When I need to map well buildings in a residential area I use in addition to satellite images the oblique low altitude aerial photos. Here are examples of such images, which I produced with the Phantom quad: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bout-du-Monde-aerial-7.jpg https://commons.m.wikim

Hi Andy, Actually it is doable. The TAM-5, 11-pound RC plane, flew 1,888 miles from Canada to Ireland over the Atlantic ocean in 38 hours still in 2003 [1]. The distance from Puerto Princesa City, Philippines, to this reef is only 265 miles. And the technology is much better now. A RC plane

Re: [OSM-talk] Mystery structure on a South China Sea reef

Come to think about it looks indeed as a small resort. There is no helipad, no pier to accept heavier armored boats. This case shows a limitation of satellite imagery. It is hard to tell by looking at the roofs from above what it is. But if in addition to the satellite imagery we had an obliqu

Re: [OSM-talk] An import in New Zealand, assistance requested

I would add - the objective problems. In the 20th century, when these legacy databases were created, there was no GPS, no satellite imagery as we know it. Officials had to actually walk and use manual tools to map properties what is certainly prone to human errors. Databases themselves were un

Hi Darafei, I did something similar with DJI Phantom and an open source stack, but it seems the Pix4d software does the orthorectification & stitching better. I will probably give it a try in future. Long time processing issue could be solved by faster hardware. A disadvantage of multi-rotor
