First! i'm bad in english but i try to explain everything i done and i have many question to help me if you can.
Last year thailand flood, This is my head video camera 9 km. from take off point.
And i have another camera under the plane for aerial photos
When already have raw material aerial photos then i used photosphop Command to make 1 peice situation map like this (20 photos)
after that i used photoshop (Automate->Photomerge) to processed a lot of pieces (1 piece create from 20 original aerial photos) again for only 1 map photo.
and i used global mapper software to make ground control point for geo reference in this map photo.
make .png and export to .kml to display in google earth
it's not perfect but i can use this for my job.
my job is volunteer in disaster in thailand.
when situation come i use this map for meeting with local people and another volunteer or doctor to plan how to help before real help from gov come.
i learn from many people from internet and rc group in thailand
this is my plane
Hand made air frame form stein aircraft (Thailand)
433 MHz Dradon link
Dradon lab autopilot
2 x 5800 mah
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next i want to learn about ardu mega and imu to merge pitch roll yaw to each aerial photo.
i have questions
If i buy APM V2 and IMU V3
- i must to buy OSD?
- between Full ArduPilot Mega kit (soldered, code loaded and ready to fly) from Udrones! or APM V2 and IMU V3 i need?
- IMU V2 can trigger camera , IMU V3 can do that?
- after flight what software to merge pitch & Heading log file with photos?
Somebody can help me or teach me to do this?
Thank you

Hi Jan are you jani's friend? I ever want to jani's house in last year but that time i never fly before. Jani told me try to collect flight hours first. form that day 1 year until now.
I never upload any video before but i try to ardu autopilot because need IMU to trigger camera intervals in flight to put more info for each image.
I define GCP to make geo reference only 1 time after make map.
I think if you want to try make the map i must have geo reference for every images right?
Thank
