    [Drone Data Accuracy] Difference between geo-referencing accuracy and measurement accuracy?

    Anyone trying to produce “accurate” drone maps and models? We are finding that a lot of people tend to confuse geo-referencing accuracy with measurement accuracy. For example, we have seen a lot of people focus on RTK data to improve measurement accuracy! To remove all the confusion, we decided...

    [3D Models] How important are oblique images?

    @Dave Pitman what if you had to do it in 1 flight? :) What approach do you use for obliques in that case? Hoping it makes an interesting discussion!

    [3D Models] How important are oblique images?

    Anyone capturing building 3D models? Do you capture oblique photos to get better results? If so what high and low oblique angles do you use? We have been running some of our experiments on an old building and the difference between using obliques vs not using obliques is night and day...

    Accurate Stockpile Calculations?

    That's correct. In this dataset, 0.35cm / 3.5mm per px yielded an OK result, however, much more accurate results were obtained at 0.18cm / 1.8mm per px. The optimal GSD might vary depending on the size of what you're measuring!

    Accurate Stockpile Calculations?

    Hi Dave, contrary to popular belief, we're finding that there is no "absolute GSD" at which you can expect to get good results. A good GSD itself a function of what you are looking to measure and how "big" or "small" it should appear in the images for accurate results. However, on relative...

    Accurate Stockpile Calculations?

    Anyone conducting stockpile volume calculations? What are the parameters giving you the most accurate results? We recently undertook a field test study to better understand the relationship between GSD and accuracy of the volume calculations...

    GCPs vs RTK vs PPK | Accuracy

    Hi all, There has been much debate in the industry on GCPs vs RTK vs PPK. No method is the absolutely best, each with it's pros and cons so we decided to make a video discussing all of these options. Hope it's an interesting watch!
