Objective
The main preface of this mission was to conduct mapping mission and a fly over to practice basic key features. We flew the Mavic 2 Pro platform at different altitudes nadir to the ground and took pictures demonstrating the focal points of the pixels for the 3D scanning. We flew at 180ft AGL, with in the given RED boundary, in an opposing grid lines & parallel ‘lawn mower’ grid pattern. This displays the difference in resolution and the end product difference when the same scan is taken with different settings.
Location
Our main base of operations was at the Purdue turf farm. This location had some hazards to be aware of like trees on the east and south side, electrical lines on the south side, and sports stadium lights on the west side. The ground was a little damp, but dry enough to have landscapers conduct normal operations like mowing.
Hazards
Electrical Wires & Trees: South Side
Sports Stadium Lights: West Side
Trees & Buildings: North Side
