    Just need to say the 3D reconstruction is amazing!

    As you probably know, a lot of GIS/Remote Sensing applications. E.g. tassel cap transform. Perhaps you can use the 3D stuff in reverse to make true ortho mosaics.

    To be honest with you - not exactly sure on the camera side of things.  I'm into RC, have been for years, I was asked about the possabilities of setting up a UAV project that could carry the cameras and fly the course.  The farm that I work for put up the $ for the APM and all the goodies to go with it.  As of right now I'm still working on the tuning and getting a test plane to fly the mission.  Once that is completed we are looking at a much larger platform to carry cameras extra batteries and fuel.

    @Clark why not to take full spectrum, IR+visual, instead of two at the same time? What is the real requirement?

    The project that I am working on is to eventually take IR photos of our crops where I work. You have to take 1 digital photo and 1 IR photo at the same time. You then overlay one with the other and then you are able to determine plant health and dryer areas due to irrigation not working correctly.
    We currently have the photos take from a full scale 172 and spend over 60k / yr to have it done.

    Oh yeah Chris Oh yeah

    Its worth it for the purple.

    I still think that none of us actually know what the top application of civil sUAS will be.

    Top notch.

    Sensor technology and information distribution seems completely ignored at the minute.
