Jjaja6009 replied to the thread Best way to start a career in drones.Do both. Start out by getting your Part 107. You can easily self study and pass if you are self motivated. Pilot Institute also offers a pretty good class that will refund some portion of the course cost if you fail. You can always start out...

Jjaja6009 replied to the thread Water leakages captured with drone (Thermal).Sunny weather in the summer will help. It will solar load the ground making it hotter. It will make the water evaporate quicker making those areas cooler.

JNo. The AUVSI TOPs program is pointless. There isn't a single company that gives a crap about it. Don't waste your money.

Jjaja6009 replied to the thread Water leakages captured with drone (Thermal).It's possible to find leaks with a thermal. In the summer when hot the water leaks will appear cold and in the winter vice versa. Farmers with drones do this often to find broken irrigation lines and to look for too much watering in sections.

Jjaja6009 replied to the thread AVUSI Certification worthwhile?.AVUSI has these Trusted Operator certificates that they make you pay a lot of money for. The college I work at part time thought about going that route, but didn't. APSA is the Airborne Public Safety Association and offers a course called BPERP...

Jjaja6009 replied to the thread The Facts about the Texas drone crash.Working in Public Safety, I see TFR's as being a totally misunderstood point when flying. Whether an agency is operating under Part 107 or Part 91, TFR's are misunderstood. As part of a solid preflight check, the RPIC MUST check for TFR's in...

Jjaja6009 reacted to Dave Pitman's post in the thread Lidar to photogrammetry mesh layer comparisons with Like.
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...

Jjaja6009 replied to the thread Lidar to photogrammetry mesh layer comparisons.I just want to add. You stated comparing mesh to the LiDAR. Compare the point cloud from your photogrammetry to the LiDAR point cloud. You can use Cloud Compare, it's free. Shift the LiDAR data to your data. Show the engineers your RMSE (I hope...

Jjaja6009 replied to the thread Lidar to photogrammetry mesh layer comparisons.What was your RMS? If your RMS as an example is 2 to 3 cm, the problem isn't your data, it's the older data. 0.64m is 64 cm and is not that high quality. How many check points were used in the LiDAR data? You can 100% compare data from...
