Cridea specialized in aerial data collection for topographical surveys using lightweight drones and photogrammetry technology. I built custom fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms using the academic "paparazzi" and the commercial "3DR" autopilot systems. The data products are heightmaps of terrains of 400x400m with between 2-10cm vertical precision, aerial maps with as high as 2cm/pixel resolution and videography of construction and mining sites.
