    In the process of route setting, the course overlap determines the number of images and the interval of photographing, and the side overlap determines the number of routes. Generally, the two overlap degrees can be set as the same. If it is necessary to reduce the amount of data or adjust the flight efficiency of a single flight, a single value can be used.

    Exception: when the standard flight height cannot meet the ground resolution required by the project, in order to ensure the ground resolution first, we can split the survey area and collect the higher area separately. When collecting separately, we can adjust the 2 times in the formula to 1.5 times, and increase the overlap to 85% to ensure the data integrity of the higher area;...
