OpenDroneMap (ODM)
ODM is an open source command line toolkit for processing aerial drone imagery. Typical drones use simple point-and-shoot cameras, so the images from drones, while from a different perspective, are similar to any pictures taken from point-and-shoot cameras, i.e. non-metric imagery. OpenDroneMap turns those simple images into three dimensional geographic data that can be used in combination with other geographic datasets.

MapKnitter (MapKnitter.org)
is a free and open source tool for combining and positioning images (often from MapMill.org) in geographic space into a composite image map. Known as “orthorectification” or “georectification” to geographers, this step covers the process of figuring out where images can be placed on an existing map, and how they can be combined, or “stitched” together. You are likely to have many images of overlapping or identical areas, which is why MapMill or some type of sorting is used to determine which source images to use from the original set.
MapKnitter can make maps from any image source, but it particularly lends itself to making maps with balloons and kites. The manual process of making maps with MapKnitter differs greatly from automated aerial imaging systems. In those systems the imaging is of a higher precision and processed with spatial and telemetry data collected along with the imagery, typically at higher altitudes and with consistent image overlap in the flight path sequence.
With MapKnitter the cartographer dynamically places each image and selects which images to include in the mosaic. Although the approaches are similar in that they use some type of additional information (usually pre-existing imagery of a lower resolution) as a reference, and that they are bound to specific cartographic elements such as map scale and map projection.

Leaked drone footage purports to show Xinjiang prisoners blindfolded and tied up
Drone footage anonymously posted to YouTube appears to show hundreds of male prisoners in Xinjiang, western China, tied up and wearing blindfolds.
China has installed a 21st century police state in the region, where the US has accused Beijing of housing more than a million Uighur Muslims in "concentration camps."

Australia to use surveillance drones to enforce lockdowns and social distancing
The new invasive measures will be trialed in Melbourne.
Considering the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing is being universally advised and implemented across the world. While governments are urging their citizens to stay indoors and maintain distance when outdoors, not everybody agrees with and is adhering to the guidelines.
And Australia are taking things to the extreme with their approach and they’re also introducing tracking drones to enforce lockdowns.

Amazon Unveils Drone That Films Inside Your Home. What Could Go Wrong?
On social media, people had some concerns about the Ring Always Home Cam. To put it mildly.
When Amazon’s chief executive, Jeff Bezos, promised in 2013 that drones would soon be flying everywhere delivering packages, a miniature camera whirring through homes and recording video was probably not what people envisioned.
But on Thursday, Amazon’s Ring division unveiled the $249 Ring Always Home Cam, a small drone that hums as it flies around houses filming everything, ostensibly for security purposes.

Pandora's Box : Reflecting on 20 years of drone targeted killing
https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=YgeL1RWW8Gw
On 3rd November 2002, a US #Predator drone launched two missiles at a vehicle travelling through the desert in Marib province, #Yemen. The drone’s target was al-Qaeda leader Qa’id Salim Sinan al-Harithi and this was the first of what has proved to be two decades of US drone targeted assassinations ‘beyond the battlefield’. An untold number of such operations have taken place across the globe since, with a significant number of such strikes causing serious civilian casualties. Despite public controversy and grave legal and ethical objections, the practise has spread among other drone operators including the UK, #France and Turkey.
#Drone #Wars invited a number of experts to mark 20 years of drone targeted killings, to offer some reflections on the human, legal and political cost of the practice and to discuss how we can ensure that drone operators abide by international law in this area

With Drone Strike, the Occupied West Bank Could Turn Into War-Ravaged Gaza - June 2023
#Elbit #Drone
Last week, the Israeli military killed three Palestinians in its first aerial drone strike in the occupied West Bank in nearly 20 years — marking a grave escalation in state violence against the territory.
Using an Elbit Systems Hermes 450 drone, the military struck a vehicle in Jenin carrying Palestinians suspected of fatally shooting four Israelis the day before. According to the Israeli military, this was the first drone strike since 2006 during the Second Intifada, or Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation.
Drones have been mainly used in the West Bank for intelligence and surveillance purposes. Yet last September the rules changed when Israeli Army Chief of Staff, Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi, approved the use of armed drones for targeted killings in the West Bank. Amid the army’s announcement, reports emerged the military was already preparing units to operate armed drones during raids.#Elbit #Drone
