The
Coverage Estimator
is a tool for quickly checking that a flight has sufficient overlap.
From the initial Coverage Page, select one or more image sets to estimate and click “Next”
(note: image sets must be geographically close together in order to work properly).
The Flight Adjustment tab should appear, and show a summary of its current estimation
settings. Camera Orientation indicates the directionality of the camera with respect to the
aircraft, as shown below.

The Flight AGL is estimated based on the GPS positions recorded for the images, with the
assumption that calibration panel pictures were taken near ground level, but if the estimate is
incorrect, you can manually enter the correct AGL.
The Estimate Resolution sets the quality of the output map. Low is sufficient for most
applications.
