RedEdge-
MX
Integration Guide Rev 01
■
In overlap mode, when the aircraft climbs to within 50 meters below your
target altitude, RedEdge-MX will start capturing and only take a capture if it
has traveled forward enough distance to ensure the overlap percentage you
have specified. When the sensor's altitude is below 50 meters from the target
altitude, the sensor stops capturing. Overlap mode only calculates the forward
overlap, and cannot account for the side overlap, which must be calculated in a
flight planner, using the sensor’s field of view to create an appropriate row
spacing.
■
We recommend this mode because it helps ensure proper overlap (75% or
higher), which is essential in order to produce high-quality output when
processing the data in standard photogrammetry software.

Timer Mode
■
When in timer mode, RedEdge-MX will capture according the timer period
(which is every two seconds by default). If the timer period is set to less than
one second, the sensor will capture as quickly as it can (about once every
second). The capture rate is heavily dependant on the write speed of the
attached storage device.
