This would be my question as well. First off, how was the LiDAR generated. Manned aircraft, drone? I understand a problem with not having checkpoints from the LiDAR mission but there should be some common features that you can create checkpoints...
Your project there highlights perfectly why you (and anyone else including the LIDAR survey op) HAVE to prove your work with checkpoints. Understand that RMSE is a mathematical estimate. It can be a very good indicator of precision. But...
Its a somewhat unfair question.
The Matrice is a new drone packing the newest technology, while the Autel is a dated drone that is creeping closer to End of Life.
Both will do the job you need, but if you are going to offer other services the...
A mission of 4 sqmi (640 acres) would be close to 2.5 hours of actual flight time at 200ft AGL, so add the time it would take for multiple setups to maintain VLOS. Make sure to use real-time terrain following. Travel to and from the site, data...
Hi everyone,
Glad to be here! I’m always looking to learn, exchange ideas, and be inspired by what others are doing. If there’s any way I can support or contribute, count me in. Looking forward to great conversations and new connections!
Thanks...
Lightroom isn’t ideal for drawing precise outlines. For adding property boundaries, you'd be better off using a program like Photoshop, GIMP (free), or even Canva Pro for simpler edits. These let you add lines, shapes, and control color and...
Love the AI voiceover and video thumbnail featuring something that's not even in the video. I'll believe about 20% of this actually works as designed without being propped up on a stick.
Not the band, but just saw this.

The executive order mostly helps the commercial sUAS world by pushing the FAA to move faster on rules for flying...
Artec licenses Leica hardware so the difference is the software. Leica's Cyclone Register 360 is for surveying workflows and Artec Studio is more for object modeling/meshing, so if you want it real-world relevant you are going to have to do that...
We typically do roof inspections from 20-30ft above the roof with a gimbal angle of 75deg and around 8mph. I also do a crabwalk around the perimeter catching the top 3rd of the face of wall. If it is a commercial building with rooftop HVAC units...
