UAV maping biggest copper mine in Asia in Mongolia during extremely weather condition and in difficult terrain. Music: Matia Cupelli Video by UpVision 2018
It depends mainly on image resolution/flight height and on overlaps between images. We did more flights in different image resolution. We did 2 flights in one version and 6 flights in second version to cover whole the mine. But it was very difficult to do perfect flight plans and also wait for good weather conditions, because there were strong wind, hight temperatures and snowing also.
Thanks! I am trying to get a better picture of how people actually use drones / UAVs professionally. My friend develops a "TransWing" drone -- it is like an airplane that transforms into a quad for landing. So I am trying to figure out if there are cases where it can be useful, or where it can work better than traditional UAVs or even tilt-rotor VTOL planes. It is not so obvious.
That place is huge! How many flights did it take to cover it?
