    Terrain Mapping One Square mile ?

    it is my land to learn on, I have a potential client who wants a price to do 40-acre parcels, once I understand what it takes to do exceptional work then I will know what to charge, by the hour or per acre? just haven't figured it out, so far, its looking like $250/hour or $1500/40 acre parcel...

    Terrain Mapping One Square mile ?

    I will check the first snapshot was the 649 acres I just reset it to default 35.3m for Terrain Follow, it takes an hour or so to update the route, that was a shocker! to say the least. When it is done, I will check that value again. currently I see Ortho GSD 1.26cm/pixel , Oblique 1.77cm/pixel

    Terrain Mapping One Square mile ?

    well, I am learning, yes, I will be testing the Thermal also, I don't know how else to learn but practice and to just do it, it has worked so far at my age anyway. my error the ft values are corrected to m where I could see the errors, thanks for the feedback.

    sorry your correct 35.3 m is the default see there is a reason I post this stuff, thanks, I am probably the only idiot that makes that mistake, and I have been doing this a whole 6 months on weekends. so, default is 115.8136 feet which makes more sense, changing the value to 53.3 is 165.02...

    Terrain Mapping One Square mile ?

    hmm 2-foot-tall vegetation is more like it, wonder why the default is so low? thought there would be a reason. What is the recommended "typical" height in your opinion? I can search around for other demos and training; not sure they would be consistent. Perhaps after doing a 40-acre parcel or...

    Terrain Mapping One Square mile ?

    There are no roads there yet need to find and mark (log/Lat) for creek beds, cattle trails and rocks and sage brush, hills, big holes etc., potential well drilling require details to plan best access, there are no trees or buildings. Also need to pick up dirt bike signs if any and snake/critter...

    Terrain Mapping One Square mile ?

    I have a Mapping mission the will result in thousands of photos total. Normally I use WebODM which I have running in Docker on my Mac, the most photos I have processed was 1200 and that took a long time, I cannot afford Pix4D or any that charge for credits at this time. this is a list I will...
