#dronemapping

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

A couple of years ago I was invited to a UiT (University of the Arctic in Tromsø) outreach day about coastal ecology. I did a practical session about drones and made this map!

How did I get unlicensed pilots to make a drone map in a no fly zone? They walked a flight pattern in teams, holding the drone up high - while a "pilot" directed them and pressed the shutter button! It was processed in time to show results at the end of the day :)

Drone mapping unlocks secrets of 3,000-year-old ‘mega fortress’ in the South Caucasus

A recent study using drone mapping has revealed that Dmanisis Gora, a 3,000-year-old mountainside fortress in the Caucasus Mountains, is far bigger than previously thought. The discoveries also prompted a reassessment of settlement dynamics during the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages.

Nordy Bank is a univallate hillfort on the flanks of Brown Clee Hill, the highest hill in Shropshire.
Here's a composite of some 540+ drone photos, mostly from a P4Pro, but some from a Mavic Pro, all stitched together using OpenDroneMap of the hillfort and it's environs.
OpenDroneMap handled the 2 sets of images from 2 different drones effortlessly!

#Photography has been a natural complement to the #fieldwork that I've performed over the years. It's afforded me opportunities to visit places like this canyon in northern #Iceland. The columnar basalt lining the canyon sidewalls are #geologist's dream!

This view was captured from my #drone during a trip in 2019. I had just finished performing fieldwork focused on #dronemapping several #periglacial and #glacial sites across the island and took the last week of the trip for some sightseeing!
