Image transects for ecological baselines
This project was undertaken in March 2024, with a briefing to collect geo-tagged imagery and video along specified transects over a shallow lake. These will be used as a condition assessment baseline. The technical challenge was developing repeatable flight paths between specific coordinate pairs. Drone control software often permits this type of flight based on…

I’ve added small drones to the sea ice research toolkit at the Norwegian Polar Institute, using them to collect imagery for Structure from Motion reconstruction of work sites and local topography. I also developed techniques for mapping flights when the world we occupy is moving, and autonomous planned flights cannot be used. This work has…
