USING DRONES FOR SAFER SURVEY AND MAPPING WORK ON TRANSPORTATION CORRIDORS

Posted by Walter Volkmann on June 18, 2015 at 4:52pm

3689655704?profile=originalWe recently tested our Structure from Motion (SfM) and Virtual Surveying approach in a road survey scenario. The only significant manual work in the field was to survey ground control and check points. Image acquisition (with a Pixhawk equipped quad copter and a 24Mp camera) as well as SfM processsing was a highly automated exercise that quickly produced BIG data. To extract the essential data, Virtual Survey Tools was used to bring conventional field work to the safe and comfortable office environment.

    Very nice work!

    When you refer to Virtual Survey Tools, are you speaking of Virtual Surveyor?

    I found the video on your website, 'Off to the Pastures', to be a very effective presentation tool, focusing on useful information that can be gained from a fixed-wing or multirotor.
