The image quality on this drone while good for its intended purpose of inspection and mapping, will not be on par with something like a Mavic 4 Pro and the camera has limited options compared to the Mavic 4 Pro. You cannot change the aspect ratio. You cannot change to DNG. To delete the drawn...

Others have posted about this. I will see if I can change to the larger 48MP images, but I don't think it is possible. I do know that the Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced does use the larger image size for mapping. But the image sizes slow down the processing by a large factor and in previous tests...

Dave, the Agisoft outputs will have multiple chunks as I play around with each dataset. I will most likely know what the M4T outcome will be before the test. While the test will need a lot of time to setup the control points, I will most likely have time this week to have the M4T fly and map...

Welcome and congratulations on your new aircraft. The Matrice 4T is a powerful Enterprise drone that performs like a much more expensive drone. You might want to start by fully reading both the User Manual and Maintenance Manual so that you can know about all of its features and know how to...

Update. I have received the drone. Wow, what a great thermal solution. The thermal image, while being the same resolution as my Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced, definitely has software enhancement and possibly is an upgraded sensor, especially with the Ultra/Super Resolution enabled. We are still...

Mflyer, on this test I may not get a chance with multiple speeds on the 4T, but you can be certain that I will be testing the 4T in mapping and modeling constantly, so I will have this information in the near future. I chose 15 mph since it should help the 4T with Rolling Shutter distortion. I...

I plan on the following for my test. The drone should be here on Wednesday and hopefully within a week I can find time to do a test. Drones in test. Matrice 4E Matrice 4T Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced Mavic 3E Phantom 4 RTK All drones will receive corrections from my RTK subscription service...

No, I have not tried any automated mission at night. I am interested in others' answers though. DJI states that the vision positioning and obstacle avoidance need at least urban type lighting (street lights). Would turning off obstacle avoidance help in this situation? I know for safety it...

I just purchased a Matrice 4T. Is was a very hard decision between the dock version and the normal 4T. It has not shipped yet, but hopefully soon. I will have a mapping competition between the Matrice 4E, Matrice 4T and the Phantom 4 RTK and post the results. All drones will be receiving...

You can run this with Smart Oblique, nadir with altitude optimization (1 flight line of oblique from outside to center) or even with double grid oblique. If you run double grid oblique you do not need the overlap listed since oblique images contain so much more of the scene in each image. I run...

http://rtk2go.com/how-to-connect/ On your controller go to the RTK menu, choose the 3 dots top right, then choose the RTK menu. (It either says RTK or has a satellite symbol. Choose the Custom NTRIP choice. Turn on RTK. Follow the directions above. Before you log in, find a mount point close...

I have changed my opinion on the M4T. I called one of my vendors and he stated that Time Sync is indeed running and the drone should produce low cm accurate data, and that error would come from rolling shutter effect. Your testing is pointing in this direction. I wish I was near you, I would...

I want you guys to prove this. Here is my persepctive on his results. The limited data he gave showed that there was indeed a very nice alignment. If the source data is absolute accurate data and his data lined up well, it is looking good. The chance that the source data is not accurate and...

On the Pix4D quality report you are showing, that is the Geolocation section. Read the bottom of the page. "Note that the image geolocation errors do not correspond to the accuracy of the observed 3D points." You need to have check points to assess absolute accuracy. Your overlays show...

To see your real error for absolute accuracy, you need to add control points used as check points. The above quality report is not able to properly assess absolute accuracy since the only data it has for absolute positioning is from the drone images which were used for processing. Alls it is...
