We’re building a brand-new automatic flight control, navigation, and image capture app for drone photogrammetry and we’re looking for pilots to beta test it. Here are five reasons you need to sign up literally right this minute.
Introduction
Hold on, let me get this straight… you need reasons to take your drone to the park on Sunday and use cutting-edge flight control software to generate 3D digital twins that you can then email to your friends, all while bragging that you are helping usher...

Terrain following is an important feature for drone flight planning software, but not all apps on the market support it. Pilots should understand how it works to maintain regulatory compliance and capture high-quality image sets.
Introduction
Flight planning, automation, and image capture apps are essential tools for professional drone mappers. They save time and battery life, reduce pilot workloads, and enhance image quality. But many options on the market are designed to automate flights...

A guide for selecting the drone photogrammetry price plan that works best for your business
Last September, Mapware introduced a Pay-As-You-Go pricing model in which customers could pay 2¢ per megapixel (MP) to process drone imagery in our photogrammetry engine. This was a great, no-strings-attached way for individual drone pilots, infrequent...

In the fusion step of the photogrammetry pipeline, Mapware merges all its depth maps together into a dense 3D point cloud and orients it in real-world space.
Photogrammetry pipeline so far
In the previous pipeline step, Mapware used spatial estimates from its sparse 3D point cloud along with metadata from each raw image to generate depth maps showing the elevation of each image pixel. This vastly increased the density of Mapware’s 3D data...
