    Simple ortho stitching app with free export

    I was able to run it again and got it to work after clearing space on my hard drive. Which projection do you use; Orthographic? Have you tried less overlap with success to reduce number of images and processing time? How do you save as JPEF or tiff? I seem to only get option for Photoshop.

    Simple ortho stitching app with free export

    It was a new housing development. The problem is it only showed a vertical sliver of the overall area. I couldn’t get it to show a wider area. I only tried once, maybe I should do it again. Front/side overlap was around 70-75

    Simple ortho stitching app with free export

    What settings did you use in ICE? I tried it in auto detect and it didn’t show everything

    Simple ortho stitching app with free export

    Probably 50-100. I tried 250 with Microsoft ICE, but it didn’t work. So figure I should try with fewer images

    Simple ortho stitching app with free export

    I’ve got some jobs where they simply want a stitch ortho image file for simple tracking construction progress. That’s it, nothing more, nothing less. Does anyone know of a cheap or free app that will do this (ie. Not Drone deploy)?

    More TX Pilots Needed for Telecom - Also Other States for Telecom, Power, Golf and Mapping

    Another value of the training is it gets an additional skill/experience. I thought telecom inspections would be straight forward until heard the detailed description and requirements. With 5G networks about to take off, I can see this work picking up. For me I set aside a small budget for...

    Construction Progress Photos

    Ok thanks. That has been my experience, but the video editor in me wants everything to look symmetrical

    Construction Progress Photos

    Are people using a fixed, same value white balance for their progress photos or just setting the WB based on actual kelvin (ie sunny vs cloudy)? I’m wondering if it will look more consistent with the same WB independent of weather conditions at least for progress photos/videos

    Airspace Authorization Delays

    Funny, I just got called today by one of the FAA contractor to clarify my 130day old authorization request. I asked for dates that had passed. I told them I’ll take whatever the could give me, so the gave me through sept 2018 which gets to Laanc deployment. He couldn’t help with other...

    More TX Pilots Needed for Telecom - Also Other States for Telecom, Power, Golf and Mapping

    How’s the jobs for an I2-X5S in Southern California looking? I don’t have time for a lot but could use a few small jobs/wk/mth to supplement. I’m already signed up but haven’t attended the training- guess I was hoping you’d offer something locally someday [emoji848] I guess my point is, I’m not...

    Airspace Authorization Delays

    Has anyone decided to go for airspace waivers instead of the authorizations? Waivers last longer, but require more details in the application process. I know my night flying waiver didn’t take too long. Wondering if it would make a difference
