A successful result can only be guaranteed when: * fly with batteries in optimal condition. * wind- and gustspeed is not too high. * text/html 2019-03-25T11:36:24+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://kb.orbitgt.com/111/uas_mapping/introduction/camera_calibration?rev=1553513784 Calibration of camera Camera calibration is the process of estimating the internal parameters of the camera that deal with the camera's internal characteristics, such as, its focal length, sensor size, pixel resolution, and image center. Knowing intrinsic parameters is an essential first step for postprocessing your aerial data to high-accurate 3D maps. It removes lens distortion, which degraces accuracy. text/html 2019-03-25T11:36:24+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://kb.orbitgt.com/111/uas_mapping/introduction/eo?rev=1553513784 Position and external orientations Positions and external orientations at time of recording.

The basic requirements to use UAS Mapping succesfully are: * Imagery : The view direction of all images must be oriented approximately vertically down. * Camera : The camera must be calibrated before the flight.
