Hydrographic survey is essential and widely welcomed in the world for economy, security and society purposes. However, how to survey in a safer and faster way is always the question to the modern world. USV, short for Unmanned Surface Vehicle, is a revolutionary platform that can carry all kinds of sensor for hydrographic survey. In this paper, two specified application of USV are shared and discu…
What’s the single most important factor to help facilitate a successful fixed-wing UAV flight? It’s a question we get a lot from UAV (drone) operators across the world. And while it would be great to point to just one thing you could do to ensure every flight is a success, the reality is that there are many factors that contribute to a successful flight.
Atmos UAV, the Delft-based drone manufacturer for mapping and surveying, continues to expand its payload options now including the new MicaSense sensor, “Altum”. Altum integrates a radiometric thermal camera with five high-resolution narrow bands, producing thermal, multispectral and high-resolution imagery in one flight for advanced analytics.
With the boom in the use of consumer-grade cameras on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for surveying and photogrammetric applications, this article seeks to review a range of different cameras and their critical attributes. Firstly, it establishes the most important considerations when selecting a camera for surveying. Secondly, the authors make a number of recommendations at various price points.…
