I do all the processing in Photoscan so do the initial processing, add GCP for cm accuracy and go from there - the workflow allows for point clouds, 3d models, orthophotos, contours, measurement volume, etc - no im still using phantom 4 pro as its mechanical shutter. Went from Inspire 1 Pro...

Yes - if you ensure that your ground control points are geo-accurate and match to your data, then when you create your contours they will all match as part of the data set. I only use Agisoft as dont like the workflow in Pix4D and also had support issues with the software.

I will use 4-5 ground control points in various areas of the mapping scene, run my mission with images being geo-tagged with the aircraft gps for 5m+ accuracy then post process. So ill get my ground control point data and post process to gm cm accuracy on the ground control points. Ill then...

Its also required in the UK for commercial operations as part of the Ops Manual also!

I live under a beacon both on the coast and near a local airport - I live on the outskirts of a small seaside town (15k pop) and I quite often can look out of our windows and see various aircraft, police , HEMS, military and civilian, and paraglider, and I often wonder if I was at 400ft whether...

Great thread guys - but also quite concerning, we went from DJI Phantom 4, to Inspire 1 Pro (loved it) to Inspire 2 (great images but unreliable for mapping with flyaways), and was just going to move to the Phantom 4 Pro which is meant to be the best flying sensor for mapping (other than custom...

Graham - can I try that dataset in Photoscan Pro - I have been having a few issues with the other one!

"Ouch" very painful watching knowing the control will do nothing - are you insured or is it a total financial loss for you ?

Just joining this forum from Inspirepilots.com as just sold our Inspire 2, and cancelled by phantom pro 4 black order to look at the H520 - all im seeing is similar problems here as I did with DJI - is it because its been rushed out perhaps for Christmas ? This is an issue with this model or is...

Thats disappointing to hear - we also serve the emergency services and disaster response arena, and has just sold our Inspire 2 for Phantom 4 Pro Black edition and cancelled my order when I saw the 520. I have emailed the UK office for further details with no joy as yet - I was hoping with a UK...

Yes I went through that list when starting as well - be careful though, Drone2Map is not on the package for £$100 per year. I tried that! What can you tell me about the 520 for mapping, as we are seriously looking at one for us - do you have some images I could try and process to see how it...

All the ESRI software you get for the price is amazing value - the learning curve is Hugh - I say that with greatest respect -the fact you were unaware of what GSD meant, would suggest you dont have a GIS background - in that case - looking and ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap would be like looking at a...

Indeed they are yes- I didn't word that very well - however most people use the cloud processing of Pix4d, DroneDeplay, Maps Made Easy etc, because of the low monthly processing cost.

You also have relative accuracy which is relevant to the local scene and how the calculation interact on a scene level (volumetric, distance etc) and absolute accuracy which the geospatial accuracy against the actual known position on the planet - we quite often get relative to a few cm by...

I second that - we use 3D Survey, as well as Drone2Map, Agisoft PhotoScan Pro and Simactive Corralator Pro and can see although the point clouds are not as good as the other packages (not as much detail) I much prefer 3D Survey to Pix4d - the other main thing is this is a local package so no...
