Missions: Mostly for Videos or Can it be used for Photos/Mapping?

@Sam_G

The number of photos taken is related to the altitude of your and the overlap desired.
In Litchi, you can choose the photo interval based on time or distance (# of seconds between photos or distance between them).

I understand the number of photos will depend on how high the drone is flying and the camera FOV. I don’t understand if this is something that users are actually calculating on the side or simply trying to guess. How do you do it?

@Sam_G

I use a combination of this grid mission designer → https://ancient.land/
and Litchi. AncientLand (to set some parameters and draw a polygon to map) can then export a CSV file which is imported into Litchi.

If Litchi offers the mission creation tool, why are you using a external mission designer? What are the advantages of the AncientLand x Litchi?

@Sam_G

Like you said in your first post, Litchi does not process the captured images.

What are you using to “stitch” the photos together?
