Drone hunt for fallen meteorite

[PeRo]

Fascinating utilization of drones, combined with powerful image processing capability. One can imagine a lot of more search patterns, i.e. for advanced SAR missions.

Good use of drone tech.

Councils (city of) use that sort of tech here, to see if unapproved construction has been undertaken in the suburbs, it can compare images from past drone, google sat, aircraft photos, to recent photos, and see if roof space has been increased by X% etc, then send the inspectors around !

This location in Australia (the Nullarbor) is so flat and devoid of anything other than low thin vegetation is a perfect place to use this, from the air it is easy to discern minor changes in the landscape.

I have been using my drones to look for elk sheds for seven and i can appreciate the things you learn about using a drone or drones for this kind of search if it wasn,t for litchi waypoint missions I would have given up some time ago , since feb 14th to date I watched 3,131,090 ft of video footage these last two months ,only to find 13 cow elk are the only residents there this year, so as much as i hate to say it I,ve failed miserably in this venture

As Albert once said, failure is success in progress.
