Has introduced its solution for the pilot who enjoys the $100 hamburger but doesn’t like getting too techie. Aero Charting works on an iPad and provides a moving map with vector aeronautical charts.
It also allows custom route creation and integration with the Aircraft Owner and Pilots Association Internet Flight Planner.“We felt there was the need for a simple, easy-to-use situational awareness tool for pilots,” said Brian Leutschaft, product manager for Aero Charting. “It provides the basics needed to plan, navigate and fly the whole of US airspace.
We put everything on one screen, made it work on the iPad, and made it free. How’s that?”How is it free? Aero Charting is ad-supported, and for a limited time, users can permanently turn off the ads for $9.99.What’s next?

“FAA’s IFR High, Low Enroute and Area charts along with VFR sectional charts,” Leutschaft said. “Stay tuned.”You can download from the.
Planning a data-capture flight can be a tricky process. Our flight planning software tool DJIFlightPlanner takes the challenge out of area-based mission planning. This low-cost, easy to use software (US$99 for a single-PC perpetual license) has been designed specifically for low-altitude UAV flights and supports DJI hardware such as the Phantom 3 / 4, Inspire 1 / 2, Mavic 1/2 Air/Pro/Zoom, Spark and Matrice 100/200/210/600.DJIFlightPlanner will allow you to adjust critical imaging parameters: camera sensor, flying height, ground speed, forward overlap, side overlap, ground pixel size & imaging frame rate. This puts you in complete control over your photogrammetric aerial survey mission & guarantees full coverage over the area of interest.We originally designed this software for us to use ourselves, because we simply COULD NOT FIND a satisfactory way to pre-plan and fly an area-based mission with our off-the-shelf DJI Phantom. Our export file format can be imported directly into (for Android & Apple iOS) for flying.
So then with a single-button press, you can make your drone take off, fly the mission, and safely land again after having automatically captured all the required images.WHAT YOU WILL NEED:Your DJI drone+A 64-bit Windows-based PC for flight planning (with DJIFlightPlanner installed)+An Android-based tablet or phone for flying (with Litchi installed)(or)An Apple iOS-based tablet or phone for flying (with Litchi installed)ALSO RECOMMENDEDNEW! For post-flight image analysis we recommend. For only $29 for a license, this great little tool allows you to review image metadata while still on-site.
Everything is shown on a map-based screen and has search capabilities, as well as thumbnail previews and a customizable export tool. This unique way of looking at image metadata has been designed specifically with UAV imagery in mind, and it also exposes the hidden metadata that DJI drones usually record - most EXIF software won't read these tags!NEW! Unlock the true potential of your DJI drone today by performing photogrammetric aerial survey missions.
Generate millions of 3D points from 2D images. Produce photo-realistic ortho-mosaics from as few as half-a-dozen images. Whether you are from a small company, university, government sector, mining, defence, engineering, or large multinational, DJIFlightPlanner (for flight planning) and (for image processing) are a powerful and affordable combination.
DJIFlightPlanner represents a collaboration between long-time friends and colleagues AeroScientific (global experts in Flight Management and Sensor Control), Photometrix (a world-leading developer of Photogrammetry Software & Image Processing algorithms) and DeChant Consulting Services (co-developer and US sales firm for the Photometrix iWitness software suite). We have over 50 years combined experience in Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing. Our team comprises photogrammetrists, pilots, software developers, drone enthusiasts, engineers, photographers, academics & surveyors. For flight planning, we recommend DJIFlightPlanner and for flying, we recommend Litchi.NEW! For post-flight image analysis we recommend DJIAfterFlight.
For only $29 for a license, this affordable software allows you to quickly review your imagery and make sure you’ve captured everything before leaving a site. Simply drag & drop your imagery onto the main screen and DJIAfterFlight will automatically load all the available image metadata (including some very useful DJI-specific fields) and display it in a user-friendly interactive map-based environment. This inexpensive yet powerful tool will quickly become an integral part of your workflow. Visit the website to request your free demo version today!For photogrammetric image processing we recommend iWitnessPRO-V4. At $2495, this software presents an affordable alternative to high-priced systems.
A licence is perpetual and there are no ongoing maintenance fees or other complicated hidden costs. IWitnessPRO-V4 is developed by Photometrix, one of our industry partners. You can request a free 30-day demo version from us directly. IWitnessPRO V4 generates dense 3D point cloud data in.las file format and a georeferenced ortho-image from UAV/drone imagery. Also supported are GCPs, manual point measurement, scale & orientation, and automatic lens calibration, all in a highly intuitive workflow. Visit the and websites for more information.
