senseFly presents: Mapping the Impossible
Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
A video crew follows senseFly's team of engineers as they mark a historic surveying milestone by using eBee mapping drones to photograph the epic Matterhorn, before generating an astounding 3D model of "the most beautiful mountain". More on senseFly drones: http://www.sensefly.com/ The mission involved the coordination of several teams with multiple eBee UAVs taking over 2,200 images in 11 flights, all within a few hours on a sunny alpine morning. The results? A stunning high-definition 3D point-cloud comprised of 300 million points, covering an area of over 2,800 hectares and with an average resolution of 20 cm. A special thanks to our partners Pix4D (http://www.pix4d.com) for the creation of the 3D model, Drone Adventures (http://www.droneadventures.org) for mission coordination, and MapBox (http://www.mapbox.com) for online visualisation.

lol, you can tell this is a couple years old, you would need to be batshit crazy to do that with todays tech.
-
Whats the point of using the eBee if you need to climb the mountain?! Other UAVs can be sent from kilometers away
-
Can you bring this 3d Data in to maya or another 3d app?
-
Question? Why did you have to hike up the mountain? couldn't you just release it from the bottom? i'm guessing you'd use more battery trying to fly all the way up. more flights would have been required?

Michel D., je suis sur que cette vidéo va t'intéresser...

Outstanding ! Great mountain, great equipment, great trip and great team !!!
-
y my ebee landing too big gps error. or that uav need calibration after 10/20flight??
point landing too big miss nearly 5-10metres. help pls. -
Cool devices, including the #surface
-
Taking it to another level and a bit more, chapeau!
-
Danger, daring, courage, all this combined with appropriate technology, cutting-edge knowledge and willingness to be happy.

Camera moving around the 3D model seems like a bad way to show off your high resolution. What you have now does not seem to be any more detalized than, say, Skyrim. Static camera with moving light source would be much better.

Brilliant outcome - amazing data...
-
The music is great and fits well.
-
Nice project, but the music..cant you do better than this??

Привет! Сделай одолжение, подучи свой английский и подтяни техническое образование. Удачи! =)

The engine looks no powerful enough
-
I think that "unfortunately you have not received a good technical education
-
a three-dimensional map-sorry, this Matterhorn can be built for photos with satellite. In the urban context, this crap won't do. Unfortunately It is not quadrocopter. I don't want them to break, no money they want to earn on it , can they tried wrote the software . anyway I hope they had a good rest in mountains))."Science is the satisfaction of needs in curiosity at the expense of others)))".

O God, why, I'm Russian, should explain such things) this crap can't fly, she engine is not enough powerful, and what is on the engine pulls. I'm a programmer, and know that anybody can write, but that the mechanics will fly. With the same success can be put from the mountain boomerang or small model of airplane. No photo from this airplane, no video with this airplane. only from the earth.

В городских условиях эта хрень не взлетит. Увы Это не квадрокоптер. Ещё, или вам понятно и достаточно? Я не хочу их обламывать, может они денег хотят на этом заработать , может они старались писали программное обеспечение . во всяком случае надеюсь они хорошо отдохнули в горах.Наука - это удовлетворение своих потребностей в любопытстве за чужой счет.
