- Tutorial for using drone aerial photographs to create 3D computer models with Agisoft Photoscan.
Check out forum blog post for more info: www.droneminds....
I have been 3d modeling since 1995. I have seen most everything imaginable. Thank you for this video. I will download a copy of this directly and hope to see more from you in the future. In wondering which direction I should go to reach my next level, perhaps I should look to the sky. It appears to me that everything on the ground has been done already.
Very interesting. I managed to make a model of our local church just from stills I already had taken using my P3Pro.
Thank you for putting up such an informative video. I'm chuffed to have made something really good after watching it.
Well done.
+Adrian Shaw Brilliant! If you aren't already on there you should join our forums and share your pictures and model!

Great stuff Jonathan.....Just got Photoscan and using it with my Phantom 4 photography. This is the first presentation I've seen that doesn't sound as though it's teaching applied physics !! Having some early successes and for that I thank you :-)
That's brilliant, really glad it's been helpful. If you haven't already you can join droneminds.com and share your own stuff on there, or ask questions about Agisoft or anything you like about drones etc?
Thanks a lot for your great and good tutorial video, it helped me a lot as a foreign country student during my thesis !
+Attila Árvai no worries. :-)
Big thanks for this. Really easy to follow tutorial. Need a good day to get the drone in the sky now.
Very interesting, amazing what you can do with a drone these days! thanks for sharing!
Shaun Matthews Thanks, definitely going to do some more of these. I did some video in the same place as well, so I'm having a look at making a yt of that too.
That was excellent. Thanks for posting Jonathan.
Great, thank you for watching :)
Very, very well done! Thanks much for this clear overview of the process. I've just bought PhotoScan and was, until now, a bit intimidated by the learning curve.
Thank you, I'm very pleased it has been useful to you. Feel free to join droneminds.com if you have any questions or want to share your videos etc. :)
I guess Im pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch new tv shows online?
@Kashton Emiliano Flixportal
thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it !
@Kashton Emiliano no problem :D
Fantastic dude! Helping me massively with my masters thesis. The agisoft website is incredibly dense. Thanks again!
Thank you! And it's true about the website, I got pretty much no help from there, it's so confusing. I just kept using the software until I finally figured out what was going on. :) Good look with your masters! P.S. if you need to ask anything specific about drones and/or 3d models etc feel free to join droneminds.com and post your questions, if you haven't already?
I'll definitely sign up and get stuck in. Really nice to know there's a community out there! Fantastic channel by the way. You've gained a fan
No worries, thank you :)
I was into almost same thing with those AgiSoft guys (7 years ago). Please PLEASE buy it, do not use crack. Enormous work, knowledge and genioustiy is behind this work. AgiSoft is cool... AgiSoft rocks...
Amazing tutorial! Thank you Jonathan!
Thanks :-)
Johnathan, Great video on the Phantom mapping software. Amazing results with only 12 shots and a pdf to boot. It looks like Agisoft has a Mac version too.
Thanks, hope you give it a try and let us know how it goes. :-)
Finally the video that I am looking for... thank you so much. I feel like I have to pay you or something :)
+Tarek Adhami haha, I've waited all my life for someone to say that. :)
This Vid was very helpful. I just download trial version........now I can go to work. I have a Phantom 3 Pro and I'm trying different programs to provide survey grade mapping.
Joseph Lavetsky s
Thank you Jonathan. Very good video!
Thanks! :-)
You have Won a new subcriber! The best tutorial for 3D Maps in RUclips! Thanks!
Hello, I have a rather urgent question. I performed a "low" quality treatment (cloud, alignment...etc). If I want to switch to "high" quality, is there a way to reuse the work done in low quality to reduce the working time or do I have to redo everything from the beginning in high quality?
Thanks.
Great , Im test now and I show you how to do, thanks for explanation.
+Jean Pavão Great. :)
Thank you sir. That was very informative and very well presented.
Thank you. :-)
Thanks for this information!
Congratulations from Brasil 🇧🇷
Hi. Drone Minds. How to determine the number of pictures to be taken based on the distance or time? or there is a setting that must be done before the flight. thank you
+Syafruddin Rauf Usually just set the camera on 5 second intervals and circle around and fly above pointing down etc. For best results you want each photo to overlap by 70 or 80 %, but 50% overlap works well too. Obviously if you are closer you will get more detail. I don't really have any special formulas though, just try to photograph every angle.
+Drone Minds. Thank you for the information
Perfect Video.. Just for a purpose. Clean information. Thanks..
Thanks! :-)
Perfect You are a great teacher. Thank you a lot. Now I Understand how simple he is. Im happy to fly now.
Thanks SO much for this excellent tutorial, well done!
Thanks for the nice comment. :-)
Please zoom in from ground perspective on your models so we can see what it would look like from a pedestrians point of view. for all we know, your trees and rocks and such, could of been squished from lack of photos from a lower point of view. Details like this are essential for new comers to understand what is needed for a first trial run.
+The WHITE WOLFF Thank you for your comments. There are more details explained via the link in description, and the video does say you would need a lot more photos than used there. We have had someone on the forum ask advice for their own model, send us files even, then improved their model from given advice. It's always hard to figure out how much to put in a tutorial video. May do another with more details like you say.
Good evening. That another team would recommend me to start in aerial photographs and maps. thanks for your information.
Thanks for your information,,great.... but I have a question,,, how ca I generate cotourns line ?,, and how can I to remove the distorsion about the tress and other objets on the ground ?..?
+Harold Mejia Thanks. You can't do contours with Agisoft, you need something like Quantum-GIS, or other GIS software. Acute3D does a little better at trees and stuff, but it's quite expensive for full versions. Other than that you can try taking more pictures, and using GCPs, ground control points, the RTK (real time kinetic) GPS devices - but some of those are hugely expensive.
I really admire what you did. Can I export the models to other software for further analysis? Say, overlaying with DEM, digitizing to calculate the degree or extent of the affected area, and soon. Hope to hear you soon. thnx....
and other thing that i forgot, how accurate is the 3d model?? whats the difference between the real distances and the ones in the 3d model????
+Carlos Fdz I think it's meter accuracy rathar than cm. You'd have to do a test and see. For super accuracy you really need RTK (Real Time Kinetics) GPS and ground control points. There are some near RTK systems for drones being developed, but might have to wait a year or two for them to appear on DJI products.
Merci infiniment. C est la video que je cherchais depuis longtemps
This was VERY helpful - thanks! Subbed
Hi, i am quite curious about Aerial survey.
I found in lots of website that the DJI drones are used specifically for surveillance or filming.
Can we use them for surveying also or you have some additional lenses for 3D imaging..
+MOHIT BAUNTHIYAL What type of surveying? You can't add additional lenses to the Phantom 3, but you can with the Inspire 1, which also has thermal imaging setups available. Or if you want LIDAR you would need a DJI S1000 or S900 (or a frame and setup by a different company) with a third party LIDAR system.
I am looking for a drone for aerial survey for civil industries, mining industry. So that they map out there locations by drones and then import all images and work do the rest of there postprocessing stuff...
+MOHIT BAUNTHIYAL Might be better if you join the forums and ask there? Will be able to post more details, images and videos etc: www.droneminds.com/forums/
Do you know of any software that saves a 360º panorama to a PDF, working the same way it does on facebook...I was really amazed but the 3D mapping running on PDF
No, sorry. would be cool though.
Do you know of any program that processes video straight up? It seems more efficient IMHO. The ability to divide the video into keyframes that may then be input into Agisoft perhaps...just thinking out loud.
excellent tutorial
Really good video! but i have one question, can i calculate volumes with this software? and is the DJI phantom 3 good enough to create good 3d modelings?
+Carlos Fdz I think you can create pretty good models with the P3. You can measure volumes with the pro version: www.agisoft.com/index.php?id=36
Thanks for sharing. How do you Geo-reference images taken with a GoPro Hero 4? I have a homebuilt drone with a GoPro on board, can this be used for successful mapping projects?
You would probably have to get a geologger device to put on your drone, the synch the data with your photos. You can make a map without gps data though if it doesn't need to be accurately placed.
Ok. Thanks so much for replying.
Very good video,
With the standard version of the program, once the 3D map finished, measurements can be made?
I have a Phantom 3 PRO and a construction company asked me a 3D map of a portion of land with some measurements.
Cheers.-
Sorry, no, I don't think you can.
Well, thanks anyway.
that flight planning program could you recommend me?
+Pablo Gabriel Waisgold To be honest we haven't really tried anything other than DJI's built in waypoints etc. You could do it just using those? Some of the third party apps are having issues at the moment with the failsafe return to home function, so you would have to be careful with them. We did download this one but haven't tried it yet: autoflightlogic.com/
+Pablo Gabriel Waisgold probably you can with the pro version or with another program.
Thank you for this very helpful video
No worries, thank you for watching. :-)
Great video Johnathan - very informative. Agisoft appears to work great with the Phantom 3 camera. I am flying a P2V+ with the stock wide angle lens - been researching on the Agisoft website & believe that it can still work & produce a pretty good 3D rendering - also camera 'slighty' tilted from straight down? your thoughts before I go out & actually try it?
Thanks
Thanks. It should work. Just make sure all your shots overlap at least 50% or more. If you want you can join our forums and get specific advice/share your results. There's already a couple posts talking about this. Http://www.droneminds.com/forums/
Thanks - do I need to flatten images before putting them in Agisoft?
I plan to shoot jpegs as RAW just takes too Damn long & the jpegs are still 14megs........?
Not sure? You can try it on the lowest quality setting first. It's really quick that way and you can see if it works. It does allow for the type of lens used if it's in the exif info.
Ok appreciate your input. Will let you know how I get on in the near future.
Thanks again
I want to make a 3 model of a building where you can click on any point of the model and open up the high res photo of that area. Do you know if that is possible with Agisoft or PIx4d? Thanks
Many thanks, will do.
Good job, I have tried with my phantom but the results are far from yours.
Can you explain some more how you did?
Altitude for you photos, camera settings etc?
Best regards
Thanks. If you join the forums at droneminds.com it's easier to share what you've done and for me to help and share what I've done.
+Drone Minds
Thanks, will do :)
NIce job on the tutorial. THanks a lot.
Thank you, glad it's helpful.
So good....best tutorial! keep it up! loved it
Great video
+Pino GALASSO Thanks :)
Excellent tutorial cheers
Please Colleagues need help as I program a flight path for my DJI phantom three pro?
I see the video but do not understand how my drone read , processed, or acquires the flight path.
It is for photogrammetry , I regret my English , I'm from Latin America and study geographic Engineering
+PABLO OTÁLORA In this video I just flew manually, but you could use DJI Phantom's built in Point of Interest, or Waypoints. Our you can download third party software like Autoflight Logic to do planned flights.
thanks for this video !
actually I am looking for a good mapping program such as pix4d , Agisoft, drone deploy
my question is .. which one do you prefer ?
Thanks a lot for your great and good tutorial video.
Thanks so much Jonathan for such an awesome video. I am just about getting the Mavic Pro such a similar work. Will it best fit for such a purpose and can it produce oblique images?
Get the 4 Pro if it's not too late. It has a better camera.
Thnx
Thank you, kind sir!
+JamoAerial no worries, feel free to join droneminds.com to get more specific detail or share your own drone stuff, if you haven't already?
Great video mate! Do you know if this works with the Phantom 3 Standard?
Cheers,
Al
+SIXEIGHTTWO We don't have the Phantom 3 Standard, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for that.
the program uses photos. so you can use even photos taken with your smartphone!
Really interesting stuff.
Do you know if there is any way to attribute any sort of scale to the model?
Anthony Bate Thank you. I think you can measure aspects of the model, but maybe only with the pro version in Agisoft. I know Accute3D lets you measure think in the model, and Pix4d has facilities for volume measurement I think. There's a bit more info and links on our forum here: www.droneminds.com/forums/index.php?topic=287.msg6718
Great video thank you. Question: can i do it with a DJI Mavic pro?
Very helpful thank you!!
Thanks, really glad it's been useful. :-)
Nice video, but how to make a 3d CONTURES with 1m ekvidistance in AutoCad from this model??? Is there some option to use this 3D points in dxf format?
So if my photos taken at different elevation (height), the alignment is still possible?
would you know ... if someone has created a map as you've shown, then sees a specific spot on the map and wants to visit that exact point on the real ground, how he finds that spot?
+garyn234 If you use the pro version of Agisoft I think you can export a KML file that opens in Google Earth.
Hey great Video!
How do you know which coordinatesystem you have to use?
Hi Johnathan, thanks for the detailed explanation! Would you know how could I calculate/measure distance or area once the 3D model is created?
+Kailash Naik Thanks. I'm not sure you can do that in the Standard version I was using, but you can in the pro version:
www.agisoft.com/index.php?id=36
+Drone Minds Thank you. I have been fiddling with the Pro software trial version, and the measurements aren't very straight forward. Should check out some other mapping softwares as well.
If you join the forums I can help more on that. www.droneminds.com
+Drone Minds I have registered, waiting for approval. Thanks!
Brilliant, been approved. :)
thank you so much for this very useful video!
I had a try on it, it is done but. I saw some sample online which I can just a click then can watch it online and can move it in 3d. How can it be done and which format should be exported if want to do so? Thanks for your sharing firstly.
There is a different program for sharing online, can't remember what it's called now. If you join the forums and post your question I think you can find out there. Droneminds.com/forums/
is it possible for phantom 4 to eqquiped with gnss receiver L1/L2 ?
The P4 has a glonass receiver inside, but you can't add another to it for RTK. RTK will be the next major step though, I'm sure.
Terima kasih from indonesia
Just wondering where you got the vinyl skin for your phantom from, cheers
Ebay, search phantom 3 decal/stickers.
very good video! tks
it's great,thanks!
What filter used for camara // Que filtro usaste para la camara
+Andres Mejia Manjarres none for this.
Where did you get those camo stickers on your phantom?
amazing!!!!Great!
Cheers. :-)
How much processing power do need for approx more than 30km2 area
nicely done!
Thanks.
thank you very much
do you know if i can do this with an DJI Mavic PRO, i a need a special camera?
Yes, it should be fine. You don't need a special camera, but it helps if the drone geotags the images for you, which it does.
do you need to use ground control points?
Muito bom! Obrigado / Very good.. thanks for sharing..
Great tutorial but why is photoscan telling me that he can`t load photos???I tried to load a folder too bud nothing happend??!? Please help
Really appreciated :-)
+Jacob Scordilis Thanks, that's great. :)
Based on your experience, what is the higest accuracy you got from your models?
+H. Ali Khater what do you mean by highest accuracy? Do you mean the way they look or real life measurements compared to the model?
Real life measurements compared to the model.
Thank you,
+H. Ali Khater with the dji p3 it's probably within half a meter, at a guess. You need ground control points for super accuracy.
is it possible to to use stills from a video as pics for agisoft
Thank you so much this video😊 Respect!
Do both versions, pro and regular, utilize geotags?
How does it calculate where there images should properly go?
Each image has information embedded inside it, including altitude(elevation), longitude, and latitude.
Would it not be better to record video in 4k and perhaps do a circuit around the object with DJI POI function?
You could then export as many stills as you need to keep improving the model.
not really, you can use frames from video but still images are geotagged and have elevation info which helps align the pictures. Using point of intetest and auto shooting images works really well though. POI wasn't available when I did this video.
Thanks for your reply. I am shooting my first 3D (non commercial) in a couple of days so I need to get my head around this process a bit more and your video was very helpful.
We are trying to 3d map a hill that was once an old mine so we can map out where the old mines shafts are.
Is there no way of using the dji flight log data to determine the altitude and position? Even if not in poi mode i would just keep the same altitude the whole time?
I don't really understand why you don't want to use photographs?
Ok good point. Probably because my background is from a tv and film camera history all my life, but also because I thought it would work better that way with the software. I thought it would be easier to shoot for this process like this because you can just shoot a poi circuit and decide which pictures would be best for the software when you get back to the computer rather than having to decide on the ground when shooting.
does that make any sense?
I will happily throw these ideas of mine out if you think it is much easier to just use stills.
thanks!
excellent tutorial... thank you
+Paul Davis thanks, hope it is useful?
+Drone Minds , it worked a dream...thanks again
Your the man!
+Charles Grosset Thanks. :)
Nice video. Can you export the model to Sketchup?
Thank you. I don't know, I never tried Sketchup before? What formats can you upload models into it?
Kmz, Skp, 3ds, ifc
3ds is one of the options. If you like you can join droneminds.com and start a topic on the subject, then I will send you a file to test and see if it work?
OK! thanks. I'll do that.
I made an account. How can I start a new topic?
Nice video, i can ask you but do you know if it's best to shoot in jpg or dng? thank you
It's up to you. You can make the photos look nicer easier with raw, but then it will take you a lot longer. You can't use raw directly in agisoft, so you will have to convert them the jpg first. Personally I always shoot everything in raw, but you don't have to.
Thanks for the answer, i tried and dg agisoft photoscan files me accept them without problems so if i do not mind the problem of having to convert them every time you say that it has dimlogic rigor you should use the dng? N as done i use a tyhoon q500 4k
can't view the pdf. I even made sure it was updated. Any thoughts?
not sure, can you join our forum and upload it there so i can try and open it? then we'll know if it's the pdf at fault or something to do with your computer.
Hello, Do you know if i can Geolocate the photos with the Phantom 3 Professional?
And then upload them to Google Earth?
should be able to, the p3 geotags images for you.
+Drone Minds Thank you!
good..
great agisoft converts formatted for auto cad ..?
Don't have autocad, but pretty sure you can.
+Gustavo e Joicy luna You can export .XYZ from Agisoft then you can use that XYZ file to import ACAD.
Autocad will also translate DXF (point clouds/mesh). DXF is actually native Autocad format.
Any chance we can get a copy of the data set?
Can you join droneminds.com and ask on there?
thank you sir
great!!
thanks for contribute
Thanks bro, smart
Thnks ,it helps me a lot🤗
How accurate can the software AgiSoft photoscan be?
+Hussein Khater it depends on how accurate the data is that you put in.
Hate the navigation? View -> Navigation Mode -> Terrain Mode. You can thank me later :)
tks
