We have a surveyor client that normally works in NW Oklahoma, where he lives. He landed a project here in OKC. He brought his new Trimble GPS unit so he could map out the target locations on a job we were going to fly for him. We just chatting and volunteered to show us the operation of his system. My business partner lives close by so he went and got his DJI drone, and flew my house. We just used crack in the concrete, or corners on sidewalks and various point we could see on the ground. We flew my house twice, and I combined all the images from two flights to "map" my house just for fun. It was insane high resolution, and we could measure the heights of the bricks. One of our Photogrammetry geek customers wanted som sample data to play with. He built a vector 3D AutoCAD line drawing of my house at 1:1 so I have an exact model of my house, and property, and crazy high resolution image of it. It is useless to me for any real purpose, except it is cool.
The Trimble was fun to play with and we just hand held things since we were not really interested in real science and not selling it to anyone.
