Legally Speaking - Ed

Legally Speaking -EdOTHER COUNTRIES - Best to contact your government agency that oversees your countries airspace and find out what local governments laws/restrictions may be

LOCAL (STATE & CITY) - Contact whatever state and local municipality (city) you will be flying in. (Some cities have laws forbidding ANY unmanned flying devices)

“the state of Virginia imposed a two-year ban on their use” & “California Assembly approves limits on drones, paparazzi”

• Shouldn’t fly in heavily populated areas!• Avoid Power lines, Trees or other

obstacles.• Keep in line of sight at all times.• Don’t fly within 5 miles of an airport!• Don’t fly over police stations!• Don’t fly over stadiums, etc.!

Uses

The Equipment -

What to look for:

� Weight

� Aperture – the smaller the number the better

it will be in low light or motion capture

� Look for the still photo size/resolution

� Burst mode is good if you want to take a

series of photos of one spot to choose from

later

� Bit rate or data transfer rate – this means

how fast can the camera write your data to the

memory card.

� Memory card that has a matching or higher

bit rate then the camera

� Battery life

CAPTURE- Collecting the shots! & Tips!

PUBLISH - Exporting the model

EXPORTED FILE FORMATS• ReCap Photo can export the 3D models that it generates from photos, in .OBJ, .FBX, .IPM .RCM and RCS format. The first four are MESH file formats, while .RCS is a point cloud file format, appropriate to be opened in ReCap for cleaning and ReCap Pro for registering point clouds (scans).

• The native file format ReCap Photo uses to save the 3D scene is .RCP. This is the Reality Capture Project file and it is that file that you need to select when wanting to open/view your model online. Do not confuse it with .RCS which is the point cloud format that can be opened and used in ReCap/ReCap Pro.

Capturing and Creating reality data

using the 3DR Solo and ReCap 360

3DR Solo is the world’s first smart drone

Solo performs autonomous inspection and mapping missions

DroneKit is Solo’s extensible SDK

Solo talks to ReCap 360

ReCap generates point clouds and meshes

It’s that time of year again! The Department of Transportation and municipalities across the world are stocking up there salt and sand storage in preparation for winter’s storms. But the big question is….how much are they currently storing? Likely they know this value prior to the first storm, but what

Case Studies - It’s happening already!

• Improved building footprint accuracy compared to provided civil drawings

• Discovery of previously undetected building anomalies

• Accelerated the architect’s design delivery because of the quick turn-around

• Dramatically reduced the cost of traditional field collection by 60%

• Preform better volumes calculations than by hand calcs.

• Can convert point cloud to a surface in AutoCAD Civil 3D

• 3d Assessment

Autodesk ReCap 360, AutoCAD Civil 3D and Volumes

It’s that time of year again! The Department of Transportation and municipalities across the world are stocking up there salt and sand storage in preparation for winter’s storms. But the big question is….how much are they currently storing? Likely they know this value prior to the first storm, but what about after that? I have a solution that will help! Combining the power of a GoPro camera, Autodesk ReCap 360 and AutoCAD Civil 3D we can convert pictures to a full 3D model and calculate volumes. The process is simple, and I will share it with you here…but be sure to watch the video first so you can see a teaser of the process!
