Flight Planning Software for ArduPilot Aerial Mapping

Posted by Fouad Mahmud on March 1, 2011 at 11:03am

I am writing a software for ArduPilot aerial survey flight planning, I intend to make it FREE for download for DIYDRONES community. This software would be similar to commercially available programs for Micropilot based Cropcam UAV. I would like to know what kind of features you would be looking for. Your feedback would be very helpful.

    Hi it would be great if you could could work out the speed that the craft must travel at ?? height to be able to overlap the images by 60% given the focal lenth and footprint the camera will give at a certain height and also give you a flight plan based on the area that needs scanning

    Thanks George

    I am building a Y copter for arial survey and am also looking for a open sourced waypoint planner software. 

    If you have found one or completed your project please let me know.


    Cheers

    I would like to be able to click in a live feed and get an estimated LAT/LOG position for that target that I clicked on.

    What would it do differently than the flight planning tools we have now (QGroundControl, HappyKillmore's GSC, Mike O's Planner)?

    Having never seen a cropcam setup I'm not sure what the general functionality you are talking about is...
