ADU 01029: Expert Photogrammetry Tips for Improving Drone Mapping Deliverables - a podcast by Drone U

Understanding Photogrammetry Concepts for Professional Drone mapping

In today's show, you will learn some essential photogrammetry concepts that will help you build good-looking and lifelike drone maps and models.



Our caller, Jerry from Seattle, has a question about UAV photogrammetry for mapping and modeling. Can a poor understanding of photogrammetry affect your ability to build professional looking drone maps and models? If yes, what are the recommended camera settings for professional drone mappers?



To answer this two-part question put forth by Jerry, we first reveal that you cannot control the exposure triangle in certain drone mapping software. In this segment of the show, we discuss Maps Made Easy, Pix4D Capture, and Litchi App. Next, we share some practical ways of overcoming these limitations.



Why should you avoid shooting in auto-exposure? What is the best weather for drone mapping? And, why should you AVOID using linear rolling shutters, ND filter and UV filters in drone mapping?



For all this and much more, tune in to our latest show now. Thanks for the great question, Jerry. Fly Safe!



If you are unclear about the basics of the exposure triangle, you must check out Vic's course where we discuss the three pillars of photography - ISO, aperture, and shutter speed in great detail.
