Creating Orthomosaic Using Drone Images

2023-02-13T21:21:00.000+08:00

In this article we will create an orthomosaic using drone images which can be used as an aerial view map of an area you intend to capture.

First of all, we need a drone that uses GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) for the aerial survey. You can use most DJI drones depending on the mapping apps that you're going to use.

Here are the mobile apps which can be used for mapping:

- DJI GS Pro

- Pix4D

- Map Pilot Pro

- Drone Deploy

- UGCS

- DJI Pilot 2

These are the common settings which we can find in mapping apps:

GSD: also known as Ground Sample Distance is usually measured in cm/pixel. Lower numbered GSD means better resolution and quality of images. Numbers less than 3cm/px are a good starting point. Also, flying height dictates the gsd resolution, higher altitude = high gsd.

Flight Height or Altitude: This will determine the gsd of your project. 60-120m (200-400ft) should be good altitude depending on how large the area you are going to survey. For small areas (around 10-50hectares), you can fly as low as 60-80m to get a better quality of your orthomosaic. For larger areas (50hectares or 120acres above), we can fly 80-120m to cover more areas on a single flight.

Overlap Percentage: This setting will determine how much part of an image overlaps the next image. More overlapping parts mean better output result. 70-80% overlap should be enough for good result of your project. Also, this setting will determine how many images will be captured in a single flight and how long the flight is going to be. Lower percentage means less images and faster mission completion.

After data acquisition or image capture, we can now gather all the images and process it on a mapping software like Pix4DMapper.

First, we create new project in Pix4DMapper

Enter a name for your project and click next.

On the next window we will select all the images captured by the drone. You can also drag and drag the images inside the box.

Just click next for the next 2 windows.

On the next window select 3D Maps

Click finish and the processing window should appear.

Select steps 1 & 3 then click start to process your images.

After processing, you should be able the generated orthomosaic.

The tiff file should be located where you created your project in the new project window. For example in this project D:\LARZ\Documents\pix4d\sav6\3_dsm_ortho\2_mosaic

AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR Features & Technical Specs

2012-10-29T10:16:00.001+08:00

COMPACT HIGH-PERFORMANCE 2.9X FX-FORMAT TELEPHOTO ZOOM LENS WITH AN F/4 FIXED APERTURE AND NIKON'S THIRD-GENERATION VIBRATION REDUCTION (VR). CAPTURE HIGH PERFORMANCE STILLS AND HD VIDEOS WITH A CLASSIC 70-200MM ANGLE OF VIEW (105-300MM ON DX-FORMAT CAMERAS). AN ESSENTIAL LENS FOR LOW LIGHT OR FAST ACTION SEQUENCES.

The essential telephoto zoom, more nimble than ever and with up to 5 stops of image stabilization.

Introducing the newest addition to Nikon's compact high-performance f/4 fixed aperture zoom lenses, the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR. Inspired by today's versatile HD-SLR shooters, it strikes an ideal balance between exceptional optics, advanced lens technologies—including our game-changing third generation of Vibration Reduction with up to 5 stops of image stabilization—and a remarkably compact, lightweight design. Whether you shoot with an FX- or DX-format camera, handheld or tripod-mounted, the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR delivers the serious telephoto zoom performance you've been seeking.

Take it everywhere

Lightweight, portable and highly versatile

At just 30.0 oz and a mere 7.0-in. long, the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR is well balanced and comfortable, even on long outings. Its f/4 fixed maximum aperture excels in low light and lets you maintain a consistent exposure while zooming, especially useful when shooting HD videos. The 70-200mm focal length range (105-300mm on DX-format cameras) has been the choice of pros for years, but for greater reach, add any of Nikon's teleconverters and achieve 1.4X, 1.7X or 2X magnification. The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR even focuses as close as 3.28-ft with a maximum magnification of 1.36x, so you can capture the smallest of subjects while maintaining a comfortable working distance.

Dazzling photos and HD videos

Advanced features for exceptional results

Optimized for capturing high-quality stills and HD videos on both FX- and DX-format cameras, the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR incorporates Nikon advancements in lens technology and optical design. It's our first third generation Vibration Reduction lens, which enables hand-held shooting at shutter speeds up to an unheard of 5 stops slower than would otherwise be possible. Nano Crystal Coat (N) reduces ghosting and lens flare; three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements provide maximum sharpness and minimum chromatic aberration, even at f/4; and the Silent Wave Motor (SWM) provides ultra-fast, ultra-quiet autofocusing with seamless manual focus override.

Cover every possibility

Build an exceptional f/4 zoom system

The AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR brings the telephoto zoom range to Nikon's high-performance f/4 fixed aperture zoom lenses. Pair it with either the ultra-wide-angle to standard AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4F ED VR or the wide-angle to telephoto AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR, and you'll be able to cover an extremely broad focal length range with f/4 speed, superior image quality and a compact, lightweight lens system.
