UAVs create 3D model of the Matterhorn

Sensefly, the creator of the lightweight, vision-enabled eBee unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), or drone, has teamed up with Drone Adventures-a non-profit company which promotes the potential use of drones in drones in civilian applications-to autonomously map the entire Matterhorn Mountain. eBee drones are equipped with a rear-mounted propeller and feature a 16 MPixel camera which is electronically integrated and controlled. The UAVs also come with Postflight Terra 3D-EB mapping software that runs off a desktop computer or laptop and processes aerial imagery into 2D maps and 3D models. >>>Read more.
