i have tested if we use photogrammetry standard formula GSD = flight height (m) / Focal lenght (mm) x pixel size maybe we cannot find GSD as report software like agisoft photoscan report software. but if we use this formula GSD = (sensor height (mm) x flight height (m) x 100) / (focal lenght (mm) x image height (pixel)) we can get result as like software report. for example i use DJI phantom 3 pro camera that focal lenght = 3.61, sensor height 4.62, image height = 3000 pixel and flight heigt 173 m, from mission planner i can get result GSD 7.38 cm, from calculation using the formula GSD = (4.62 x 173 x 100)/(3.61 x 3000) = 7.38006
I am a student at UW-Green Bay and have worked with one of my physics professor to come up with an equation for the situation which you are asking. The equation is below in the image and is based on the way you calculate resolution for telescopes. You will need to use this equation twice to calculate the distance covered in both the x and y direction.
There are few app (Android/IOS) and others desktop software to do that. But easy, is through MP.
In Mission Planner, on mission planner tab--> right click--> map toll--> camera.
In these menu, could you insert your Cam model, add your Cam settings (focal lenght, width/height in pixel etc), clear sidelap and overlap to zero, inserting your AGL and you should have your FOV vertical/horizontal.

IMHO, maybe useful
Hello,

I hope this helps!
brother where can i find focal plane?

Hi Matt,
you can download an excel grid on DronesImaging.com

You might find the Dimensional Field of View Calculator on this web page handy.
