Aerial mapping with the Mavic 2 Pro for 1:200 sale topographic survey is possible and the theoretical GSD is adequate. As the Mavic has no DGPS capacity GCPs are essential. Issues of image resolution, GPS/barometric heighting* and autonomous mission control … Continue reading

A look back Next year will see the 20th ArchDoc week at the RLICC. In preparation for this I have been asked to write a summary of the 20 editions of the initiative for publication. I have collected my … Continue reading

A new edition of CAP722. Following discussion with PfCO holders I have been looking at the prohibited space restriction as published in the July 2019 edition of CAP722: The hatched area are those zones in which small UAS flight is … Continue reading

I am a little surprised at how operating SUA has changed my approach to low level aerial photography. In theory, with a drone I can wait for the light, launch, shoot and bag the frame I want. In practice this … Continue reading

Low density data is often the name of the game with laser scan surveys and as SUA cover and simultaneous location and measurement (SLAM) systems emerge the dreaded dot to dot drawing game gets unavoidable. ZebRevo will soon have serious … Continue reading

From Cambrigde to Ely by bike on the death trap A10 is 17.5 miles. On light traffic roads and paths National Cycle Route (NCR) 11 it is 21.5 miles. But there is a snag: National Route 11 follows the traffic-free … Continue reading
There are probably better ways of getting a handle on how high to fly the Mavic Pro2 but seeing the numbers is how I like to work, the sequence of scales is obvious and the ceiling of 120m AGL is … Continue reading

The relationship between GSD and map scale is simple in theory but the practice of getting sharp ortho results such that they function as a photo-map is not so straightforward. From the excellent Pix4D support pages: The printing scale indicates … Continue reading

The Mavic 2Pro’s L1D-20c camera has photogrammetric potential. To establish flight parameters for 1:200 scale mapping with it an effective minimum ceiling and shot interval need to be tested. In theory this is a simple application of the photo-scale equation … Continue reading
