Re: [OSM-talk] Mapping Klong Toey Slums

Hello Mishari, I use DJI Phantom 3 Advanced [1]. There is already Phantom 4 which has got slightly better camera, but a bit shorter flight range. Phantom has got intelligent flight modes, from which I use the Point of Interest. In this mode aircraft flies automatically around an object, and

Re: [OSM-talk] Mapping Klong Toey Slums

Hello, I'm just trying to track down a drone provider but I'm not sure if anyone here has ideas of the kind of specifications I should be asking for. I assume that it should have a GPS enabled camera and some sort of path following feature. Anything else? Thank you everybody for your input so

Re: [OSM-talk] Mapping Klong Toey Slums

Power poles, wires, wind, trees are usual dangers for multirotor aircraft too. There is also an issue of a large bird attack. These risks could be mitigated via sport flying. I usually train sport flying at a stadium very early in the morning when there no people there. I have got a small

Re: [OSM-talk] Mapping Klong Toey Slums

Yes, ballons and kites is a good community-engaged method; in my particular case we face problems with the public-lab-ballon-kit because irregular power poles/wires at a low height, plus some wind present during the activity, so it wasn't possible (and a little insecure). Regarding stiching it

Re: [OSM-talk] Mapping Klong Toey Slums

Dear Mishari, If you are interested in the subject of slums, you may read and view videos about the work of Prof. Alfredo Brillembourg: http://www.designboom.com/architecture/interview-alfredo-brillembourg-of-urban-think-tank-06-12-2014/ This man is part of the Urban-Think Tank (U-TT). This

Re: [OSM-talk] Mapping Klong Toey Slums

Dear Mishari, If you plan borrowing a drone for filming in an urban area, I would advise to obtain first a small trainer quad-copter and fly it extensively in an open remote area to develop some flying experience and piloting instincts. Most of crashes are caused by an avoidable pilot error,

Re: [OSM-talk] Mapping Klong Toey Slums

Hi everyone, It is inspiring to hear of these projects in Bangkok and Cartagena! <3 Depending on the wind and when the rainy season is about to start in Bangkok, putting a kite up in the air with a small camera could be the fastest and most community-engaged / hands-on / accessible / repeatable

Re: [OSM-talk] Mapping Klong Toey Slums

Hi Mishari, I can share from the experience to mapping slums in Cartagena, Colombia with a Latinamerican NGO called TECHO (is not an acronym), plus the last steps that you list (a, b, c) we started mapping the past using Bing imagery (normally have imagery date); then a small aerial filming

Re: [OSM-talk] Mapping Klong Toey Slums

Hi Mishari, This is efffectively a good challenge to map such area.  With the dense housing, remote mappers cannot interpret the imagery and spot either klones or paths.  From local knowledge, The first step would be to trace as much info as possible from the imagery :- big buildins- parks-
