Advanced Dronelink – Mapping

2D Mapping 0:11
Rendering 2D image 2:55
2.5D Mapping 4:42
Rendering 2.5D image 7:01
3D Mapping 9:10
Rendering 3D model 18:47

In this video, we go in depth how to make 2D, 2.5D and 3D mapping.
This is exclusively with Dronelink (although the principle is applicable for other flight apps too)
The first mission is with the DJI Mavic Pro and the 2nd and 3rd mission are with the DJI Inspire 2 with X5S gimbal.
The image format remains 16/9 and not 4/3 like for equirectangular images.
For stitching of the 2D and 2.5D image, I have used the Kolor Autopano Giga 4.4.2 (although this is discontinued) you can use the KRPano tools;
krpano.com/home/

For rendering of the 3D model, I use the software from WebODM;

For 3D model viewing, I use MeshLab;

    Thanks. I followed your tutorial and instantly got some amazing 3D model. Great stuff!
  • Thank you - I did (nearly) all of this a couple of days ago, but my houses and trees had no "sides" (because I used -90 or -85 only. The -75 and the orbit I will try tomorrow! Thank you - so cool!!!!
  • @YourCountdown
    Het was zeer fijn om jou te leren kennen. Knappe video! Altijd welkom op het Duigemhof als je in de buurt bent.
  • @jmbdeblois
    Amazing job. I'm going to try it for Loire Valley castles !!
  • @jackchiang666
    Thanks for your video. I just wonder which plan should I subscribe from the dronelink website .. so I can get mapping ?
  • @Prinziman
    Very good video, I have a question: for the 3d mapping what kind of license I need in Dronelink? I was about to acquire the elite hobby license (99$) but, before I buy it, I would like to know first if the 3d mapping is included in it.
  • @MrGriffin313
    Hi im trying to arrange a map on this but its losing all the paths as i fine tune the area
  • @eaojnr
    Oyibo, how come in your mapping I see beizer turns than straight corners? Is this the old version of the hub?
  • What do you use these maps for? Can they be measured with accuracy?
  • @ycho
    Do you have this video without background music / sound? I'm having difficulty hearing your voice and I really regret it because this video seems to be very very useful
  • @IamTreken
    Can you clarify what version of drone link you are using? I have the premium version and I’m not seeing several of the settings you adjusted.
  • @FretkaDraveN
    I have the enthusiast plan. Is there any way to change flight livel during a mapping mission? I want to change the flight level when the drone reaches a certain boundary point of the map, but I can't find any way to do so without upgrading my plan to enable "above ground level" (AGL) altitude.

    What package that's enough for mapping 2D on Mavic Air 2 with 48MP?
  • Thanks for much for your great tutorials. Since Autopano is now gone (😞) I wonder what you might be using for stitching these days. I've been looking into OpenDroneMap (and WebODM) and it seems very capable.
