Pteryx UAV explained

Pteryx UAV
Aircraft Type:UAV
Aircraft Role:Photography
National Origin:Poland
Manufacturers:Trigger Composites

Pteryx UAV[1] was a Polish Miniature Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) designed for civilian use. It was manufactured and sold by Trigger Composites.[2] The machine was both a flying remote control (RC) model and pre-programmed vehicle. It was awarded the Innowator Podkarpacia medal for innovative design in the category of micro-enterprises of the Podkarpacie region in 2010.[3]

Origin

The Pteryx UAV uses a custom derivation of the FLEXIPILOT software, designed by Aerial Robotics engineering group[4] for photomapping purposes and civilian use.

The avionics and flying platform are capable of full operational capability without using an active transmitter or ground station.

Capabilities

The camera mount contains either pre-installed compact digital camera or can be exchanged for other equipment.

The camera can be mounted down-looking (nadir photography) or side-looking (oblique photography).

The whole head can be tilted in flight using the RC transmitter, while reducing stabilization travel to one of the sides.

Capabilities

Camera

The aircraft provides positions of the photos taken, and has storage for 8000 events.Ground-projected positions include the following error margins:

Typical orthophoto map precision (mean reprojection errors):

Data processing strategies

Several data processing approaches are possible depending on application:
