You might assume that Lizard Island is pristine, but it's not immune from the effects of litter. Unfortunately it was all too easy and fast to collect this haul.

Loving the patterns in this natural rock shelf off Jervis Bay, New South Wales! Any geologist or geomorphologist out there who can shed some light on how they form? Thank you to Graham Doig, UNSW for sharing data.geonadir.com/image-collec... #geology #geomorphology #dronemapping

Ultimately open source still needs to be paid for. Otherwise we see great things die in the arse because there is no sustainable funding. The silicon valley start up model of free or super cheap products / services doesn’t do any favours - it builds a culture where we don’t want to pay for things.

Dr Karen Joyce @drkjoyce.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

There is no such thing as free - someone always pays. I also think that the principles of reciprocity are powerful so we can contribute in one area but take advantage from another depending on the situation.

Dr Karen Joyce @drkjoyce.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

Super interesting topic. VCs will largely close their minds to open source as there is no protectable IP. But that’s shortsighted imo. Impact investors may take a diff view. From a consumer POV I think we need to be more responsible for paying / contributing when we can.

Kaikōura (NZ) literally means "eat crayfish" (kai = food/eat, kōura = crayfish) in Māori, making it a seafood lover’s paradise! It’s also one of the best places in the world to see sperm whales year-round! Thanks James Driscoll for sharing

🚁 Matrice 4 Enterprise vs. Mavic 3 Enterprise – Which one wins for drone mapping? 🚨 Bottom line: If you’re choosing between the M3E and M4E, the decision comes down to cost vs. capability. We break it all down in our latest blog. Read the full review here: geonadir.com/matrice-4-en...

We tested the DJI Matrice 4 Enterprise, putting it through its mapping paces and comparing it to the Mavic 3E in capabilities and price.

Important example showing how synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and optical satellite data are complementary. Here are pairs of images used by Reuters to document gravesites in Sudan’s famine-stricken Zamzam camp. www.reuters.com/investigates... Imagery from Umbra (SAR) & Airbus (optical).

Four images showing fresh graves in cemeteries near the Zamzam refugee camp. The left column is two synthetic aperture radar images, which look like grainy black and white photos. On the right are two very high resolution true-color satellite images. Some graves are visible in both synthetic aperture radar and true-color imagery, others are more easily identified in one or the other. The two types combined help provide a more accurate picture of the total number of graves.

DYK that you need to set higher than usual overlap and sidelap parameters when capturing multispectral (and thermal) #dronemapping data? Here's why... help.geonadir.com/en/articles/...

☁️Cloud computing at it's best haha :) With most pixels classified at cloud more than 70% of the time at our study site in the Torres Strait, we've had to get creative and use 193 images over two years to build a cloud free Sentinel-2 composite for habitat mapping

Yep, there's a remote, but we also just pre-program a mission and it then uses the GPS to follow the course. Heads out for about two hours capturing data. It's very cool!
