    Waiver search engine

    Hey Dave, thanks for the heads up. Should be fixed now, please let me know if everything looks good.

    Waiver search engine

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. I really appreciate it. @JDSimpson suppose you have a job in a different state that requires a waiver - you could find pilots closer by with the right credentials. @LUIS MARTINEZ glad to hear it worked well for you. Spread the word around if you think it's...

    Waiver search engine

    I have been working on a search app for nearby pilots with part 107 waivers. I just published it! It's up at waivers.foxrow.com. Would love to hear any feedback or if it's useful to you.

    Shaky video stabilization

    Thanks for the nice message. It does mitigate hand-held shake or bobbing. I find some of the strongest results come from fixing up hand-held video. Certainly may help on terrain that's impractical to use a dolly :)

    Shaky video stabilization

    There's really two ways to compensate for shakiness: stretching the image and zooming. Zoom can be in or out, that's where you end up with cropping or black bars. Drone Stable by default chooses a happy medium between stretching and zooming. The output videos are the same resolution as your...

    Panos

    Hugin is powerful. It's got a scripting interface for automating the process if you need to run batch jobs or process without human intervention.

    Shaky video stabilization

    This is a little different from the usual projects here. I work in image processing and computer vision software. I've been building an application to automatically stabilize video. Here's a before/after sample of the results. The shots are exaggerated to really make the results evident - it...

    Ground Station Pro

    There's one called OpenDroneMap, but it's designed more for software developers than DroneDeploy/pix4d/et al.

    Anyone have any experience with Open Drone Map

    I have used it some. My general impression was that it has quite a ways to go in the usability department. I'm a software engineer, I write applications like ODM and to interface with products like these. I'm happy to answer questions anyone might have.

    A lot of subforums

    Hi admins, First of all, thanks for running the site. It's a nice resource to have. I have a favor to ask. I think the user experience of the site could be improved by condensing some of the disparate topics. There are 9 sub-forums and 35 sub-sub forums. That's a lot to check if you want to...

    Software developer roll call

    Hello, just found out about this forum in an email from another of the *Pilots forums :) I'm a software developer. I work a lot with image processing, video, computer vision, etc. I fly occasionally as well. I'm happy to talk software or computers. Let me know!

    Real Estate Photography

    Hi there, just found out about this forum. Lots of nice videos and shots! I'm a software developer who works with drones. A little while ago I started a project for aerial video to smooth out that choppy flying or unsteady camerawork. It can give pretty dramatic results - I have a demo clip if...
