Hi,<br clear="none">
is there a Mailinglist for the Technical aspects of DIY Remote Sensing<br clear="none">
e.g. Aerial imaging? <br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I am talking about Drone/Copter/Autonomous flying like Sensefly Ebee <br clear="none">
and the like.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
As a lot of people are not capable of buying of the shelve equipment<br clear="none">
like the Ebee it might be interesting to get people together with<br clear="none">
their DIY projects. Autonomous Fixed Wings could be build in the range<br clear="none">
of 300€ - But then IMHO the hard part starts.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Camera, Georeferencing the GeoTIFFs, creating a WMS service to be<br clear="none">
able to use them with Josm etc. Getting together an Open Source<br clear="none">
toolchain, docker containers, howtos etc <br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Here is a (German) walk through in building a FPV Wing. We wouldnt need<br clear="none">
the FPV parts and this size is most likely not capable of carrying a<br clear="none">
camera but its a start.<br clear="none">

For somebody who has dealt with electronics in the past its Buildable<br clear="none">
but i am having a hard time getting it actually to fly.<br clear="none">
