Posted by pedrito1414 on 29 October 2024 in English.I was putting together some facts and stats* on OpenAerialMap and the open drone imagery it hosts and thought it might be interesting / useful for OSM peeps as a key user group…
In case you don’t know, OpenAerialMap is a platform for making open imagery available to people that need it.

OpenAerialMap drone imagery covers an area larger than 60,000km²
OpenAerialMap drone imagery is most prevalent in USA, Brazil, Russia, Bangladesh & Tanzania

The slide deck these images came from can be found here.

Kam still superimpressed what is all possible with drones. ESP with budget and DIY there are so cool projects out there to archive gold aerial imagery and generate brillant GIS data out of it :-) https://github.com/Matthias84/awesome-flying-fpv/
