The topic of 'drone registration' hasnt had the straightest answer from the FAA... when you do a web search you can get several different 'authoritative' answers. So this summer I asked the FAA rep for my state for just that - a straight answer - he sent me a link to sUAS Registration In a...

but i accidentally deleted the email upon opening. please re-send. i do have this workable, and welcome sharing my approach. Dr. V

Collin.... upload your Telemetry and RemoteGPS .csv files... I want to see what is recorded.... I will add in the formulas I use to get these csv files suitable for creating a synthetic GPX file... ok? or email me directly... [email protected] DocV we will get this all resolved...

Collin, I have a small fleet of 6 Typhoons, some Q500's, some 500+s and some G's... all have the same limitation in that they dont geo-tag stills taken. What they DO have, is the ability to record flight data if you install a microSD card on the ST10 flight controller. Do this first. I...

We have similar experiences - processing locally IS a huge time commitment and I plan carefully to run jobs over-night, and get annoyed when some small failure halts an entire job. Pix4D has failed on me several times, when a single image out of 200 has 'something' wrong with it and the...

Pix4D is enjoying havinga great foothold in a new service industry... but I agree -their costs are steep 'if' you dont have customers paying for the service. I suspect that our small business utilizes services like Pix4D in a batch mode - we complete the field work for several clients, then...

Pix4D has been at this a LONG time, so they have some features that I dont see anywhere else - on in particular keeps my team interested - extracting frames directly from video. We fly in the upper midwest USA - and our weather isnt anything like what California has... here is it gusty...

For those who are new to www.mapsmadeeasy.com, they are what Pix4D 'used to' be. Back only a few years ago, Pix4D offered their software as a service, and while it wasnt cheap, it worked GREAT. Its unclear if they just got too many orders to continue as a service, or if they planned to release...

Typhoon-ers... Ill try and wrap up a proper set of instructions this weekend (it IS a national holiday in the states tho) and post it asap Dr. Vogt

Locally, the relative placement and orientation information available through geo-tagging information improves the stitching of the individual images - the GPCs only geo-locate the images in their frame of reference, and geo-locate the final product in your coord system. The performance of...

Greetings. I have been following this thread regarding geo-tagging stills taken by the Yuneec Typhoon 500, 500+, and G (I have a couple of each in my fleet). If everyone is still anxious to do this, then I have this resolved. I have been putting together and testing a 'work flow' to batch...
