Thanks a lot to you
@abant and congratulations for your WebApp.
This Flight Plan preparation and points generation is perfect for people who want to film or take still pictures of a POI or a path... it improves almost day by day depending on the users requests and you take all remarks into account ! Bravo !
I’d just like to propose a little correction (and of course ... I have a request for you ;o).
First, what is called ‘Flight Altitude’ seems to be in fact the ‘Flight Height above the Take-Off point’. The ‘0 m’ point is defined by the Anafi Barometer at startup/take-off.
The Altitude of my home take-off point for example is 196 m. the height is ‘0 m’
The flight height will be ‘30 meters’ for example, and the flight altitude will be 196+30 = 226 m. So we need to keep the ‘30’ above the ground, just change the label of the field to ‘height’ instead of ‘altitude’
That leads me to a request : in Google Earth (don’t know about google maps), you get the latitude and longitude coordinates of each way point, but you also get the elevation (altitude) of the point (see pictures below).
If you can get this precious information Of each point in your software, it would be great to make a flight path that follows the terrain elevation from waypoint to waypoint.
From google earth Altitude of my take off = 196 m, desired height of the path =30 m.
Next way point Altitude from google earth data is 199 m so automatically calculated height of the way point would be 199-196=3 + 30= 33 m
that would be a great way to follow the slope of the terrain for a orthomosaic photo (a grid path) ! This is something Pix4DCapture does not do !
You would of course need a radio button that states ‘
Good job anyway !
