2022 is clearly the year of LiDAR. At all of the UAS shows in the USA, Mexico, Canada, and EU, the hot topic is LiDAR in 2022, and 2023 is ramping up to be more of the same, with significant growth. LiDAR is a “LIght Detection And […]
Whether flying for the jobsite or flying for fun and family enjoyment, safety is always paramount with UAS (drones). There are the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, also known as the FARs, and then there are the “Common-Sense” operational actions that all pilots, regardless of why the […]
THREE MONTHS FREE PROCESSING! Purchase a Microdrones MD1000HR between today and May 27, 2022, and save nearly $4000.00 in processing costs. When a Microdrones MD1000HR is purchased, customers typically purchase one year of limited access data processing. However, for this limited time, KR and Microdrones are offering […]
SAVE TIME, GENERATE GREATER REVENUE WITH AERIAL TECHNOLOGY Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) corrections bring significant precision to unmanned aircraft and workflows, even to the point of achieving repeatable precision within 1cm of actual position in a localized dataset. Adding RTK to an unmanned aircraft enables real-time correctional data […]
Commercial UAV Expo effervesces in LiDAR and Face to Face gathering DR. A. STEWART WALKER 09.22.2021 Diversified Communications is the very model of a modern conference company, but even its most experienced managers must have harbored slivers of doubt as they prepared the Commercial UAV Expo Americas, […]
LUTS, Log, 10Bit: Geeking Out on Camera Formats for Drones It takes more than just a Part 107 to be a good drone service provider: customers require expertise in production, too. If you’re confused about camera formats for drones and some of the newest options on the […]
We have to roughly quadruplemegapixels to doubleresolution, so the jump from SD to HD makes sense, while the jump from HD to UHD/4K makes even more sense. Following that theme, jumping to 6K makes sense, while jumping to 8K is perfect theory, and nears the maximum of the human eye’s ability to resolve information.
Experts Tested 4 Different Drone Mapping Solutions for Crime Scene Investigation. Here’s What Happened. At Commercial UAV Expo in Las Vegas, more than 300 drone industry professionals watched as experts tested four different drone mapping solutions for crime scene investigation at night. Guest post by Douglas Spotted Eagle, […]
Unmanned Aircraft (UA/Drones) have rapidly become a significant component of the modern construction industry workflow whether it’s for progress reporting, site planning, BIM, inventory control, safety awareness, structure inspection, topo’s, or other purposes. Site supervisors, architects, and stakeholders all benefit from the rapid output of accurate 2D/Ortho, or 3D models that may be used for purposes ranging from simple visualizations, progress reporting, stockpile calculations, DSM, contours, to more complex overlaying blue-prints in the As-Designed/As-Built or BIM process.
All these FARs, what’s a drone pilot to do in order to understand them? Do they matter? YES! In virtually every aviation pursuit except for sUAS, an understanding of regulations is requisite and part of most testing mechanisms. As a result, many sUAS pilots holding a Remote […]
Drones and unmanned aircraft in AEC scanning and construction Six ways drones have proven themselves as a tool for the AEC, Surveying, and mapping industries Drones and unmanned aircraft in AEC scanning and construction process are becoming more common. Unmanned aircraft, or drones are becoming much more […]
