Re: [Qgis-user] Information about OSAC Flight Planning Software plugin

2014-06-15 Thread simbamangu
Some of the workflow certainly is something you can do in QGIS, but the
plugin seems to take a series of steps and bundle them into one package ...
plus, laying out a zigzag or 'snake' flight route is a non-trivial,
non-automatic exercise in QGIS. Unless there are other tools for that? If
so, I am desperate to hear about them!

Re: [Qgis-user] Information about OSAC Flight Planning Software plugin

2014-06-14 Thread Alex Mandel
A quick overview of their planning method doesn't show anything specific
to UAV. They made a regular sampling grid, connected them into a line,
exported a gpx for a gps. That can be done with stock QGIS. Especially
since the airphotos used in the planning were the OpenLayers plugin.

This is really generic mission planning for any field sampling method.

Thanks,
Alex

 Really I think a great tool, but I have tried to communicate with
Airbornescientific, but with no reply from them. The user registry on the
website also fails.

You know if there is another tool of free or open source software that
allows the planning of flights, especially focused on UAV.

Thanks for your answers.

Samuel Mesa.

The GPL doesn't require them to make the software public.  But they have to
give the plugin source to their customers (given that it's a python plugin they
probably do) and allow them to redistribute.

Weird. They might be violating our licence.
Anyone has more details?
Thanks for letting us know.
