  1. Thanks for having me out! Hopefully you enjoyed the presentation.

  2. Federal Regulatory Environment

  3. Federal Regulatory Environment Top 5 Things – FAR Part 101 • Applies to Hobbyist Operation Of sUAS “Drones”. • Took effect in 2012 as part of Public Law 112-95, Part 336. • There will not be a test. • There are limits: 400’ high and line of site, 5 miles from airport. • As of December 2015 required registration with FAA.

  4. Federal Regulatory Environment Top 5 Things – FAR Part 107 • Applies to Commercial Operations and other hobbyist activities that are not covered in Part 101. • Effective August 29. • There will be test. • There are limits: 400’ high and line of site • FAA Certification will be: • Unmanned Aircraft Certification with sUAS Rating.

  5. Texas Regulatory Environment Top 4 Things – HB 912 “The Drone Act” • Went into effect September 1st of 2013. • It is all about privacy. • It is lawful to capture images from unmanned aircraft. • It is unlawful if there is “intent to conduct surveillance”

  6. Austin Regulatory Environment Top 3 Things – Austin Drone Enforcement • Went into effect April 16, 2015 • It is all about Safety. • It is unlawful to fly over people. • Will likely be modified with FAA Part 107 and Part 101.

  7. What Are Drones Up To

  8. Motion Picture and TelevisionDrone Video CaptureLe Mans at Circuit Of The Americas

  9. Versatile and Portable DJI Inspire 2With X5S Camera

  10. Can Be Transported As Luggage Under 50lbs Total

  11. Spherical Panoramas Proprietary: Camera Wings “PanoPro”

  12. Can Be Transported As Luggage Under 50lbs TotalWith Two Drones In Case

  13. Why the resurgence of photogrammetry?Lower and slower flight results in higher resolution and Drones can operate at lower cost. • Small Fixed Wing Drones: • Small Multirotor Drones:

  14. Small Drones Fixed Wing Aircraft

  15. Small Multi-Rotor Drones Vertical Take Off And Landing

  16. Why did Camera Wings choose to work with quadcopter drones? • Fixed wing drones require a strong toss or require a catapult for take off. • Each landing of a fixed wing drone is a crash landing into the environment you are working in.

  17. Why use Multi-rotor drones? • Fly slower • Multi-rotor drones fly lower • Multi-rotor drones have space • Multi-rotor drones fly an efficient flight

  18. Let’s compare the flight grid of fixed wing vs multi-rotor drones.

  19. Long Flight and Durable Proprietary: Camera Wings “Godwit”Up To One Hour With Variety Of Sensors

  20. Information needed to prepare for drone photogrammetry flight • Data needed: • Client requested GSD (ground spacing of pixel centers) • Focal length of camera • Size of the camera’s sensor • Flying height • Size of area to be photographed • Overlap • Side lap • Write time to save each image • Ground speed of aircraft

  21. Steps for completion of a Photogrammetry Project • Obtain suitable images. • Write logger data to images EXIF file. • Ortho rectify images – correcting aberrations caused by lens and camera imperfections. • Stitch images – using high speed computers to fingerprint the images combined with data from the aircrafts logger to stitch the initial mosaic. Then individual DEM points are calculated using stereographic triangulation algorithms based on the relative location of each image to the ground. • Enhancing GIS accuracy – orientation and placement can be enhanced by tying accurately surveyed ground control points to locations within the images. • Delivering the product – once all steps are completed the software can deliver DEMs which can be used in industry standard GIS software such as Arc-GIS and Global Mapper. In addition ortho photos can be created in Geo TIFFs and Google Earth formats. As an added benefit, beautiful extreme resolution photos can be delivered.

  22. Readily Available and Cost Effective DJI Phantom 4 Pro

  23. Lets Take A Look At The Handouts Then Design A Photogrammetry Mission And Fly It.

  24. Thank You At Camera Wings we will always deliver everything promised and a little bit more than you ever expected.
