Hello all.

I would like to know if theres a chance in the future that the Inspire One could Land Surveiyng to make a professional use much more easy?

Imagine if You could mesure a given area distance, topography meter to meter, land inclination  and this data could be printable? I mean, no more poles, no more theodolite .

Theres a chance DJI?

I bought my father (a semi-retired land surveyor) a phantom 2 vision plus a little while ago, and he has been using it with a photogrammetry PC application (not sure which, but it's Russian, and takes gps-tagged photos for input).  It is about to create 3d shape with color overlaid, with reasonable accuracy for entertainment or other sub-decimeter purposes.  His tests gave somewhere around +/-5 cm, but apparently he thinks that under ideal conditions it can be +/-2 cm.  I'm not sure if the 4k camera of the inspire will make significant improvements, or if the error in the quality of the GPS signal will be the limiting factor.  Apparently the PC processing time for this is quite significant.

In think this type of external application is where you'll get your most likely solutions. I imagine that you can pull out all your needed topo  and structural information.

The current catch as the inspire doesn't yet have the ability to fly by waypoint, not to automatically take photos every x seconds/x metres. This is promised, it seems, but it seems they're spending time fixing the critical stuff before moving on to the extra features.

Also, their early promotional material advertised an API for the inspire that would allow developers to do more complicated manipulation is the inspire.  I imagine that this is similarly a fair wait away.

Hi bd, thanks for the explanation. Would be great such kind of feature in the Inspire One. Actually theres some UAVs that do the job already but since we bought the Inspire why not explore at it limits?

Aloha bujao10,
The inspire 1 works great for photogrammetry.  The ground station functionality hasn't been released yet by DJI nor has the SDK.  So I think those items are holding up the automation of the process.  Pix4D does have a handy excel spreadsheet that will calculate the proper altitude for desired GSD

They also offer a lot of information via their support site

Very easy to use software that produces amazing results.  You can download a free trial version of the software here:  https://pix4d.com/download/

Hi,  KlauGeomatics has announced a new PPK GPS technology for accurate aerial surveying using DJI drones without placing ground targets. See https://www.veritypositioning.com/ for more details.

FFS dude - dragging a dead thread back to life from April 2015 is not going to get you any sales..
