Scott Haefner is another SFBay local KAP-er [http://scotthaefner.com/kap/], who's done some KAP mapping [http://scotthaefner.com/kap/gallery/map/?region=bayarea]
Wind speed varies quite a bit on the playa, day to day and hour to hour. The rig itself wouldn't need any GPS itself, since it would be nearly impossible to duplicate the altitude, location, and yaw/pitch/roll of the shot. The images could be manually georeferenced post event by triangulating known locations within the images. So, what height would be required to photograph the extent of the playa from a point nearly directly above the Man? ----- Original Message ---- From: Nikolaj Nyholm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 21, 2006 2:50:10 AM Subject: Re: [Geowanking] Mapping Burning Man i know this low-fi gimmick won't fully serve the purpose, but the premiere issue of make magazine had a how-to (http://www.makezine.com/01/KAP/) on aerial kite photography. the article author maintains a website (http://arch.ced.berkeley.edu/kap/) and even has some burning man photographs (http://arch.ced.berkeley.edu/kap/gallery/gal187.html) in his gallery. /n Eugen Leitl wrote: > On Tue, Jun 20, 2006 at 02:50:03PM -0700, Kevin Elliott wrote: >> Weather balloons and kites are cheaper :) > > Large model airplane flying GPS-guided hairpins, and a good camera; > mosaic the result. > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Geowanking mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
