I took a few photos of a local abandoned water park. Somehow the local news got hold of them and wrote a few stories about the waterpark, multirotors, and me. Kinda cool!

I've been working on mapping projects with my Aeronavics XM-6 hexacopter which is controlled with a Pixhawk and Arducopter. The Mission Planner Ground Control Software is quite nice for setting up autonomous flights for this kind of work. This map consists of 213 photos taken with a Sony NEX 6 from an altitude of 80 meters. The resolution is close to 2cm/pixel. The flight took 15 mins which is close to my max flight time of 18 mins on that copter using two 5000MaH batteries.

The goal was to identify noxious weed growth (quite noticeable because they are flowering yellow). I used this project to test both the DroneDeploy mapping service, which is in beta so they offer free processing, and also the MapsMadeEasy service which I'm really impressed with. I also shot a smaller section with the DJI Inspire 1 as a comparison which worked out well. It's actually sharper and the stitching seems a bit better as well.

Orthomosaic map from MapsMadeEasy here. The 3D model they generated is interesting. By comparison here is a subset of the mission flown with the Inspire 1 and the corresponding 3D model.

All in all I'm happy with the results. I also had a Sony in a FPV Ranger plane which I'm learning to fly but had a nasty crash which destroyed both the plane and camera so I've been a bit delayed with that project. I'm adding the plane to my fleet so I can map larger areas.
