Mapping the Matterhorn with Drones

Post by Mike M »

This is pretty cool. Drones are used to map the Matterhorn to create a 3D map in 6 hours.

The engineers also get to climb the Matterhorn. That's probably why it was selected as a proving ground rather than a local drive up hill.

Wow. Simply amazing. When do we map out Kagel and surrounding environs?
