Ground Sample Distance

/in /by

This exercise deals with finding the Ground Sample Distance (GSD), or ‘spatial resolution’ for a given sensor with a given set of operational parameters.

At what  altitude above ground level (AGL) you will need to fly to collect imagery with 1.5cm GSD given a lens focal length of 18.8777 mm.

At that altitude, what is the maximum speed you can fly using 1/1000 shutter speed and still avoid image blur (per the DroneMapper tool)?
