3D mapping the Matterhorn with a squadron of drones

3D mapping the Matterhorn with a squadron of drones

senseFly 2013-10-15 10:11 article  > All

A video crew follows senseFly's team of engineers marking a historic milestone in proof of surveying techniques, using eBee minidrones to map the epic Matterhorn and construct a 3D model of "the most beautiful mountain".

The mission involved the coordination of several teams with multiple eBee drones taking over 2200 images in 11 flights, all within a few hours of a sunny alpine morning. The results are stunning: a high-definition 3D point-cloud made of 300 million points covering an area of over 2800 hectares with an average resolution of 20 cm.
