Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A construction company wants to survey a site that is 500 meters long and 300 meters wide. They require a 70% frontlap and 60% sidelap for their UAV flight plan. Compute the necessary flight altitude if they aim for images of 5 cm resolution.
💡 Hint: Use the concepts of geometry to help you visualize how images will overlap and the altitude needed to achieve the desired resolution.
You are tasked with creating a UAV flight plan for a wildlife research project that requires geofencing to avoid specific protected zones. Outline the steps you would take to fulfill this requirement.
💡 Hint: Consider how to incorporate safety features into your planning process.
