    Coverage gaps using Drone Deploy, Pix4D, GS PRO

    By "report", I just mean the visualization of the camera locations over the ground. (see a sample from a P4P mission in Metashape below). I'm not saying you will have holes in your results. If you have suffient overlap, the missing images will not effect the results. But there are misses. I...

    Coverage gaps using Drone Deploy, Pix4D, GS PRO

    By all means, give it a try. But it will not solve the problem. Many have tried before you. The strategy that works is to fly with enough overlap so that a few missed captures does not degrade the processor.

    Coverage gaps using Drone Deploy, Pix4D, GS PRO

    The OP's question is in regard to missing images in grid pattern missions. If you do fly these types of missions using a P4P and don't have gaps, I'd love to see your image spacing report.

    Coverage gaps using Drone Deploy, Pix4D, GS PRO

    The P4P is known for this. As far as I know, the cause has never been determined. Like @Meta4 suggested, typically, 100' agl would be considered at the low end of flight height for good coverage. That said, you should be able to increase your overlap to negate any negative effect caused by...

    Just a little rant about amazon

    Unfortunately it is one thing that is similar between all types of society, democratic, socialistic, authoritarian. The wealthy or well-connected play by different rules. Part of the dark underbelly of humanism.

    Just a little rant about amazon

    I hate to break it to you, but it's been like that for as long as ...well,...ever. For example, do you see folks snubbing their nose at congressional supenas a lot lately?? You try it and see what happens. Golden rules.
