How to set Front and Side Image Overlap

[Sean_Ladlow]

Hi, any assistance about how to set front and side overlap in Litchi?

Should be a fairly standard and simple setting.

Thanks.

I’m not exactly sure what you mean, but perhaps this topic will of interest for you:

Mapping/survey grid tool

This might be of some value to some people. It will Calculate the Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) and the image footprint on the ground by inputting values for the: Sensor width (Sw), Focal length (Fr), Flight height (H), Image width (imW), Image height (imH) This is in Excel Format.

Hi, thanks, what I mean is how to set the path and timing of images so that they are overlapped by a certain amount. For example if 50% side overlap and 20% front overlap are required, there would be a way to set the flight path accordingly?

The map automatically zooms when the drone is moving.

There are no mapping capabilities in Litchi. Check out the thread linked above by TriBar, there you will find a way to use Mission Planner to plan the missions, and then convert them to Litchi.

Thank you for these pointers, that thread will take some unpacking to get to what I want. See the attached, this is a screen shot of a very cheap app called Copterus. You can see the setup of a mission includes waypoints, direction, path and image overlap. It is a very big shame Litchi does not include this functionality.
