In December 28 2018, our UAV aerial view photograph deployment initiated. There were two sets of deployments conducted. Full manual control of UAV was required due to the site condition that inflicted constraints. These deployments covered the front part of the house to provide information cater for 16 TBR Phase Two Remodeling work purposes.

​

The purpose of this deployment is to investigate the possibility of aerial view photographs (may require some hand-held equipment) as primary data source to feed the algorithm to provide us some useful measurements without measuring it on site. Accuracy would be another topic but not covered in this investigation. We have yet to fully understand the best technique to capture photos with sufficient details for the algorithm to generate a decent model. At his moment, YTA has successfully generated decent dense cloud (post sparse point) model. However, we still find there is always room for improvement.

​

​The Deployment:

This deployment involves in measuring existing building and the site. 

​

As usual, the UAV takes off and reaches the desired height to carry out a series of aerial photographs recording. The only difference of this deployment is there is no flight mode involved such as Point of Interest (POI).

​

​The deployment is initiated on December 28, 2018. The task was to record the front open space of the house with photogrammetry method. As earlier mentioned, this deployment did not apply any flight mode as it requires information on the front open space of the house. Therefore, camera shot with full 360 degrees around the building is not required.​

​

The deployment took approximate 30 minutes and 170 aerial photographs were taken in total.
