Dr. Mohamed Mostafa presents at Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Geomatics Conference

BONN, Germany, Sept. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Mohamed Mostafa, Director of mdSolutions at Microdrones, presented at the prestigious UAVg Conference earlier this month. 250 geomatics professionals from around the world converged to share their research.

"The conference had the best scientific substance I have seen yet," said Dr. Mostafa, adding, "I enjoyed detailed research presentations by the most dedicated professionals in geomatics. LiDAR was an especially prevalent topic."

Mostafa presented his paper, Accuracy Assessment of Professional Grade Unmanned Systems For High Precision Airborne Mapping.

Here is a summary:

    --  The study consisted of eight flights flown using Microdrones
        mdMapper1000DG UAV mapping package, equipped with a Sony RX1RII and Sony
        R7 integrated with Trimble APX-15.

    --  The resulting accuracies matched the traditional well engineered manned
        systems.

    --  The paper presented the results of a geometric accuracy assessment
        project for unmanned systems equipped with multi-sensor systems for
        direct georeferencing purposes.

    --  The paper identified a number of parameters that either individually or
        collectively affect the quality and accuracy of a final airborne mapping
        product.

    --  Assessment of the final ground object positioning accuracy was presented
        through eight real-world flight missions.

    --  The achievable precision of map production was addressed in some detail.
