Hi. I'm thinking about building a fixed wing base, to use as base for a camera intended for photogrammetry. I have access to Context Capture. I'm thinking of something rather lightweight, meaning do super heavy long lense stuff on board. Any suggestions on a camera that can be set to snap at predefined intervals? I'm planning on having an FPV cam on it for landing/takeoff.

Open Source Drone Payload Project For SLAM

I'm leading a project to develop a completely open source system for deploying artificial intelligence and computer vision on a drone, and I thought Terrain/Surface Mapping might be interested. The goal is to support research groups monitoring things like coastline erosion, wild fires, disaster response to floods, etc. Let me know what you think?website: https://kitware.github.io/adapt/One area that we focused a lot on was really good temporal synchronization between our inertial measurement…

Phantom 4 pro or Inspire 1 Pro?

I'm testing an Inspire 1 Pro with x5 camera and 25mm lens (50mm equivalent) for photogrammetry.It is working fine but due to the 50mm field of view I have to fly at 200m height, and missions take a lot of time. The other lens I have is a 12mm (24mm equivalent) which I guess will introduce too much distortion.But I have seen som tests done with Phantoms and I'm impressed with the results.Phantom 4 pro has a 1" sensor and a 20mp camera and almost 30 minutes of autonomy, compared to 15 minutes of…
