      Yes I wanna have a security system in my area . Maybe two drones that swap out one another and charge . I live near Mexican border and get a lot of trespassers in my plot of land .

        Gay. Mine your property. Install autonomous flare launchers. Run around naked. Buy a blowgun and make ketamine darts. Rig up hundreds of infrared strobes to keep CIA Black folk out of your hedges with their spooky night-vision bullshit. Buy a komodo dragon using bitcoin and feed it your neighbors' pets and lost children. All 1000x better solutions than an RC plane with a camera and an arduino bolted to it.

    > surveys a area
    if you mean standing watch. use cctv cause the battery won't last.
    if you mean making a 3d map you're better off with blender and some map importing plugin.
    if you mean make a regular map, use the map on your phone.
    if you mean recording your surroundings you should be able to use some in app features to rotate around a spot.
    and if you mean reenacting that scene in prometheus when fifield maps the caves using his "pubs", then become a marijuana smoking geologist / astronaut and you'll think like one.

      >just use a phone
      frick off using a phone is the opposite of PrepHole

      Thousands of hours have gone into every app at this point. Every app is going to have some data scientist reviewing what you did even if they only see ones and zeros.

      Op is asking a software/computer question they would likely get a better answer on PrepHole PrepHole /misc/ /mlp/ PrepHole or even /po/ instead of asking you knuckle dragging failed contractors and diesel mechanics.

    Most drones use gps data logger, I would look up extracting gps data from a drone. Be careful not to spoof it. Spoofing gps data is a felony.

    Remember, by using gps you are utilizing the israeli space lasers. I hope you are not planning anything illegal anon.

    Rig up something with ardupilot + a fixed wing airplane with solar. Look up rctestflight on youtube for inspiration

    So do the Ukrainians and Russians.

    Pirate a book on:
    > GIS systems to learn about surveying
    >LIDAR systems to learn how it works and how to integrate them with off the shelf drones
    > FLIR systems, same as above
    > Image composting into larger images
    > Training AI to automatically identify specific objects and translate their locations and characteristics to your GIS systems
    > Drone piloting
    > Internet of things, to learn how to use python to automate drone flybys so they can do autonomously and not exchange signals with you that can be blocked or used to find you for an artillery barrage
    > Wireless communication systems, so your drone shuts up except when near its launch or rendevous location wherevit will relay info back to you, then either fly a pattern to obfuscate your position before doing another pass or land to be recharged/maintained.

    It depends on what you mean by "autonomously" and "surveys"
    We have a drone for work that will take off from a truck and fly a set area on its own. It will return to recharge or swap batteries on its own, but it needs some help sometimes determining the best route to take to get complete coverage efficiently.
    We get high-resolution orthoimagery from it (down to 1 inch possible) as well as LiDAR. As usual this data is only georeferenced as well as the initial GPS reading from a control point or points. We can transit our way to a control point and get a more reliable fix but this defeats the purpose of the drone.
    There are commercial products available but this was a homebrew by our resident electronics expert. It also cost $11,000 to put together including labor.
    The problem here is that the program can stitch together the ortho and put it in a shapefile or KML no problem, but LiDAR is notoriously heavy on processing time. We are looking into using AI to process LiDAR and augment that with the orthoimagery but this is a long way off.
    tl;dr assuming the usual PrepHole poster OP likely expects to press a button and have magic robot drone fly out and instantly give xim a 3D holographic map like in the movies. This is not going to happen anytime soon
