Hi Community,

I get this question often from our collection team, do you guys have a suggested overlap?

[David Alamillo]

Hi Justin,

Yes, however, important to note that the optimal values for overlap (between successive images) and sidelap (between adjacent flightlines) are governed by photogrammetry principles, not Correlator3D. however please find a reference below:

For medium/large format cameras mounted on aircrafts, the overlap should be at least 60% of the image size. The recommended sidelap is 30%.

For small cameras mounted on drones, the recommended values for overlap/sidelap are 70%/50%.
