Re: [Talk-GB] Use of Drones
The main issue that makes using UAVs of any sort difficult in Europe is the wide variety in regulation (ranging from de facto outlawing non Government use outside of playing to fairly reasonable), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is undertaking an effort to produce harmonized rules https://www.easa.europa.eu/newsroom-and-events/press-releases/easa-publishes-proposal-operate-small-drones-europe that might help a bit as essentially all European states tend to adopt them. Naturally in the end it depends on how much the states are allowed to determine on their own (in particular exclusion zones) so I wouldn't get hopes too high. Simon PS: while fixed wing UAVs would in principle be better suited, from a pure practical and bang for the buck pov I doubt that the current hi-endish consumer grade quadcopters can be bested for what you would typically want to do for OSM. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Yes Paul has a eBee senseFly - https://www.sensefly.com/drones/ebee.html Because it's a "winged" craft then with the right permissions it is possible to fly over populated areas. So can get aerial footage for relatively low cost, but is a more expensive investment than some of the very low cost drones that seem to be more targeted towards filming. It's also ideal for imagery as it will fly a preset route capturing the required stills to cover the area needed, and then lands.` Cheers Chris > >On 18 September 2017 12:14:01 BST, Marc Gemis >wrote: > > Oleksiy Muzalyev seems to be pretty knowledgable on drones.

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. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] Use of Drones
Drones are used extensively by wildlife charities. Examples I'm aware of include: - 8 cm imagery of individual nature reserves. - Pointclouds of imagery & photogrammetric data of cliffs for vegetation surveys. I would think in a couple of years most larger nature reserves will have been imaged in this way (not least because OSGB does updates on rather a long cycle for such places). Ed Loach has been in touch with a company which flies drone imagery for new solar farm installations. Whether drone imagery will be at all widely collected in urban areas is a different thing. I would imagine it might be more productive trying to get local authorities to make imagery available. The UK is well-behind the curve on this compared to other European countries.

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.

Re: [Talk-GB] Use of Drones
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
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. regards m.
