Recommended Overlap
Posted: Tue Nov 21, 2023 10:55 am
I am pretty new to the industry, currently flying a Phatom4 and looking into a Mavic 3 Enterprise RTK, I was wondering if there is a recommended overlap for these types of drones?
Hi Sean.
When it comes to drone mapping, overlap is a crucial factor that affects the quality of the resulting data. For photogrammetric mapping with drones like the Phantom 4 and Mavic 3 Enterprise RTK, a common recommendation is to use a minimum of 70% forward overlap and 60% side overlap.
Keep in mind that these are general recommendations, and the optimal overlap can vary depending on factors like the type of terrain, desired level of detail, flight altitude, etc.
