Quick Surveying Assistant
This function is available as part of the Survey Package. Survey Assist offers a quick and easy
way to do a mapping flight over a rectangular area, directly from the Intel
®
Cockpit GCS without
any prior planning on a computer. To do so, the Intel
®
Falcon™ 8+ UAS is placed in one corner
of the area to be mapped, and the key parameters are entered: attached camera / lens
combination, desired ground sample distance, image overlaps, length of the lines and number
of lines. With this data, the resulting flying altitude and flight path is calculated and carried out.
An assistant guides the user through all required steps.
Images can later be processed with photogrammetry software as with any regular preplanned
mapping flight. More complex flights should be planned and performed with the AscTec
Navigator Software.
