UAV [aka ‘Drone’] Surveying At The UK’s Ordnance Survey [podcast]

https://thegeomob.com/podcast/episode-234 <-- GeoMob podcast link

https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/blog/how-surveying-is-taking-off-at-ordnance-survey <-- blog post on OS UAV use

H/T Doug Newcomb
[A general focus but very interesting and informative]
“James Morrison, head pilot and UAS ("Unmanned Aircraft System") lead at Ordnance Survey, discusses the use of drones in mapping and surveying. He shares examples of how drones were used to quickly assess landslips and update mapping in the Isle of Wight, as well as capture data for residential housing developments. James explains the different types of drones used by Ordnance Survey and their capabilities, including capturing imagery with centimeter-level accuracy…”

photo - OS used a fixed-wing drone to fly over the coal pile on an automated flight route. A series of images were taken with the drone at precise locations across the coal which were then fed into software that ‘stitched’ them into a 3D ‘digital twin’ of the coal pile, using a process called photogrammetry.

ai6yr,

Nice, synthetic aperture radar satellite imaging used for this study! Looks like they're using ICEYE.

My boss is very relaxed and as a result, my job is relaxed. He got promoted and we just hired a new manager to take his place and the new one is obviously eager to please management.

I fear the good days may be over.
Anyone hiring a GIS Analyst / Developer?

I don’t know Joe, but I came across Joe’s work in my role as a geologist (the world topobathy image), and I was impressed so I sought out more; I think you will be impressed as well… [not considered a specific endorsement though, just my personal opinion, you know the drill]…

How Accurate Are Existing Land Cover Maps For Agriculture In Sub-Saharan Africa? [metrics]

Map showing the number of maps that predict cropland in each 10 m/pixel location. Panel A shows the maps in the context of the African continent while Panel B gives larger views of the maps (countries not to scale). Blue and red indicate regions of high or unanimous agreement between maps for the crop and non-crop classes, respectively. Yellow indicates regions of high disagreement between maps.
charts - Time series of 16-day MODIS MOD13A1.061 Terra Vegetation Indices averaged within (A) each country and (B) an administrative level 1 region, masked using each crop mask assessed in this study.

Habe ich hier eine GIS- oder Geocaching-Bubble? Ich suche eine Möglichkeit um festzustellen, ob ich mich innerhalb eines bestimmten Flurstücks befinde. In erster Näherung kann ich das direkt in der TIM-Online Webapp machen, aber lieber wäre etwas wie "Koordinaten in Kartenapp importieren und Geofencing um den Bereich".

So what hardware are folks using for Servers at small orgs? Presumably to run Enterprise and a PostGIS server?

We're pricing out cloud services and an on-premesis server is going to be a lot cheaper in the short and long run.

Really chuffed that I'm starting to get some people donating to me via https://www.buymeacoffee.com/rtwilson as a thank you for geospatial things I've created like the FreeGISData site (https://freegisdata.rtwilson.com/), British Placename Mapper (https://placenames.rtwilson.com/) and my blog (https://blog.rtwilson.com/). It's a relatively small amount of money but it puts a big smile on my face :)
