A versatile QGIS plugin for drone flight planning, ensuring optimized flight paths and high-quality data capture.
GeoFlightPlanner
A QGIS plugin for precise drone flight planning, designed for photogrammetry, 3D inspections, and building facade mapping. It includes tools for terrain-following flights, circular paths around structures, and vertical facade mapping, generating CSV files compatible with Litchi or other flight apps and 2 QGIS Layers - Flight Line and Photos Points.
It generates CSV file compatible with the Litchi app. It can also be used with other flight applications by utilizing 2 Layers - Flight Line and Photos Points - for flight lines and waypoints.
This tool enables drone flight planning for photogrammetry, following terrain elevations and calculating lateral and frontal overlaps based on the drone’s sensor parameters.
This tool enables a simple drone flight planning for photogrammetry, following terrain elevations with manually defined side and front spacing values.
Tools for Vertical Flight Plan.
This tool is designed to plan vertical and circular flights, ideal for 3D inspection and mapping projects around towers and similar objects.
It enables the creation of an optimized flight path to capture detailed images of the object's surroundings.
Required configurations:
- Estimated object height: Defines the highest point of the structure to be inspected.
- Vertical spacing: Determines the distance between capture levels along the object's height.
- Number of photos per base circle (segments): Specifies the number of photos to be captured at each circular level.
The outputs are CSV file compatible with the Litchi app. It can also be used with other flight applications by utilizing 2 QGIS Layers - Flight Line and Photos Points - for flight lines and waypoints.
This tool is designed for creating vertical flight plans tailored for mapping building facades, ideal for architectural projects and building inspections. It enables the planning of a precise vertical trajectory with appropriate overlap and stop times for the drone, ensuring high-quality photographs and detailed mapping.
Configuration Details:
- Estimated Facade Height: Specifies the highest point of the facade to be mapped.
- Flight Base Line: The path along which the drone will fly in front of the facade.
- Position of the Facade: A reference point on the facade used to calculate overlap distances.
- Manually entered side and front distance
The outputs are CSV file compatible with the Litchi app. It can also be used with other flight applications by utilizing 2 QGIS Layers - Flight Line and Photos Points - for flight lines and waypoints.
