I once used a drone to map an inaccessible island in the Humber. The 
drone's camera can be pointed directly downwards, so I flew it around 
the island, keeping the high water mark in the centre of the frame. I 
then used the stored GPS track to update the map.

FYI there seems to be plenty of work on those in the HOT domain - I
remember Ivan from MSF demoing his quadcopter rig in London. However I
presume they're deploying them overseas.

There was a talk by 'the only licensed drone pilot in Scotland'  at SOTM 
Scotland a couple of years ago.

I missed the outdoor demo as I went to the NLS map library.

Re: [Talk-GB] Use of Drones

[Marc Gemis]

Oleksiy Muzalyev seems to be pretty knowledgable on drones. He has
posted about it a couple of times on the talk mailing list.
e.g. https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2016-September/076758.html

But he's not living in the UK.

[Talk-GB] Use of Drones

[Brian Prangle]

The regulations on the use of drones in the UK are already quite
restrictive (if, of course, you're a  responsible memeber of society) and
are imminently to become even more restrictive with licensing and proof of
competence becoming requirements. I'm pessimistic about being able to make
use of drones to capture imagery. Does anyone have any experience of using
drones?
