Understanding Histograms, Mean & Standard Deviation in Drone Mapping & 3D Point Cloud Analysis
Statistics are the mathematical backbone of wildlife conservation and ecology. They allow researchers to estimate population sizes, track migration patterns, understand animal behaviour, and evaluate the impacts of environmental changes or human activity on...
Why I still use the DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2 in 2026
I started out my drone journey using the DJI Spark. Bought while working on farms in Australia to film and photograph my adventures in the beautiful Aussie Outback, I never thought this compact little pocket sized bumble bee would be the start of a career shift into...
Fast Preliminary 3D Models & Reports for Dam Site Surveys
In the past I did a number of preliminary dam site survey scans for the local municipality. At the time they were looking to construct new dams for farmers that were expanding due to population increase to the region; more people= more crops = more water. I would...
Let your own creativity fly
“So here’s a thought, what is the point of learning open source? Why not just do an ESRI or ArcGIS course?” I found myself asking myself a number of years ago before I went face first, full tilt down the open source software rabbit hole. This was long before I had...
What are the costs of NOT using technology based solutions for field data capture?
Have you ever wondered how much technology actually saves a project? Well, the data is in! Here GeoWing Academy looks at a real world project that was done and compared traditional field data capture methods using pen and paper versus using a cutsomised, project...
A Deep Dive Conversation About GeoWing Academy
In this deep dive conversation, we unpack what it is that GeoWing Academy is all about! What the mission is, what its all about and how easy it is for anyone and everyone to upskill themselves in all things drones and GIS.
Using Drones & GIS to Monitor the Cape Dune Mole Rat
The cape dune mole rat is an interesting creature. Mole rats usually live in social colognes but not the large Cape Dune. These fellas are viciously territorial, liver on their own and love keeping to themeselves. By looking at cape dune mole rat behaviour observed by...
How drones, AI & Open Source Software can be used to combat Alien Invasive Plants in South Africa
Alien Invasive Plants (AIP) have become a major threat to South Africa's sensitive Fynbos biome. In 2017 and 2018, fires in the Western Cape region killed 8 people and destroyed over 2000 homes and devastated biodiversity in the region. The intensity of these fires...
Can RGB Drones & Machine Learning Be Used for Crop Health Analysis?
ere Machine Learning and RGB drone data for plant health? GeoWing Academy decided to take a look at how effective using a custom built machine learning pipeline and RGB derived plant health indices for crop health analysis. The results are SUPER interesting! A...
