@Rick, What control software were you using to capture the photos? I looked at the camera poses in alitzure, and it looks like a bank of photos from each cardinal direction plus a set of downward facing photos above the center. Did your control software allow you to run this as a single mission? Curious as to how you set up the run.
I've used Pix4D in a double grid, but I then have to cull the photos as there are always several that were taken in the direction of travel after the mavic has passed over the subject, so aren't of use to me and only add to my gigapixel count in altizure. I like your photo setup better.
Hi Peel
Flight mission management and post processing were all done using Altizure. The capture element of the App allows you to pre-plan a mission using mapping software (google maps so great quality) before you fly. Like Litchi allows you to plan missions beforehand, so Altizure allows you to set up missions too.
You start by dragging a four sided grid over your chosen subject area which is a direct over head shoot. You can fine tune the grid by grabbing the four corner markers to re-size the area which you can also rotate and move if you need to. This quadrilateral can be a square or a rectangle, but not a rhombus, trapezoid or parallelogram. You then set the height you wish to capture from, which automatically creates the amount of passes within that grid, so increasing or reducing the amount of images that will be taken, which can be further tweaked with the amount of overlap you want.
The clever bit are the four extra grids that are automatically created adjacent to each side of the central over head grid, where you now set the viewing angle, 40 degrees being the default.
The mission will start with the over head grid. Once completed, you are asked whether you want to hover in position or RTH. You then have the option of choosing any of the other automatically created grids which will complete one grid at a time, with the same options available to you as before upon completion of that grid. It's up to you how many grid passes you wish to make. During the process, each grid shows a progress bar. You can interrupt at any time as the progress will be saved. if you need to RTH for a battery change, you can carry on where you left off, even if that point was half way through a pass within one of the grids. There are no wasted or extra images to worry about.
Of the two examples I posted earlier in this thread, the first was a single over head grid and the second was a full five grid completed mission. I have removed another full mission I completed as it was rather large, ending up just shy of 10gb ! While the App will tell you how long each grid will take to fly, it doesn't tell you the amount of images it will capture. But, these images are captured totally autonomously and are only regulated by your choice of height and overlap.
Hope this helps.
