Introduction


    The ifgicopter project:
    Aim: using multicopters as platforms for gathering all kinds of sensor data


         •   high flexibility

         •   VTOL (hovering)

         •   little operating costs

         •   variable spatial
             and temporal resolution

Introduction


    Fields of work:
    •   flight planning software
    •   communication framework
    •   accurate positioning via enhanced differential GPS (DGPS)
    •   creation of (infrared) remote sensing products
    •   analysis of climate phenomena
    •   …

Quadrotor Sensor Platforms




          “Mikrokopter”                           “Microdrones”
           (building kit)                     (ready-to-use product)
     carries e.g. IXUS400 or                carries e.g. IXUS 100IS
     (NIR only, natural colour)                      (VIS-NIR)



        autonomous navigation via GPS and flight planning software

Infrared Imaging


    Sensor Technique:
    •   modified digital compact
        camera
    •   hot mirror removed
    •   captures light between 400
        and 1100 nm wavelength
    •   natural colour, NIR or CIR
        images (external filter)

Infrared Imaging

    Outcomes:                      colour infrared     near infrared




    •   bog under restoration




                                    RGB true colour        CIR composite (NIR/B)
