Setting up a route
Laptop w/ Ground Station open
1) Watch the “Setting Your Scout Route” video on the Youtube channel.
2) Locate the field you wish to fly within Ground Station.
◦
Tip: There is a search box in the upper left-hand corner of Ground Station
that you can use to locate your field easily. Simply use it to search for a
nearby address or latitude and longitude.
3) Go up to Toolbox, and click “Photogrammetry Tool”
4) Make sure the settings are correct:
◦
Focal Length = 35mm
◦
Sensor H = 47mm
◦
Sensor W = 82mm
◦
Fly Height = 122m
◦
H Overlap = 60%
◦
W Overlap = 60%
◦
H Speed = 10 m/s
◦
V Speed = 2 m/s
Note: If you are having issues getting photos to align in later steps, increase
the overlap and decrease the horinzontal (H) speed. Never fly at less than
60% overlap, and never fly faster than 10m/s.
