Drone Deploy Mapping Demo Tutorial | DJI Mavic Pro

hey guys thanks for stopping back at sky view drones today we're going to be using drone deploy in the agricultural field by the end of this video you guys are going to know how to analyze your corn and soybean fields using your drone let's go ahead and head into the house and get the software set up and then after that we'll get to fly in and then at the end we'll analyze our final results alright we're back at the computer here and we're gonna start by heading a drone deploy comm if you guys don't have an account yet you can click try it for free they'll give you a 14-day trial we already have an account we're going to go ahead and click on my dashboard on the left hand side you guys are gonna see all the maps that you've already done before we're gonna go ahead and click the plus sign here and click plan a map flight the location of where this pulls up on the map is gonna be your closest cell tower that you're using the pull your net off of so we're gonna go ahead and drag this up to the field that we're gonna be flying today which is right there and drop it in the middle this is a soybean field so once you get into the center here grab a nice square corner to drop the box in and you're just gonna start pulling these dots to kind of work the parameters of your field in this video I'm going to kind of do it kind of quick to save time but whatever you're doing this for your actual self or your customer you're going to want to take your time to make sure you get all the little nooks and crannies whenever you guys process these images are those flight data you guys are capable of cropping this out on the end so it doesn't hurt to have a little bit of overlap the only reason that you wouldn't want overlap I guess is if there's somewhere that you don't want to fly over so if there's a house or something you want to make sure you're not flying over that would be a situation so we've got that map out pretty good you guys will see right here it says start that's where your drone is gonna start mapping this project at in this particular location we're taking off from this area right here so that looks pretty good if you guys don't like that I'm gonna show you how to change it let's take a few look at a few things here before we switch screens our flight time is gonna be two minutes 31 seconds flying 33 acres it's gonna take 191 images with one battery watch those numbers change a little bit we're gonna change our flight altitude to 300 you can see it's gonna take a few less photos and it's going to take that quite as long I like flying at 300 feel like it gives a much more consistent photo and that's kind of what I recommend I found stitching issues with the 2:46 member structure mode turned off live map mode turned off leave obstacle avoidance on check advanced features side lap front lap is gonna be how much these pictures overlap flight direction this is where you would change this number to change your start location or you can see right here our flight plan is going to be going over top of that person's property so I am gonna change this slightly until the flight plan is no longer flying on their property and I would recommend doing this so we're not flying over other people's property whenever at all possible we have one little section in or I'll be flying over a different area and that's just a field Woods so that would be safe it has moved our start point over here so if you wanted to change that to get closer to where you're taking off from you can change the starting Waypoint right here but we're gonna leave it like that for now we're gonna go ahead and stay our mission here at the bottom right hand corner click the save mission button and then click back to planning take one last look at everything make sure it looks ok I like the way it looks we'll go ahead and name our project here and we're going to name that subscribe to our channel and click Save and click back on the dashboard and you can see right here there is our map it is ready to go it is loaded into the drone deploy app if you click on it it'll pull it up everything that we did is right there click back on the dashboard and we're ready to go it's ready to be flown so we're gonna go ahead on outside connect the drone and I'm gonna walk you guys through what exactly we do on the app on our phone to get up into the air okay we got the app up there and you'll see our mission it's gonna pop up on the left hand side go ahead and click on that and that will go ahead and pull up our flight plan there just go ahead and take a quick look through here make sure everything looks right make sure no settings have changed take a look at your map here make sure nothing has changed with our map if you guys are happy with how things look there go ahead and click on the blue button in the bottom right hand corner and that's gonna go through all of our pre-flight checklist permissions as making sure you're flying in a safe location that you can be flying in the next one down is making sure that drone is ok we're gonna be checking on the camera making sure the cameras ok so our controller okay and are we on the right flight plan happy everything there go ahead and click the flashing blue button bottom right hand corner and now drugs in take off and we are heading out here guys the drones are blue and pink there's a whole bunch of pictures and whenever we get done and we're gonna take all those pictures back in the computer and analyze them I'm gonna go ahead and fast-forward through the flight here that lasted ride round I took about 10 to 12 minutes what we're fly-in if you guys but mine clicking that subscribe button and giving this video of like we greatly appreciate that be sure to also check out our other drone deploy videos not open five separate videos on how to export share and some other cool features and the drone deploy app [Applause] [Music] okay we got our SD card taken out of the drone plugged into the computer and we are back in the drone deploy app as you can see now here our map subscribe to our channel it has the option now to upload so you guys are gonna go ahead and click upload and then it's gonna say select full photos right here so find your folder that get your photos and here's ours right here as I mentioned whenever we were flying out there it takes a photo before it takes off which is right here so that's where I like to take a little plaque or table table marker or something and identify what feel them on right here kind of a way to help identify it takes that picture before it goes off every time but we don't want to use that in this in this software it doesn't want to see those pictures so we're gonna skip over that press and hold select go to the last picture so we have all of our pictures there so we're going to go ahead and click and hold and we will go over to our drone deploy we're gonna drop 179 images in there you're gonna see here that it's kind of process initially all of the photos make sure it has what it wants to see go ahead and click on terrain and this was the spot if you had any ground control points you could enter those in right there ground control points are basically specific markers that you put out in your field where you log the coordinates the absolute coordinates that you would take with a like a hand device out in the field we don't have any of those the advanced options here is where you can change the processing options I'm going to leave that quality is the most important to us so we're going to go ahead and click upload just and it's going to go through and upload 179 images and it's going to stitch them together I'm gonna go ahead and speed things up a little bit through this process there you go have to sit here and watch 179 photos upload so we'll reconvene here in just a little bit once those photos do get uploaded just want to touch on one other thing real quick here a lot people ask you know is this expensive software is this free software are the maps free do you have to pay for the maps and that is a very complicated question that we get a the software is not free they do have a free version of the software where you only get ortho mosaic maps which is basically what you're gonna get from Google images but in real time all the features that you see us running today are done through the pro version which is the last time I checked was about a thousand dollars a year so if you guys live in northern Illinois and you're wanting your fields red feel free to leave us a comment below and we can definitely walk you through getting your drone up in the air and getting these pictures taken or we can stop out and take them for you I will leave my email address down in the description feel free to shoot me an email and we would be more than happy to help you out with any of your agriculture needs or any type of troubleshooting problems you have we can go back to try to help you walk through those so gonna go ahead and let the photos continue to load here they're gonna go into a processing mode that's gonna take about two or three hours okay guys so our map has finished processing you see now that the symbol looks like this here it says map so let's go ahead and take a quick look at our features here go ahead and click on map there and I'm gonna go through just a few of the features real quick here first off you're gonna see that we have a 2d map and that's just ortho mosaic view of your field you can zoom in and zoom I kind of get an idea which what you have going on just by looking at the ortho mosaic Mac I can tell that we have an issue right here got7 issue right here looks like we have some issues going on right in here the next thing that we can take a look at is the 3d model that's going to take just a second to load here 3d models nice for kind of you know just a different view of your field I haven't cropped out the trees yet and that's what you see right there I'm not sure I guess I would do that before we leave today but that kind of give an idea of what your property looks like the next thing that we are going to check out this is Plant Health and this is where they're using an RGB camera to get an M VDI picture so you can kind of see like we haven't mentioned this was an issue right here you can see that's all red now you can play with the histogram over here a little bit to kind of refine your map kind of give you an idea of what it looks like whenever you adjust your histogram so I kind of gives you an idea if you drop that way back you can kind of see okay hey where my worst what my worst issues that here last thing we'll take a look at here is elevation I can't tell you what happened right here said we had some type of interference with the elevation but you can kind of get the general idea I spot here is in the red and as it goes into the yellow and into the blue that's our low spot and that's very consistent the field starts off from here to here falls about 60 feet so anyways we're gonna get into some of these other features just real quick here location you can drop a pin on your problem areas let's go back north and mosaic so we had talked about any problem right here we can drop a pin on it and it's gonna pull us up for photos here and it's a trying to give us a kind of a better idea of what's going on distance we can measure distance if we want to have a better idea of hey how long is this right here we can click on the top and then click on the bottom and that will give us our distance so next we'll take a look at I'm sorry it still still got me dragged in there okay there we go it's 279 feet and then it gives you the slope the elevation profile that could be useful maybe Donna that's an indication of why we're having a problem there next thing we can look at is area I'm going to go ahead and trash finger of that click on the area tool so let's say we want to figure out hey you know how much is this gonna cost me and by not having this plan and how many acres am I losing once you get out there and measure this by hand right so let's go ahead and just click a box around there and it's gonna say okay this is 0.26 six acres okay so that's the other feature and then the volume feature is not something that we use whenever we are that's something that I use so anyways one other thing that I wanted to talk about briefly here trying to keep this kind of a short as possible it is whatever we're dropping these pins here that's about the only way that you can pull up these four images of a specific location so I do get that question quite a bit people say well how do I get you know specific images of that spot right there so I know where I'm looking at well that's about the only way that I know how to do it is to go ahead and drop a pin on it and then the nice thing about whenever you drop the pin on there to let's say this picture right here okay this is the picture where I I want to walk out to this portion of the field that's gonna take a second to load but you can take a look at the coordinates and enter that into a handheld GPS walk right on out to it so anyways guys those are the basic features of the drone deploy software there are a few other things I'm gonna do some additional videos on such as sharing and exporting your information it's quite a bit more information so I think I'm gonna go ahead and separate that out into a separate video but anyways thanks for hanging in there guys I know this was a long video but there's a lot of information and really we've just got touched the surface on it I mean we we've only been doing in agriculture map this the software does so much more and does so much more agriculture than I've shown you two but this will get you up in the air and get a look at your field you get a better idea what you have going on out there and like I said before guys we do offer this service so if you want your field read go ahead and send me an email I'll drop my email down in the description in this video and be more than happy to come out and help you out or if you have the software yourself and want me to stop out and give you a hand getting you getting you going to be more than happy to do that too so anyways thanks for tuning guys if you guys enjoyed this video or found it helpful click the subscribe button and also give us a thumbs up and drop a comment below all those three things help us out and keep us going on this channel we'll see you guys next time
