Some of the points to consider are weather patterns, potential obstacles in the flight path, and distance to be covered. Remember most DJI batteries realistically power drones for about 20 minutes before requiring replacement or recharging.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Data acquisition<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As the drone conducts an aerial survey of the area along its flight path, its cameras collect valuable data. Depending on the type of data required, it\u2019s possible to use specialized devices such as infrared cameras and <a href=\"https:\/\/support.dronedeploy.com\/docs\/ndvi-cameras-for-drones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NDVI sensors<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Area mapping<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Several overlapping images captured by the drone are stitched together to form 3D models and maps. For survey missions that require a quick grasp of the area, Terra can generate 2D orthomosaic maps in real time. This gives the pilot a more detailed flight plan, which allows for faster decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>3D reconstruction allows a better understanding of areas under survey, especially in the wake of weather calamities and industrial accidents.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Data analysis<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Terra analytical tools make it easier to acquire coordinates, as well as to measure distance, area, and volume. They also allow you to edit past labels on existing measurements, which improves the map\u2019s accuracy. High definition photos can be inspected closer to determine whether any features stand out in the real world.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Terra is compatible with many DJI drones, including the following in the Phantom 4 series: Phantom 4, Phantom 4 Pro, Phantom 4 RTK, Phantom 4 Pro V2.0, Phantom 4 Pro + V2.0, and Phantom 4 Advanced.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Support for this series seems to be a top priority, despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/4\/26\/18519255\/dji-deny-discontinue-drone-phantom-4-5-mavic-2-pro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">persistent rumors<\/a> that DJI had discontinued the Phantom 4 line.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2><strong>Mission types<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4300\" src=\"https:\/\/bestdroneforthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Terra-Mission-types-800x440.jpg\" alt=\"Terra Mission types\" width=\"500\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestdroneforthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Terra-Mission-types-800x440.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bestdroneforthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Terra-Mission-types-768x422.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bestdroneforthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Terra-Mission-types-510x280.jpg 510w, https:\/\/bestdroneforthejob.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Terra-Mission-types.jpg 857w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Terra enables you to plan three types of automated missions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Waypoints mission<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This uses pre-set waypoints and variables such as altitude, speed, and gimbal pitch angle to set a flight path. Flights can also be planned using existing 3D models.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Area mission<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It allows the pilot to quickly draw a polygonal shape on the area to be surveyed. Terra then analyzes it and comes up with the most functional flight paths.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Oblique mission<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After flying various missions, the data collected is analyzed and transformed into a 3D model.
