Agreed. I've made a very high resolution composite image from about 100 images with the drone at 80m above ground level, but flying the drone in perfect flight lines isn't easy. So I would really appreciate it if DJI will add waypoint mode for the Spark.
Looks very nice.
I was not able to fly using their app to do the capture using a flight plan.(Ctrl+DJI or Pix4Dcapture), need probably to read some more docs.
I just fly (circling) around the object (buried water tank) manually and took 62 pictures pointing to the object (1
battery, so fast). It was not high light so I add to tune to get a speed of at least 1/100 to take picture while flying. The first circle was at 1/30 but I had to stop to take each picture, I had to delete several, out of focus.
Finally, after long processing something comes out of Pix4Dmapper (Pix4Ddesktop 3.3.29) on the screen.
It is not that bad considering the few pictures I took. But it is almost the point of view from the Spark. If you zoom more, then the details becomes more ugly. Would need more pass closer to some of the concrete boxes and probably also a pass from the top in the horizontal plane above the object.
"Processed with Pix4Ddiscovery by Pix4D", no output enabled.
The point is now that it is the free version and apart screen-copies, there is no output enabled, so the use is limited as a free version, which is ok as you can rent it on monthly basis.
