow is to first load the video with the "Select Video" button on the top right under Basic Settings.
As soon as a video file is loaded the "Sweep Video" button should become active.
So, that is my first thought. But if…"

Taylor Glenn commented on Chris Anderson's blog post What UAVs can learn from manned aircraft
"I think this is a great analysis of what can and should happen within the National Airspace System.
I think also though that there is no tenable solution for regulation that does not recognize private property up to some minimum altitude above…"

Taylor Glenn commented on Taylor Glenn's blog post A Simpler Option for Aerial Imagery
"Hi Waladi and Andreas, Sorry I missed this question the first time around.

The shortest answer is, it depends on the resolution of the video and of the stills. 
To go into a bit more depth, a typical case would be 1080p video, which has 1920…"

"@lianpinkoh  I was able to code up a quick alignment strategy using just the image you posted. It is far from perfect, but it does help a bit. The good thing is that this is actually an area with some significant research behind it. So I should be…"

"@lianpinkoh  Cool! Thanks for sharing that. What a beautiful image, even with the distortions.
The buildings and pier at the top look lined up in the vertical dimension but warped crosstrack. And there is a spot that looks roughly correct in about…"

"Yes, the first time I found that MS ICE did a video stitching mode my heart sank a bit. But after investigation I found a couple of serious problems with using it for aerial videos.
First. Their processing mode was made for video "panoramas" taken…"

"@John  Thanks! You are correct in that the pushbroom scan does not handle sidelap pairs. It just makes a long strip along the direction of motion of the camera. My other comments to @keeyen and @dan talk about stitching of the strip maps and future…"
