3D drone scanned model of stone groin off Sanur, Bali

Drone structure scan of a stone groin off the coast of Sanur, Bali using a DJI Spark and photogrammetry processing with AgiSoft PhotoScan.

Goal: Check out the effectiveness of the DJI Spark for mapping and structure scan, whilst on holiday overseas.
Tech: DJI Phantom Spark, AgiSoft PhotoScan
Conditions: Morning, sunny, moderate wind
Outcome: The DJI Spark is an excellent mapping tool. It is small, light, innocuous, has great range (this island was a good 300m off shore) and a good sensor.
