Dear Syed, <br>
<br>
I hope everything is going well. <br>
I will try in the following weeks to move on this authorization to
fly in Bangladesh, any help are welcome. <br>
<br>
We are working on a new methodology to use drone on risk reduction
project ( with OpenStreetMap Haiti, I am also an OSM contributor). <br>
We will test a Near Infra Red NIR camera for land cover /land use
work. <br>
<br>
We will see how far we can go. <br>
<br>
We will use this camera S110 NIR

<br>
So let see if it can be useful during a pilot test end April/May in
Bangladesh. <br>
<br>
Even if we will do with an NGO, I am still using a Drone for OSM
activities, as a OSM contributor to improve our worklfow and try to
find useful use of it. <br>
<br>
So don't hesitate to contact me, especially to see with the
authorization.<br>
<br>
<br>
PS: <br>
All our imagery are on OSM France server (Jean Guilhem are doing the
maintenance) . Available as WMS / TMS link <br>
2014 images
tms:<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wms.openstreetmap.fr/tms/1.0.0/haiti_2014/">http://wms.openstreetmap.fr/tms/1.0.0/haiti_2014/</a>{zoom}/{x}/{y}<br>

<br>
Or directly in JOSM if you check supplier = HT / Imagerie Drone 2014
(Haīti) or HT / Imagerie drone (Haīti)<br>

<br>
<br>
Software: <br>
We will use Pix4D for the mosaic<br>
<br>
And for the extraction of the land cover and other ( NDVI ) we will
use Orfeo toolbox <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/otb/">http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/otb/</a><br>

All the best FredM<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Fred,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your email. I think deploying drones will be a
great idea for mapping those places for better hydrological
modeling. I believe the marked areas are mostly rural in
nature, and I don't expect tall buildings there. However, we
sure can check that accurately. I also believe that the
permission from the flight regulation authority is possible. I
know couple of people, who can help us on that regard.
Previously, we have seen drones being deployed in different
agricultural projects in rural Bangladesh, and I dont think it
will be difficult for us to get the permission. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am copying this email with couple of my friends, who can
give you more information. Please let us know if you have any
other question. Also, please feel free to keep me in the
loop. </div>

Including local knowledge about the risk, a good

For sure we will need to obtain permission from the
