Dear Syed,
I hope everything is going well.
I will try in the following weeks to move on this authorization to fly
in Bangladesh, any help are welcome.
We are working on a new methodology to use drone on risk reduction
project ( with OpenStreetMap Haiti, I am also an OSM contributor).
We will test a Near Infra Red NIR camera for land cover /land use work.
We will see how far we can go.
We will use this camera S110 NIR
https://www.sensefly.com/drones/accessories.html
https://support.pix4d.com/hc/en-us/articles/202561429-Example-Datasets-Available-for-Download-Agriculture
https://www.sensefly.com/examples-of-postflight-processing.html
https://www.sensefly.com/applications/agriculture.html
So let see if it can be useful during a pilot test end April/May in
Bangladesh.
Even if we will do with an NGO, I am still using a Drone for OSM
activities, as a OSM contributor to improve our worklfow and try to find
useful use of it.
So don't hesitate to contact me, especially to see with the authorization.
PS:
All our imagery are on OSM France server (Jean Guilhem are doing the
maintenance) . Available as WMS / TMS link
2014 images
tms:http://wms.openstreetmap.fr/tms/1.0.0/haiti_2014/{zoom}/{x}/{y}
2013 images
tms:http://wms.openstreetmap.fr/tms/1.0.0/iomhaiti/{zoom}/{x}/{y}
Or directly in JOSM if you check supplier = HT / Imagerie Drone 2014
(Haïti) or HT / Imagerie drone (Haïti)
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Preferences/Imagery
Software:
We will use Pix4D for the mosaic
And for the extraction of the land cover and other ( NDVI ) we will use
Orfeo toolbox http://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/otb/
All the best FredM

Hi Fred,
Thanks for your email. I think deploying drones will be a great idea
for mapping those places for better hydrological modeling. I believe
the marked areas are mostly rural in nature, and I don't expect tall
buildings there. However, we sure can check that accurately. I also
believe that the permission from the flight regulation authority is
possible. I know couple of people, who can help us on that regard.
Previously, we have seen drones being deployed in different
agricultural projects in rural Bangladesh, and I dont think it will be
difficult for us to get the permission.
I am copying this email with couple of my friends, who can give you
more information. Please let us know if you have any other question.
Also, please feel free to keep me in the loop.
Regards,
Ishtiaque

Dear all,
Terre des Hommes has conducted a DRR (disaster risk reduction)
mission in Haiti with OSM Haiti (they have seen the Drone +
mapping party
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujTiYoi33_g&feature=youtu.be
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujTiYoi33_g&feature=youtu.be%C2%A0%20>
and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oou32o-jR0M
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oou32o-jR0M%C2%A0%20> )
And now Tdh Bangladesh would like to deploy**the OSM Haiti
methodology and Drone in Bangladesh**for their mitigation project
in this area of interest
http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/tdh-bangladesh-drr_24362#10/25.6811/89.8242
What do you think? The idea is to have the best open database to
improve hydrological modelling (we discussed the methodology in
this events http://eguworkshop.deltares.nl/index.php/agenda/index
Including local knowledge about the risk, a good elevation model
(height of the building, an up to date land cover, road, etc....).
For sure we will need to obtain permission from the flight
regulation authority,
http://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2014/01/30/caab-baf-permission-needed-to-fly-drones,
Any idea, possible not possible in your country.
All the best FredM OSM contributor
