19.11.1. Pre-Flight Planning

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does AOI stand for in UAV planning?

   Hint

   Think about what 'AOI' identifies in a UAV operation.

2. 2.

   What is a typical percentage for image overlap in UAV flights?

   Hint

   Consider how much overlap is needed for stitching images.

3. 3.

   What does AOI stand for in UAV operations?

   • Area of Interest
   • Area of Inspection
   • Aerial Observation Index

   Hint

   It is associated with the geographical parameters of the project.

4. 4.

   True or False: The typical overlap for UAV flights is 50% for frontlap and 40% for sidelap.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider how overlapping images help in data stitching.

5. 5.

   You are planning a UAV inspection for a solar farm. Describe the steps you would take for pre-flight planning including AOI, altitude, overlap, and path patterns.

   Hint

   Think about the unique features of a solar farm that may impact your planning.

6. 6.

   Design a detailed UAV flight plan for a construction site audit that accounts for safety, efficiency, and data accuracy.

   Hint

   Keep in mind the construction site's layout and any obstacles that should be avoided.
