分享商业UAV展的经验
On 21 and 22 October 2014, the Olympia venue in London, UK, played host to the very first edition of The Commercial UAV Show. Around 55 exhibitors and 1,700 visitors arrived in London to learn more about UAVs and the various types of payloads, to network and to share their experiences. For geomatics professionals there was plenty to see and hear, both at the stands and at the seminars that were being held during the event.

来自Terrapinn的Lucy Bradley，该活动的组织者解释说，商业无人机展示响应了展览的需求，该展览旨在渴望更多关于无人机的知识和经验。参加活动的人的背景中的多样性反映了组织公司自己的背景，因为它专门用于组织各种领域的展览和会议，包括石油和天然气，电信和媒体，运输和物流和农业。
From a geomatics point of view the different types of payloads – Lidar, photogrammetry, thermal imaging – made a visit to The Commercial UAV Show more than worthwhile, as did the great variety in the seminars and the highly interactive conference programme.
Exhibition
Among the highlights at the exhibition were Sabre's 20kg-class HL-48 Skyhorse UAVs which have been designed from the outset to have useful payloads (up to 10kg) with a flight duration of up to 1 hour. The company uses advanced composite materials and 3D printing techniques to lighten and speed up developments. A visit to the Delair-Tech stand also proved interesting: the company, based in Toulouse, France, is contributing to the geomatics community with its airborne sensoring UAV packages, developed to monitor power lines, pipelines, railways, etc. The company’s complete UAV systems also enable topographic mapping of large areas using UAVs.
研讨会
在研讨会地板上，考古学是一个导致一些鼓舞人心的演示的主题。Wessex考古学的Paul Baggaley在用固定翼和多个转动器上映射考古遗址的演示文稿。他指出，无人机作为考古调查工具的重要性正在迅速增加，并且他设想了对无人机的LIDAR的需求和无人机上的地球物理套件。
Jamie Mettermaine，牛津考古学，举行了一个名为“无人机，考古观点”的演示文稿。专注于摄影测量，他提到了无人机和俄罗斯公司Agisoft作为游戏变换器。Acisoft造成了摄影测量的重生，QuartMaine。Photogram Metry本身是一项长期熟悉的调查技术，通过无人机的到来，这一新方法又有可能彻底改变调查实践的潜力。
Plenty to do and to see at The Commercial UAV Show
Fabio Remondino, who was written various articles for188金宝搏特邀，对研讨会剧院过渡的无人机技术审查了批评。他的Countryman Antonio D'Argenio也出席了他的公司Panoptes，无论是在展览和研讨会地板上。他走到了地板上向观众更多地解释了PV发电厂的地理空间鸟瞰检查。
结论
总之,商业无人机显示是well-organised, inspiring and widely accessible event showing significant promise for the future. Next year, the organisers aim to double the size of the show, which is scheduled to take place at the ExCeL Exhibition and Convention Centre on 20 and 21 October 2015. Bradley said she has high expectations for next year, given the huge response and many positive comments she has already received.
