Anyone using their Anafi for mapping?

[Kdavis2269]

I'm curious if anyone is using their Anafi for mapping. I found the below link but I don't own an Anafi yet and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with it.

I am also interested in this aspect... 3d modelling of structures inside and out. Anyone doing this? I see that the Anafi Work bundle comes with a 1 year subscription to software to do it...

There are some people having success with 3D modeling.
All these were done with the Anafi and posted on the Anafi facebook page.

Thanks!

I am using the Anafi on the building site with the Agisoft now. I think it is good for smaller objects also.

I do mapping as commercial pilot : conservation of historic monuments, rehabilitation of ancient dwellings, follow-up of modern constructions... I also have a Yunnec H520 but finally just use and prefer Anafi to do so. Very easy to use and quite good results and accuraccy (with or without GCPs).
The 2 first images from PIX4D Mapper (point cloud) and the last one from Agisoft Metashape (mesh and texture).

Have also a look at thisThread

Thanks guys... Going out to buy my Anafi right now.

The bundle you talk about (Anafi Works) is a good option for 3D models only.
Bundle that I missed because I bought the Anafi before it was released... In this condition, Pix4DModel is almost free for a year ?.

Why do you say 3D models only. Can't it also be used to produce orthophoto?

 

[big_bud]

Pix4D makes beautiful ortho photos also. Not sure if it is necessary but we took photos with the camera straight down and lots of overlap. Extend your photo coverage well outside your area of interest to avoid any distortion along the edges. Pix4D isn't cheap but it is excellent.

Cheers,

Anafi's really good for mapping

@Miningnew What did you use to create that, look pretty good..... Not that I am into mapping (yet), but always interested in knowing what people use.

@Augustine What did you use to create these 3D models?

 

[d95gas]

also came across this Open Source application that does Ortho - Modeling and much more:

WebODM Drone Software - OpenDroneMap™

A free, user-friendly, extendable application and API for drone image processing. Create maps, point clouds, 3D models and DEMs from aerial images.

Pix4d (flight plan), agisoft (photogametry), arcgis (layout) .

I am using the Pix4D for the planning and flying, after it my PC is working with the Agisoft Metashape Professional software.

After firmware 1.7 launch, Pix4D crash on Android. Any alternative to Pix4D?

 

[gaag70]

Tengo exactamente el mismo problema, al parecer no es compatible el firmware 1.7._ con Pix4D, según está sana lanzarán la corrección por parte de Parrot. Hay que estar al pendiente y la pregunta general es como volver a versiones anteriores de firmware?

 

[Jagerbomb52]

I have exactly the same problem, apparently the firmware 1.7._ is not compatible with Pix4D, as it is healthy they will launch the correction by Parrot. You have to be aware and the general question is how to go back to previous versions of firmware?

You cannot downgrade the Anafi. You are stuck with it until they resolve this issue.
