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 ;)

    Thanks Daniel. I am more interested in the current available software that I could use for similar purposes-  i.e. image stitching, and grid-navigation.  I too see the unlimited potential of these types of platforms.

    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.

    I too am interested in the software for control and post processing.. this is a great demo of the technology used.  Well done, and congratulations!  Besides what was used in the video, what are the other possible options on the digital side for this platform?

    What did you use for post processing?

    Agisoft, Dronemapper, Pix4D, Socetset?
