    Best Practice To Create 3D Model Using Orbit Missions of Tall Structures with No Fly Exclusion Zone

    Examples of my problems. Noisy point cloud Thinned out tiled model. Missing large amounts of the thinner items such as ladders.

    Best Practice To Create 3D Model Using Orbit Missions of Tall Structures with No Fly Exclusion Zone

    Is this structure a tower? And if so is it an open, lattice tower? If so, these towers are extremely hard to model correctly. I just did on and was very close (Within 6 meters) and it came out with a tremendous amount of noise. I used Agisoft to create a custom flight plan, but also tried Pilot...

    First flights with the AVSS PRS system making a Matrice 4E a Category 2 sUAS.

    Contact DJI. Both my AL1 light and ALS speaker activated on their own when first connected. I now have several flights with the AVSS PRS and it works as advertised. My biggest concern was with a false deployment and the associated issues it could cause. So far, so good. Some interesting facts...

    New Autel Evo 3 coming soon, at least to the parts of the world other than the US if they don't get the FCC license soon.

    The Autel Evo 3 series is coming. No reports of it getting an FCC license before the 2025 NDAA "ban". It looks so much like a Matrice 4 series that maybe we should add a new section in the Matrice Pilots sister forum. https://www.autelpilot.com/blogs/news/autel-evo-iii-series-coming-soon On a...

    The new L3 will work with the M300, M350 and M400!

    I was told this by a vendor. You are right. That is not good news for us since we are not getting a 400.

    Smart 3D model misalignement

    If I am understanding your problem, you need RTK. Without the RTK on, using the normal GNSS is only accurate as measured in feet or meters. Your drone's positioning will be off measured in feet.

    Matrice 4E digital zoom stuck at 1.01 or 1.12

    On Agisoft I think your biggest issue if using one of the zoom cameras will be not having the correct overlap. Try to increase overlap. Also as you mentiuoned keep the zoom at the same exact level. You can try PPK also. After your flight download the RINEX logs from your image folder and then...

    Matrice 4E digital zoom stuck at 1.01 or 1.12

    I replied, but after visiting Agisoft I was incorrect. Also my other reply has a link in it to Agisoft and is waiting for a moderator to approve it. But i posted below my response on RTK. On your alignment issue: You can process the different cameras together in one chunk in Agisoft. What...

    Matrice 4E digital zoom stuck at 1.01 or 1.12

    Here is a link to Agisoft forum. You can have different zoom levels/focal lengths in the same chunk. I always thought you could not. https://www.agisoft.com/forum/index.php?topic=16983.0 You will have to make sure your overlap is ok since the different zoom levels may make the automated flights...

    Matrice 4T radiometric thermal camera ?

    Oh and one more thing, DJI has its own tool for doing some basic radiometric analysis, DJI Thermal Analysis Tool. If you need sample images, they can be found here in this zip folder, in the dataset folder: DJI Thermal SDK - Download Center - DJI United States

    Matrice 4T radiometric thermal camera ?

    Yes, the Matrice 4T thermal camera is radiometric. Keep in mind though, the DJI spec RJPEGs it produces cannot be used in FLIR Tools or FLIR Studio. Also the DJI spec RJPEGs cannot be used in Agisoft or Pix4D for a radiometric orthomap unless they are converted to TIFF. Drone Deploy though...

    Making the move from Yuneec to DJI

    Welcome! The 4DT is a solid choice. For your accuracy needs, the 4DT will suffice. Like you mentioned, it does not have the mechanical shutter or the better Micro 4/3 sensor for mapping. But it can still map like any drone with GPS tagged images. You will not need GCPs if you only need...

    Eurobodalla Koala Project

    Very good news! What did you end up doing as far as mission type? Mapping grid or Patrol route? When you do finally spot some Koalas, if able, share a thermal picture please.

    I used a Matrice 400 to act as an aerial relay to fly my Matrice 4T extremely low and far !! You won't believe what an aerial relay is capable of.

    Great information!! We have a dedicated drone training day coming up. We will test the relay function with a 4E and 4T.

    I used a Matrice 400 to act as an aerial relay to fly my Matrice 4T extremely low and far !! You won't believe what an aerial relay is capable of.

    For a waiver, there is none. This would be an FCC issue, not FAA. The FCC did not explicitly ban the DJI 4G dongles, DJI just did not introduce them to the US, most likely due to the controversy that DJI has at this time. You used to be able to add the DJI Dongle to the controller for the M30...
