Jugendwettfahrten des BYC in Berlin

Recht sonnige aber schwachwindige Bedingungen zu den Jugendwettfahrten in Berlin. Wieder einmal für den BYC unterwegs, bei solchen lauen Bedingungen muss man die Spezialkarten ziehen – die Drohne und das UW-Gehäuse auspacken und experimentieren. Inzwischen fallen mir immer mehr Bildideen mit Zeitserien-Charakter ein. Muss an den Möglichkeiten des Copters liegen, aber viele Sachen kann man halt  mit etwas Planung natürlich auch...

Problem: very long processing times with dense point cloud calculations with high or ultra-high settings (full resolution image matching with SfM (Structure from Motion) algorithms). Some nice net finds show...
