• Software for data analysis

SIRIUS is mainly used for the following applications: 

Documentation and Representation of: 

• Urban residential districts

• Construction sites

• Disaster areas

• Crop and forest damages

Survey of: 

• Developmental areas

• Meadows and fields

• Waste disposal sites

• Stone quarries

Area per flight

The area that can be covered during one flight with SIRIUS depends on the Ground Sampling Distance (GSD: size of area 

represented by each pixel in a digital photo): Due to the low flight altitude high resolutions of 1,5 to 10 cm GSD are 

typically achieved. In one 40 min flight one can cover:

In case of computation of pseudo orthophotos (65 % overlap in flight and 20 % in side direction):

GSD AGL Area per flight (pseudo Orthophoto)

20 cm 743 m/2438 ft 18.2 km2

10 cm 371 m/1217 ft 9.97 km2

5 cm 186 m/610 ft 5.12 km2

3.2 cm 119 m/390 ft 3.20 km2

2.6 cm 96.5 m/317 ft 2.65 km2

1.6 cm 59.4 m/195 ft 1.62 km2

In case of computation of digital elevation model/true orthophoto (85 % overlap in flight and 65 % in side direction):

GSD AGL Area per flight (true Orthophoto)

20 cm 743 m/2438 ft 8.67 km2

Please note: 

1. The actual imaged area is larger. The values given refer to the area that can be processed at full 3-D accuracy, rather 

than the area that was imaged. The border of the imaged area where 3-D quality decreases, is excluded from the given 

value. Values given are for optimal 3-D quality. Larger areas can be covered with compromises in 3-D quality. Reserve for 

low wind is included in the calculation. 

2. Values are given for single flights. If the area exceeds the range of one flight, it will be split automatically, which 

increases the capacity to up to 30 %, due to reduction of the overlap on the border between flights.

For testing purposes we offer two demo datasets for download under the following address: ftp://mavinci.de

Why choose MAVinci?

1. Work in mountain areas: 

Flight plan can automatically adapt to an elevation model.

2. Cover areas that require more than one flight: 

Save up to 30 % flight time for large UAS missions: Flight plan splits up automatically and rejoins for post processing.

3. Simple hand launch: 

The UAV is directly launched by hand, no catapult etc. is necessary.

4. Land in areas where automatic landing is impossible: 

If obstacles or the small size of the area prevent automatic landing the operator can easily land autopilot assisted. The UAV is stabilized by the 

autopilot and manually controlled by simple up/down, left/right commands.

5. Fly with a strong wind:

The UAS is fully operational with wind of up to 50 km/h (approx. 7Bft) with gusts up to 65 km/h (approx. 8Bft). 

6. Temperatures:

Operate the system at hot or cold outside temperatures from -20° C to +45°C.

7. Rain:

Use the UAS even under rain. 

8. Camera:

Our high quality camera performs exceptionally well under low light conditions. 

9. Safety:

Due to our high safety standards our UASs get flight permission e. g. in Germany, Spain and many other countries.

Mission Workflow

Our system was especially designed to be used by anybody with no prior experience with UAVs or model airplanes.

1. Flight Planning

Plan the flight by using the MAVinci Desktop flight planning software. The flight starts after the flightplan was transferred to the 

UAV.

2. Take Off

Anyone is able to handle our UAV: For takeoff, the user has to switch on the autopilot and throw it in the air.

3. Flying

During the flight the UAV autonomously follows a track that was planned before take-off. The on board camera takes images 

automatically, and the accomplished pictures are stored in an on board memory.

4. Landing

At the end of the mission the UAV lands automatically or in autopilot supported assisted mode.

5. After the Flight

After the flight the single pictures are postprocessed to one large image.
