Jätkuks eelnevatele postitustele ka mõned taustapildid ja mudel Kukruse aherainemäest. Selle mäe sees on temperatuurid päriselt üle 300°C ja termopiltidel ning mudelitel tuleb lõhede ring oma kuumemate kohtadega ka ilusti välja. Meie oma „vulkaan“ või „Sauroni silm“.

3D mudel on Maa-ameti lidari avaandmed.Termokaamera enda 3D mudel ei tulnud kõige parema kvaliteediga ja Mavic 2 pro andmed läksid kaduma, kuna mälukaart läks „lihtsalt“ katki.

Some images from behind the scenes of mapping Kukruse waste rock mound. This hill actually has temperatuures above 300°C inside and it is clearly seen also in the model and small craters. So this is the one and only Estonian „vulcano“ or „Eye of the Sauron“.

Again the 3D model is from open lidar data from Estonian Land Board, since UAV photogrammetry of thermal images did not produce very good 3D model and we lost the data from Mavic 2 Pro because the memory card error.

Eelmise postituse jätkuks ka üks näide Sompa aheraine mägede termokaardist. Temperatuurid on vahemikus 10-25 kraadi C. Jällegi tänud Andres Mummale lendamise eest ja Maa-ameti avaandmetele, mis on abistanud kõrgusmudeliga.

As a follow up to previous post. Example result from Sompa where temperature layer (ranging roughly from 10-25 degrees C) is overlaid on top of 3D model (Estonian Land Board Open Data) of the Sompa waste rock mounds. Thanks again to Andres Mumma for bringing the UAV.

Thermal survey in Sompa waste rock mounds that are visible in the background. Special thanks to Andres Mumma from Estonian Academy of Security Sciences, who was willing to help us out after we crashed our own hexarotor....

Tegime jälle pisut termoseiret, seekord Sompa aherainemägede juures. Vajalik tehnika tuli seekord Sisekaitseakadeemist (Andres Mumma), kes oli lahkesti nõus meid aitama. Aitama seetõttu, et ise oskasime oma põhilise lennuhobuse eelmisel päeval puruks sõita...

Kuskil märtsi lõpupoole märkisime maha 89 punkti, et teha oma UAV'ga kaameratele geomeetrilist kalibreerimist. Saime vihma, rahet, päikest ja lund!

Somewhere at the end of March we marked and measured 89 ground control points to calibrate our cameras used with UAVs. We got rain, hail, sun and snow!

Eelmisel nädalal tegime droonipõhist termoseiret. Allpool on üks näide tulemusest (Kukruse aherainemägi).

Last week was dedicated to thermal survey from UAV. Here is one example:

Its the second day in the COST HARMONIUS workshop in Prague. The location is marvelous castle of Pruhovice and we got many new ideas from the first day. Especially interesting was various usage of thermal cameras - we will also fly them this spring! Stay tuned :)

We did some car counting! It had to be done in the morning around 10am and very late in the evening after 11pm. Main challenges were the darkness and cold temperatures at almost the midnight time. It was approximately -13 degrees Celsius, but no problems with the drone, just my freezing fingers.
