SPEC Lab Community Drone Kits (CDKs) are designed to enable quick data collection over small areas using cheap drone technology and nearly fully automated approaches, enabling amateur drone pilots to collect visual imagery for post-processing in photogrammetric software, such as Pix4D. We have developed multiple versions which function at different price points, and with different resulting deliverable areas.
