Flight Planning

We define the survey boundary, set 80/70 image overlap, configure shutter speed, and plan the autonomous polygon mission.

Data Processing

Emlid Studio applies PPK corrections to image geotags. Pix4Dmatic runs photogrammetry to generate DSM, point cloud, and orthomosaic. Accuracy verified via RMS error report.
