Objective & Location

Objective

The main preface of this mission was to conduct a thermal flight mission to determine, with a variety of methods, which GCP material would work best for thermal scans. We flew the Matrice 300 platform at 400ft AGL altitudes took pictures and scans demonstrating this principle, of which is going to be used to determine the best course of action moving forward. This is mainly to relate thermal imagery to the real world because you can’t connect RTK with thermal scans.

Location

⁠

Purdue Wildlife Area

⁠

Our main base of operations was at the Purdue Wildlife Area. This location had some hazards to be aware of like trees surrounding the property, electrical lines on the south side, and housing/facilities on the west side. The ground was a little damp, but dry enough to conduct normal operations.
