Hi all, Sorry for the double_emailing for those of you who are subscribed to crisis_mappers, but here's a thread which is of interest for us and surely a topic that deserved our attention. To be tied to Imagery, with perhaps a working group Imagery/Drone ? Best, Nico

To: crisismappers <crisismapp...@googlegroups.com> Cc: Patrick Meier <patr...@irevolution.net>, Frederic Moine < frmo...@gmail.com> Hi Andrew, Patrick and all, Thanks for intervening in this thread, all credits/ expertise on this UAV experiment got to Fred Moine who had been organizing as an individual (outside of the USAID>OTI>HRI_funded mapping project (CAP_103) HOT designed and implemented with local Haitian OSM Ggroups and Individuals (COSMHA, COSMHA-STM) in Norther Haiti working closely with HRI, and (for our great pleasur you and other from USAID, Chad, Shadrocks). I had not been possible to include the UAV component in the funded activities of the USAID>OTI>HRI funded_supported mapping projects CAP_103. HOT was not in a position at that time to operate UAV since the policy around this cutting_edge and new technique for high_res imagery collection was at its early edges and in the making; uncertainty linked to the liability of the organization (flying/ producs) being an area where the bases of knowledge was not mature/firm enough for engaging he Organization. Really, Frederic Moine, humble, low profile, hard_worker and tenacious (with CERN right now and is associated as a volunteeras, in France with CartONG <http://www.cartong.org>, a leading GIS/Mapping NGO in France, tenacious has been behind the use of UAV in Haiti mostly in coordination with IOM and for one mission (the Association Drone Adventures DA). Fred has worked in real conditions in the immediate aftermath of Trop Storm Sandy in Haiti/PAP ("Rivière Grise" area), he had also operated with DA and IOM and individuals from local OSM Groups in Haiti in North and Northern Haiti in Prepardness/Prevention activities. Mapping involving UAV is still on-going. The last pres from Fred, I can recall was at UNOSAT/JRC workshop in Geneva [workshop<http://www.unitar.org/amazing-technological-solutions-presented-unosat-partners-jrc-co-host-workshop-unmanned-aerial-syste>] where he presented his astonishing work. I let Fred adding to this thread. At Patrick, looking forward to reading your pieces once you will have digested all inputs, what form are you planning to use : blog posts, white papers and/or project documents. Also given the fact that this is really a new but necessary and promising area of work for Hum/Dev actors, it would be great if you can give us more details about what it is that you are after. It may also the occasion for practitioners involved in this forum to collectively list key_up_to_date resources, projects and goods/bads as well as dos/dont. Happy to read about your engagement in UAV Patrick as well as the answers you are getting wich seem the right level of interest for this technique which will soon be a classic_simple data collection tool within the tool box of IM/GIS folks of the Hum/Dev Best to all, Nico On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 3:49 PM, Andrew W <awise...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Patrick (and all) > > The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team used some imagery from a drone > provided by a new drone imagery company as part of a USAID/OTI project in > Northern Haiti, I think they might have flown it together with the company. > Fred Moine, Severin Menard or Jaakko Helleranta would probably be a good > contacts if you have their emails.
