Sold my DJI Mini 4 Pro and traded up (down?) for a DJI Air 2S. Pictures about the same or better. Video worse. But it's got that sweet sweet SDK support for 3rd party apps. :badabing:

Japan Airlines has kicked off an unmanned drone service to deliver goods and medical supplies in a remote part of Japan that’s prone to heavy rains and landslides. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/02/29/companies/jal-drone-service/ #business #companies #jal #airlines #drones #setouchi #okayama

I got what I think is a pretty fantastic orthographic photo of the park near my house. Mapping efforts seem to be paying off.

For scale that running track is a quarter mile track with a youth football (American, sorry) in the middle.

Little bit scary but trying to put myself out there.

Feedback is welcome.

Logo is forthcoming, creative people taking creative time to get that bit done.

If you know anyone in Eastern Iowa or Western Illinois who needs to see on top of tall things, or doesn't want to wait for the next google maps satellite image update, let them know about me. Please and thank you!

The Case For Remote Sensing Of Individual Plants

aerial images - High-resolution images from the Planet Labs constellation of cube-sats detect flowering individual trees in the Peruvian Amazon (yellow objects in panel A) and Colombian Amazon (pink objects in panel B). Many thousands of flowering individuals are apparent across hundreds of kilometers of Amazonian forest in these flowering events. Scale bar = 500 m.
aerial and oblique remotesensing-created images - Drone remote sensing of individual trees. (A) Ultra-high-density drone lidar resolves individual tree structure in a temperate beech forest in the southern Czech Republic. Colors indicate elevation, and the tallest trees are about 40 m aboveground. Measurement density here is 4323 points per square meter. (B) High-spatial resolution optical remote sensing from a low-altitude drone in the Atlantic lowlands of Costa Rica. We used methods from computer vision to construct three-dimensional scene geometry from two-dimensional images. The image is a natural color composite. (C) Same area as B, but colored by surface elevation, where warmer colors indicate taller objects. A single Goethalsia meiantha crown is outlined in white. The area of this crown is 157.3 m2. At a pixel size of 1 cm, this crown contains 1.573 × 106 pixels, demonstrating the tremendous increase in measurement density at high-spatial resolution. Scale bar in B and C = 30 m.

Adani JV Just Exported Lethal Drones to Israel, Same Model Being Used in Genocide-Tainted Gaza War

The role of an Indian conglomerate in supplying drones – which are being used by the IDF for attacks in densely populated urban areas in Gaza – appears to fly in the face of the Modi government’s official position seeking a quick resolution to the conflict.

@mlansbury@despora.de:> ## Turkish drone manufacturer #Baykar has begun construction of factory near Kyiv

#Bayraktar told Reuters at the sidelines of the World Defense Show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that the factory is already being built and will need one year to complete construction.

The plant aims to employ around 500 people, he said.

The factory's planned output is around 120 units per year, but it is unclear exactly which drone model will be produced.

When asked if security concerns had caused any hesitation, Bayraktar said the plans were were "fully moving ahead" and that "nothing" would stop them.

I'm going to roll with a "no dumb questions" policy as big a mistake as that may be on the open internet.

I have a DJI Mini 4 Pro. Is there some way to mark the start/end of a shot? Like a clap board sort of but for drones, in the sky?

I'd like to automate my video processing and so far most of that is just cutting out transit and setup time for the shot I want. Some way to mark the start and end of a shot that can be identified automatically would be incredible!

Tshisekedi Rules Out Talks with Rwanda as Democratic Republic of Congo Intensifies Drones Strikes on M23 Bases (chimpreports.com)

DRC President Felix Tshisekedi has said Congolese armed forces will continue fighting Rwanda-backed M23 rebels in eastern Congo until the mineral-rich country achieves victory. Tshisekedi, who was interacting with diplomats accredited to DRC on Tuesday, said “No dialogue will take place with our aggressor (Rwanda) as long as...

Is it requisite that if I pass my Part 107 drone license exam I'm required to try to monetize that by creating a Part 107 exam Prep video? /S :KEKW:

Probably just the effect of the algorithm but it feels like everybody has a test prep video.

Photo of a local church from last weekends drone session. The fairgrounds across the street in the upper half of the shot.

Is there an automated way to get orbits of oblong buildings or is the only option manual piloting?

I was marking the center top of the building but then the drone cuts off one end or the other. Couldn't go wider due to trees.

He said there were about 20k people living in and around the #hospital, one bathroom per 200 people (#riots break out over access), everyone has the "Gaza cough" and all of the hallways are filled with people lying on cots, sheets, or just the floor, amidst the constant noise of Israeli #drones and #bombing.
