[HOT] OpenAerialMap, UAVs and HOT mapping

[Blake Girardot]

Hi all,

In case anyone is interested the OpenAerialMap project has a Google 
Group for discussion of things related to the project.

My main interest is in using small UAVs to generate aerial imagery and 
there has been some amazing pilot project work already done with small 
UAV imagery in Haiti.

A nice write up about it and some video is here (French and English):

A more detailed illustration of the OpenAerialMap plans can be found here:

So, if anyone else is interested in any of the OAM project parts or 
using UAVs for aerial imagery, please join up with the Google Group 
email list and introduce yourself.

Here is the link to the google group, I hope to see you there!
