Grid Planning
Once the area to be flown has been established the grid planning can be added. Select the
"Grid Planning" icon
to begin grid planning. A new window will populate to allow the
grid options to be selected.
Adjusting Grid parameters
The following steps depend on the payload being used, the height and overlaps are fully
adjustable to allow users to set the desired side lap, forward lap and height required to
conduct the survey and collect accurate data. On the left side of the screen the parameters
are located to edit the plan. Select the "Camera"
tab to change the parameter
options.
Camera settings
If you know the camera settings for your payload it is possible to add the focal length,
sensor width and sensor height. This allows the automatic settings for percentage side lap
and forward lap to be calculated depending on the height selected.
Shutter speed
To set the shutter speed (time between camera triggers) the "Photo Overlap" value can be
adjusted. The shutter interval time in seconds will be displayed live while the percentage
overlap is being adjusted. If the shutter interval time is too low, then the camera buffer may
block, and the camera will not be able capture images. For example, most Sony camera's
cannot trigger faster than 1.1 seconds, therefor while flight planning you would not go
below to 1.2 seconds, this will give the camera buffer time to continue taking images.
Route Angle
The Route Angle value sets the angle of flight path for the entire grid.
