Club Las Águilas
Mapping with a drone: Club Aeromodelismo Las Águila
In April 2015, I did a mapping test with my drone DJI Phantom 2 Vision+.
The test site was at the "Club Las Águilas", a flying field for RC model gliders in the outskirts of Caracas, 1 km south of the University "Simón Bolivar".
I did a flight using the smartphone application provided by Pix4D. I selected the options to acquire pictures over a square of 100 by 100 meters at an altitude of 50 meters over the ground. A total of 33 pictures were acquired during the flight.
I processed the images using the software Agisoft PhotoScan and I obtained a 3D model of the area.
I could also generate a DEM (Digital Elevation Model) of the area and load it in ArcGis, displaying contour levels every 10 meters over it.
Finally, I generated a georeferenced image of the area that can be displayed in GoogleEarth.
