Aloha,
I've used the OSMO with X3 camera and it worked for mapping projects, but found that it required a high number of images to "cover" the area (need 70-80% overlap between images). I've since been more focused on using the Ricoh Theta S 360 spherical camera rather than the OSMO. Since it captures 360 degrees in each photo, it takes much fewer photos to get a good 3D model. I was also impressed with the results of just using the Ipad Mini I use to control my DJI drone & OSMO. The iPad geotags the images (best to use an iPad that has Wireless data because they actually have a GPS receiver chip, while the WiFi only version lacks a GPS receiver and calculates geotag data based off of Wifi hotspots and isn't nearly as accurate).
For exterior Oblique images, I'd suggest you give your iPad (or android device) a shot. The Theta will capture alot of sky and backround data that isn't of interest and really works best for Interior mapping where you want floor & Ceiling info). Keep in mind that when using Structure from Motion type approaches to mapping you will need to keep as consistent of offset from the subject being mapped so that the software can find keypoints between data sets. If you fly your UAV at 30m, your oblique ground shots should be no closer than 15m (half your drone height) for the software to find keypoints between sensors (ipad & drone).
Practice makes perfect. I have just gotten some new info on how use ESRI Full Motion Video extension with the Inspire 1 Video footage. I'm still working out the workflow to convert the flight log data into MISB compliant metadata, but am very close.... |
