POLLi ROW Image Collection Calculator

GSD-driven planning for individual image analysis

This tool helps you plan right-of-way (ROW) image collection with a drone. Choose the image resolution you need, enter your camera and corridor details, and the calculator shows the flight altitude, how much ground each image covers, how many flight lines you need, and how many images the mission will produce.

Ground Sample Distance (GSD) - Mission Quality Definition

Select your required image resolution. This drives the flight altitude and determines data quality for your ROW monitoring mission.

Camera Orientation Analysis

Select camera orientation to optimize coverage efficiency. Perpendicular orientation can reduce flight lines when the ROW width is less than the camera's ground coverage width.

Camera Orientation Relative to ROW:

Sensor Specifications - Hardware Foundation

Camera and sensor specifications determine the required flight altitude to achieve your target GSD.
