Results of two years of work.

Posted by Daniel Portillo on April 23, 2013 at 5:00am

This is the result of two years of intense work with major support from Diydrones without this project would have been impossible.
The results are a UAV to perform accurate flight plans in order to photograph large areas with the overlap needed for later processing by a powerful photographs photogrammetry program.
The project has been presented at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena UPCT with great acceptance.

Hi Alexandre, we discard Maja for many things:
It's too large for easy transport and landing an take off can be critical.
EPP is worse than Elapor (multiplex), with elapor we do hundreds landings without problem.
Easiness to buy on any shop, that is very nice for repair.
Maja is best for large payloads, but for fotogrammetry purposes is enough with a autonomy 1h 20min (10.000-12.000mA) and to can carry a nex camera like mentor.

Hi Daniel! Congratulations for your incredible and hard work! And thanks for share with us.

In one of previous comments, you told about the Bormatec Maja, can you say to me the advantages your Multiplex Mentor frame instead of Maja?

Thank you in advance!

Have a good flights!

That´s right Daniel, I was working with multiespectral imagery from Landsat, here you have much more resolution and you obtain the images when you want, It's great :), I'm working in a similar proyect than yours

for an year, so I need another year to obtain good results ;)

The possibilities are infinite, all you can imagine and your hands abilities and technical knowledge. We have the eye on multispectral imagery for agricultural purposes.

Congratulatios, I know the efford that is have this results, not easy.

What did you use for post processing?

Agisoft, Dronemapper, Pix4D, Socetset?

Hi FM - this caught your eye too ehh.

I think I saw something above indicating that the frame is a (Multiplex) Mentor. The rest of the detail may be there but my Spanish is poor!!

Excellent video!!!
This looks like a great combination of systems for mapping small areas in high detail. If possible, please share your setup. Particularly the airframe and the components used, payload capacity, duration etc.
