FLIGHT DAYS

The Tivoli, the 1860s brewery that is now the Auraria Campus student union, and its surrounding quad, filmed and photographed from the air across three flight days, including an outdoor event on the lawn. Every flight was covered by a campus drone request signed by the requester, Campus Police and Event Services.

Scope & deliverables.

Capture

Three separate flight days under one authorization series, flown with a DJI Phantom 4 Pro – named “Phantom 4 Pro Plus” on the campus paperwork – with the FC6310 1-inch 20 MP RGB camera on firmware v01.07.1641.

The first day was the long one: 1,191 stills between 12:00 and 15:19 local, at a median 28 m above takeoff, 267 nadir and 924 oblique. Imagery only; no map product was made. The second visit was video, three authorized flights producing 20 raw 4K clips. The third day added 25 stills between 08:07 and 09:10 working from 7 to 88 m, along with the main video set.

Every flight sat under a signed campus request. Eight were digitally signed by the requester, Auraria Campus Police and Event Services, covering the Tivoli, the 5th St Garage, the 7th St Classroom, the Arts Building, St. Cajetan’s and the Regency Athletic Complex. Each named the aircraft, $1,000,000 hull and liability coverage, the pilot’s Part 107 and Part 61 credentials, a weather stand-down rule (no flight in precipitation, visibility under 3 statute miles, ceilings under 3,000 ft or wind over 20 mph), no flight over pedestrians, and two named visual observers. Conditions were daylight VFR throughout, with low wind and good visibility.

Deliverables

41 edited 4K clips (MP4, 2720 × 1530 export, 59.94 fps, 3–7 s each) and 32 raw clips, with 25 JPG and 22 PNG stills. Formats: MP4 (H.264), JPG and PNG.

Cadence

Three flight days under one authorization series; one-off as a project.

Method boundary

Aerial video and photography only. Nothing in this project is a map or a measurement: the images carry the aircraft's own position tags and nothing more. The material is suitable for communications, event coverage and a visual record of the buildings and grounds. Anything requiring measured positions or professional responsibility is routed through a licensed Professional Land Surveyor.

How accuracy was held.

Produced to a documented RGB photogrammetry workflow.

Not applicable, no measurements were made. What was held: the campus authorization conditions above (observers, no overflight of pedestrians, weather minimums), documented per flight.
