Another interesting week on DroneLab

Just a quick post to highlight the range of datasets that people have been uploading to the platform this week. It's not just drones that generate very large image files! 

First, this old aerial photo from Dunkirk was shared on Facebook earlier in the week. The dataset has been created from a series of images obtained from the IGN (Institut national de l'information géographique et forestière) 

 In this project, images were obtained from an aerial campaign carried out in 1949 on the city of Dunkirk, in northern France (171 shots), which allowed the creation of an area covering 4900 hectares at a resolution of 11 cm. 

 "A delicate and imperfect exercise (in) some areas but the result remains very satisfying for applications of cadastre or archaeology". 

  

Here's a link to the original article which contains a link to the project on the DroneLab website...
