Good morning,<br>
<br>
Here are some of panoramic aerial images which I made in Odessa,
Ukraine, with the quadrocopter F450 DJI (flight controller Naza V2
with GPS) and camera GoPro 4 Session. One such an image may cover
several square kilometers. It does not substitute satellite imagery,
but provides useful information for mapping: building levels,
land-use, etc.<br>
<br>
And it is not necessary to have hundreds of photos for just one
street as with a Street-View approach. So it is not necessary to
have the newest servers for such a layer.<br>
<br>

to get the HD photo download it, do not save from the browser
screen.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://goo.gl/photos/Jnt4TaXuxyw7j6kR8" target="_blank"></a>F450 DJI is
assembled from the ARF (almost ready to fly kit), so it is easy to
upgrade and repair. It is a robust flying platform. Let alone camera
GoPro 4 Session.<br>
<br>
Mapillary accept aerial images but a flight should be only 4 - 5
meters above the ground. I published several aerial images on Google
Maps though, and the number of views is in thousands. Images are to
be geo-tagged before publishing to Google Maps.<br>
<br>
There will be the conference "How drones changing your business" in
Lausanne, Switzerland, on September 14th and 15th 2015: <a href="http://droneapps.co/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://droneapps.co/" target="_blank">http://droneapps.co/</a> . Among
attendees are DJI, Airbus, Lufthansa, SenseFly, DB Bahn, SNCF, and
others.<br>
<br>
I am also experimenting with fixed-wing UAVs. It is much harder to
learn to pilot well, but a fixed-wing UAV is capable by now to fly
about 200 km along a waypoint route with an autopilot.<br>
<br>
So the idea is to implement such a panoramic aerial imagery layer at
the OSM.<br>
<br>
