Gathering Data for Processing and Generation of a 3D Model Using Pix4D Software
Gathering Data for Processing and Generation of a 3D Model Using Pix4D Software Data Collection: The purpose of this is to compare different data acquisition methods. There were a total of 7 crews flying a different pattern at different altitudes over the same shed building. The goal was to compare the different data collection methods and see which resulted in the best 3D model. I was a member of crew #7, along with my partners: Cameron Dine & Nick Phillips. We were tasked with flying the shed at the following parameters: Using Pix4D flight planner at 40m NADIR and at 40m with a lens angle of 60° For planning the mission Launch Pix4D Capture Select Your Drone Select a Mission from the Plan New Mission Page (Figure 15) Move, Resize, and Rotate the Mission so it Covers the Intended Area Set Your Altitude Customize Any Other Desired Mission Settings Save the Mission for Future Use Figure 15: Shows Pix4D New Mission Page Field Notes: When we originally set out to fly this m...
