Microsoft Image Composite Editor (ICE)

Image
The following tutorial covers the use of Microsoft Research's Image Composite Editor or ICE for drone mapping. Background Our initial goal was to use Open Drone Map (ODM) a FOSS4G application to create orthophotos from the autonomous drone images using DroneDeploy. At our training workshop we discovered that only three PC Workstations were able to install ODM. The remaining systems did not have enough computing capacity to process orthophotos. As a result an alternative was needed and we decided that MS ICE (free application) is a viable alternative for the majority there.

ICE uses blending technology to stitch the phot

DJI Phantom 3 - Flight Logs

Image
The DJI Phantom 3 stores flight logs in the drone itself with a .DAT extension and in your phone or table with a .txt extension (using DJI Go). These are log files of your flight history and can be converted into ASCII .csv files with DJI's 3rd party SDK apps if you are a programmer. Some useful reference sites include: http://www.nvdrones.com/ https://blog.nvdrones.com/how-to-view-dji-flight-logs-in-4-easy-steps-2e5c6521c6a7#.iyqmuewf7 http://www.phantompilots.com/threads/new-version-of-dat-converter.60155/ Java based application to process .DAT files: https://datfile.net/index.html In addition there are 3rd party developers who provide cloud based solutions for you to convert the data into a more readable text format.
