15.1.3 Survey Statistics

On this screen, users can view survey statistics, including the area of the survey, the time required to complete the flight, the estimated number of images captured during the flight, survey distance, and distance from the land point to the land start, as shown in the following screen.

Survey Statistics

Survey Statistics will be automatically displayed on the screen, providing

• Survey Area- The estimated area for the survey is presented in this option, showcasing the covered area in square meters. Users can manually adjust the boundary points to stretch or shrink the area according to their requirements.

• Survey Time: The tool calculates and displays the estimated time required to complete the survey. The survey time is influenced by the cross-grid settings, which can be adjusted by the user.

• Image Count: The tool determines the number of images to be captured by the camera, known as "Image Count." The choice of the camera influences this count, and it also increases with the expansion of the survey plan area.

• Survey Distance: The Survey Distance represents the total distance the drone will travel on the survey plan. It is influenced by the cross-grid option and changes in the boundary points' positions, either stretched or shrunk, as depicted in the images above.

• Land Start to Land Point: In Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) drones, transitioning from flight to a safe landing involves several key phases. One crucial phase is the Land Start to Land Point, which represents the segment where the drone transitions from its primary flight mode (often fixed-wing) to hovering flight and ultimately touches down at the designated landing point.

• Take Off to Entry Point: This represents the distance from the takeoff point to the initial point of the original survey plan.

• Last point to Land Start: This calculates and shows the distance between the Land Altitude point and the last point of the survey plan.
