Want to Create Maps Using Drones?
After a long flight with a stopover in Abu Dhabi, I land in the capitol late at night. Once in the hotel, I bump into one of my team members at Pix4D, Krista Montgomery (public relations manager). Our teamwork, along with DJI’s, will support Patrick Meier and his efforts to create a drone lab at Kathmandu University. After a long chat with Krista about expectations and ideas, I see the some of the DJI team arrive. The film crew, along with the photography director Paul Moore, are all there. After the official introductions, I head to my room to catch some rest and write up some ideas in a notebook. The concept of mapping using drones has fascinated me since I became aware of it. For the last few months, I have been working on my new book So You Want to Create Maps Using Drones? A Photogrammetry Field Guide for Photographers, Researches and Conservationists.” In the process of writing it, I have gathered together knowledge of how the mapping is done, allowing me to envision a global understanding of the possibilities in this field. Being here on the ground is a perfect complement to these theoretical studies and self-assigned mapping projects. -
