#DRONE DEPLOY ELEVATION UPDATE#
Seeing a live 2D map is most helpful for construction workers who want to see a live update of their construction site, or for farmers who want to see a live update of an NDVI of their crop fields as the drone is flying. Live Map HD – Live Map HD allows you to see your 2D orthomosaic map being generated in real-time in the DroneDeploy application on your smartphone or tablet while the image capture is taking place. If you plan on using your map to generate a 3D models, you definitely want to turn on this setting. This captures additional data that is used for adding in the textures of buildings and rendering a more accurate 3D mode. After completing the flight plan, your drone will tilt its camera at a slight angle and fly around the perimeter of the property. You see, higher resolution doesn’t necessarily equal higher quality.Įnhanced 3D – Enabling Enhanced 3D allows your drone to capture additional imagery for generating higher quality 3D models. While flying lower may provide a higher resolution map in terms of imagery, DroneDeploy themselves actually recommend you fly higher to improve your map quality. Here are common flight altitudes and how high of a resolution map they will generate:
The lower the number, the higher the resolution of the map. Map resolution is measured in “inches per pixel,” or how many inches of ground fit into one pixel of an aerial photo. Depending on the number of acres in your Map Plan, DroneDeploy offers a recommended altitude. Having a lower flight altitude will take longer to fly, but it will increase your map resolution.
Here is an explanation of the different preferences:įlight Altitude – Flight Altitude is how high your drone will fly AGL and determines the final resolution of your orthomosaic map. DroneDeploy Map Plan Flight SettingsĭroneDeploy allows a variety of preferences to customize your map detail, resolution, and images that will be captured. You want there to be a safe buffer between the edge of the flight plan and your property.įinally, you want to customize your flight preferences to make sure you capture the best data for your project. DroneDeploy recommends “overflying,” or creating your flight plan so it extends beyond the edges of your property. You can click on the grayed out circles at the center points of line segments to add additional points and customize your flight plan to match the shape of your property. Click and drag on the circles at the corners of your extend your flight path to cover your entire property. įrom the left-hand menu, select ‘New Map Plan’.ĭroneDeploy will place a new square box on the screen which will be the start to your new automated flight path. Then click ‘ Create project here ’.Įnter a name for your project and click ‘Continue’. Drag and position the box so it is directly above your property. DroneDeploy will place a box on the screen in the general location of the address you entered. To create a flight plan, log into your DroneDeploy account and select ‘ New Project ’ in the top left hand corner of the screen.Įnter the address of the property you’d like to fly. You can adjust the resolution of your map and even enabled enhanced 3D for more accurate and detailed 3D models.
You have different options when creating your flight plan too.
