flight.parameters: Function to calculate flight parameters

In flightplanning: UAV Flight Planning

Description

This function will calculate the flight parameters by providing the camera settings target flight height or gsd, front and side overlap.

Usage

flight.parameters(
  height = NA,
  gsd = NA,
  focal.length35 = 20,
  image.width.px = 4000,
  image.height.px = 3000,
  side.overlap = 0.8,
  front.overlap = 0.8,
  flight.speed.kmh = 54
)

Arguments

height	target flight height, default NA
gsd	target ground resolution in centimeters, must provide either 'gsd' or 'height'
focal.length35	numeric. Camera focal length 35mm equivalent, default 20
image.width.px	numeric. Image width in pixels, default 4000
image.height.px	numeric. Image height in pixels, default 3000
side.overlap	desired width overlap between photos, default 0.8
front.overlap	desired height overlap between photos, default 0.8
flight.speed.kmh	flight speed in km/h, default 54.

Examples

params = flight.parameters(
  gsd = 4,
  side.overlap = 0.8,
  front.overlap = 0.8,
  flight.speed.kmh = 54
)
