  2. for Android is now in the later stages of a submission to F-Droid.

    If approved, this would allow users to download from a trusted 3rd party which rebuilds everything from source. Their reproducible builds provide an independent verification that our apps are built exactly as appears our public source code.

    We believe users deserve software they can trust, achievable only though

  3. Theta Informatics stands ready to assist with Maui Wildfire recovery efforts.

    Our free software, for Android, allows a precise ground location to be obtained from any point in an image taken by common . This may be useful for quickly marking damaged buildings, structures, and infrastructure from aerial images taken by drones.

  4. for Android v0.17.1 alpha is out now on GitHub and Google Play!

    github.com/Theta-Limited/OpenA

    This version fixes an accuracy issue which affected all Autel Robotics drone models. It also adds support for high resolution drone images.

  5. We're also making it easier to add support for new makes and models of drones across all products using this data file:

  11. Didn't think it was really necessary, but anyways the Apple App store requires a privacy policy for any app.

    It's easy to write because we don't collect any data.

  12. Got some test images of a Mini 3 Pro today, it appears the latest firmware is compatible with for Android.

    Still need to test if the camera properties are correct, but should be usable now if you have a and would like to try:

  13. Compass calibration improves accuracy dramatically. You don't have to do it before every flight, but you definitely should whenever you move to a new environment (which has subtly different magnetic field):

  14. I've noticed that accuracy for is degraded if your drone's compass sensor is not calibrated. The Azimuth can be off by as much as 15-20° (!!!)

  15. I just published a minor update, for Android v0.15.1 fixes support for older DJI models such as the Phantom 4 and Phantom 4 pro:

    github.com/mkrupczak3/OpenAthe

  16. Took some test pictures today for , using a DJI Mavic 2 Zoom

    Results were very good! I'm very excited to release v0.15 of OpenAthena for Android soon

  17. I'm releasing a preview version v0.15.0 of for Android to get feedback from drone pilots.

    The software allows you to tap to locate any point in a drone image. Your feedback will improve accuracy of the app.

  18. I've been testing a new "tap to geo-locate" any point in a drone image feature for for Android.

    This feature will be available in v0.15 alpha upon release.

    github.com/mkrupczak3/OpenAthe

  19. for Android v0.15 is on its way, with support for geo-locating any arbitrary point in a drone image.

    I tested with a Mavic 2 Zoom and Skydio 2 and have been satisfied with the results

    The project is free and

  20. I just released v0.14.0, with localizations for Korean, Japanese, Chinese, French, Russian, and Ukrainian languages

    I am seeking feedback on the quality of these translations

    github.com/mkrupczak3/OpenAthe

  21. Sneak peek of v0.14.0:

  22. I just published for Android v0.13

    The User Interface is now much easier to use, and the app now automatically adds calculated targets to ATAK (if you happen to have it running)

    github.com/mkrupczak3/OpenAthe


  23. for Android is coming along well, with some significant UI improvements staged for v0.13.

    I'm also currently working on implementing the Cursor on Target message compatible with DoD systems like ATAK

  24. I made a video demo showing the improved interface and new coordinate system modes in v0.12:

  25. I got a build working for @fdroidorg
    , I've made a Merge Request for its inclusion to that app store:

  26. If you'd like to contribute to the project, one of the best ways is to email me a .zip containing some JPG's taken by your make and model of .

    All the different data formats and manufacturers can only be understood with solid example data

  27. for v0.9-pre-alpha is out now. This version adds support for and in addition to

    Get it free at OpenAthena.com

  28. I've been encountering some very troubling results using a Mavic 2 Air for testing .

    On old firmware versions, the drone incorrectly reports its altitude a few hundred meters below terrain, in both XMP and EXIF metadata

  29. I just published for v0.7-pre-alpha. In this version: a click-able link and copy-paste is provided for target location in large font:
