SurVoyeur
A DIY Drone created in Namibia for land surveying, put together by Gisela & Joe Noci who have been working in the area for solutions to wildlife conservation and other local needs. Via DIY Drones:
This aircraft is a sub 4.5kg electric, able to carry up to 600grams payloads for up to 45minutes. It is also a fully autonomous system, with full autolaunch and autoland in harsh terrain. It has been extensively flown here in Namibia, mostly on land surveying missions, photographing up to 150hectare in one flight. We have fitted it with a Samsung 20Mpixel camera, giving us down to 2cm ground resolution on the resulting georeferenced ortho-images.
