If the User selects "Survey Details," you will see the following screen on your display.
On this screen, users can configure the front overlap value in percentage, side overlap value in percentage, turn-around distance, select the starting point from the drop-down list, set values for altitude, ground sample distance (GSD) in cm/px, speed in m/s, adjust the turn angle using a slider, enable or disable cross grid, add rally points, and import Ground Control Points (GCP) by using the CSV file import option.
Front overlapping and Side overlapping: The user can customize the front and side overlap values for images in the respective text boxes. The default front overlap is set to 0, and image overlapping occurs between each image. To aid in survey accuracy, a suggested configuration is provided, targeting 60% front overlap and 30% side overlap during the photo survey.
Turn Around Distance: The turnaround distance is the extra distance added outside the survey area for the drone to turn around. Users can specify the turnaround distance by entering the desired value in the provided text box. The default turnaround distance is set to 0.
Starting Point: In AeroGCS ORANGE, users can configure the starting point position as follows:
Top Left: Set the starting point position at the top left.
Bottom Left: Set the starting point position at the bottom left.
Top Right: Set the starting point position at the top right.
Bottom Right: Set the starting point position at the bottom right.
This feature helps adjust the starting position, especially when optimizing the location of a previously landed drone to conserve battery.
Altitude: Users have the flexibility to modify the altitude of the survey mission plan.
Ground Sampling Distance / Ground Resolution (GSD): Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) is the measure of the distance between two adjacent pixel centers on the ground, determining the resolution of images. Lower GSD values contribute to enhanced accuracy in image details.
Speed: The "Speed" parameter in the AeroGCS ORANGE Survey Plan determines the velocity at which the drone or VTOL aircraft will travel during the survey mission. This setting influences the efficiency and duration of the survey, allowing users to optimize their flight plans based on desired speeds.
Turn Angle: In AeroGCS ORANGE, users can adjust the angle of the polylines in the survey plan. Altering the turn angle will impact the parameters shown in survey statistics, and the specific angle change is displayed on the right side of the turn angle bar. Users can observe these modifications in the survey plan as they make adjustments.
Cross Grid: Enabling this option in AeroGCS ORANGE provides extended land coverage in the survey plan. While the time required to complete the plan increases compared to a normal survey, it effectively covers almost the entire land. This option results in an increase in survey distance, survey time, and image count.
Add Rally Point: Enabling this option allows users to incorporate rally points into the survey plan, enhancing safety and flexibility during drone missions. The violet-colored points in the image represent rally points, providing an additional safety measure for secure and smooth drone landings. In emergencies, these rally points enable the drone to land safely at the nearest designated point rather than returning to the home location.
GCP File import: users can import GCPS to the plan by importing the.csv file containing lat longs to add GCP points in the survey plan.
