Drone surveying tutorial with WingtraOne - Plan a flight, collect images and interact with the drone

Learn how to conduct a drone survey with WingtraOne. You will see how to plan a flight, how to collect aerial images and how to safely interact with the drone at any time. Watch how orthomosaic maps, point clouds and digital elevation models are produced from the collected images.

➞ WingtraOne surveying & mapping drone
The WingtraOne surveying drone allows geospatial professionals to perform aerial surveys for large projects with an unprecedented accuracy and image resolution.

➞ Flight planning with WingtraPilot
WingtraPilot is an intuitive and robust flight planning software offering fully-autonomous flight or manual control over aerial mapping projects.

➞ Wind and best environmental conditions for flying
To ensure flight safety, advisories for certain environmental conditions need to be followed.

➞ Terrain following
Terrain following allows WingtraOne to adjust the flight altitude for every sweep to achieve a consistent GSD. To achieve terrain following, WingtraPilot uses elevation data of the SRTM database with a spatial resolution of 30m. Please be aware that the elevation data is subject to uncertainty and does not account for vegetation, buildings or other objects.

➞ PPK and image geo-tagging:
In order to get accurate geotags, you can use either your own base station or correction data from a Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) network that is already available.

➞ Drone applications and outputs in surveying & GIS
Surveying with a drone offers enormous potential to GIS professionals. With a drone, it is possible to carry out topographic surveys of the same quality as the highly accurate measurements collected by traditional methods, but in a fraction of the time. This substantially reduces the cost of a site survey and the workload of specialists in the field.

➞ Why and how to use drones in construction and infrastructure projects

 ➞ Recommended photogrammetry post-processing software
The best photogrammetry software highly depends on your application. For processing drone survey data, we recommend 3DR, Pix4D, DroneDeploy or Delair.

Brilliant tutorial--such impressive technology.

[matthieulefebvre]

Very nice content to understand the values delivered by such a leading-edge VTOL drone!

[josealejandropacocondori]

Hi very good, I have a query according to the video, the control would not be necessary to land manually, having the digital control on the tablet, that is enabled directly in Wingtrapilot?

[Photoflyboy]

Nice video. It would also be nice to have a little FPV camera with video feed to see what's in front of

[ChangmaGoppoKarbari]

How much does this drone system costs with softwares?

[SajaksFavorites]

during loiter ... does it follow the terrain ?

[haroldsalamanca]

Very goo Job Wingtra Team, Good video with all the general steps to get propertly data! keep going like this

[eliaskleimann]

Well done Julian and team! You make it amazingly easy and safe to digitalize the world.

[twistersolutions]

We just bought one a while ago, and I love how easy it is to fly. My only complaint is I want to be able to see the camera feed. When will this be available??

[sekargeoz]

Can u post a Video related how the base station setting up for Wingtra one

[iKwadwoBen]

Very productive drone . I m hoping to pilot my first Wingtra

[KlasuHarko]

Excellent Video on your unique Platform and Software!

[marcusravi]

So much cheaper than a quadrotor (and also more efficient!)

Can you load your own DEM for the terrain following feature? This is a very important feature as we need to survey rapidly changing terrain, or terrain that has changed a lot since de last time the most common elevation models where generated (like SRTM or ASTER-GDEM, that are usually used in this applications).
