Photos collected for mapping missions can make great stereo photographs! These photo pairs can be used with simple stereo viewers to see amazing 3D views of your drone imagery. This is a great technique for illustrating some of the theory behind how we make maps from drone data. Take a set of these when you visit classrooms or to impress your clients and friends!
You can get an inexpensive card-style stereo viewer (designed by Brian May – yes, THAT Brian May!) from The London Stereoscopic Company –
In the US, you can get them from The Space Store –
I’ve posted some of the stereo pairs I created last year from some of the missions we flew with the Drone Lab. I mocked these up (thanks to Canva) to look like old-fashioned stereo cards like you find in antique stores. You can find these on the Drone Lab’s website at

More example datasets and written instructions for drone photogrammetry and lidar tutorials are available at the Drone Lab website
If you’re finding these videos useful, consider making a donation to the Drone Lab at the University of Idaho at (make sure you put “Drone Lab Gifts” in the Designation box). All donations to toward supporting the lab and drone-headed undergraduate and graduate students at UI. Thanks for your support!
