flight.parameters: Function to calculate flight parameters

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

# NOT RUN {
params = flight.parameters(
  gsd = 4,
  side.overlap = 0.8,
  front.overlap = 0.8,
  flight.speed.kmh = 54
)

# }
