Oatmeal Field (370 feet) - March 31, 2018

The survey was conducted on an oat field about a week before harvest. Over the past few months, the field has been flying with RGB color cameras. The January soil map shows areas of different color that represent the different sandy washouts in the area prior to planting. Like much of the new farmland in the Valley of the Kings, the land at this site was originally desert. The DJI Mavic Pro used our Mavic Camera Mount to carry the camera during the flight and covered a 70 acre measurement in one battery. We took photos of the calibrated ground targets before each flight, and the software used for calibration and stitching into an ortho-mosaic is our MAPIR Cloud.

This flight follows our recommended measurement overlap of at least 70% front lap and 70% side lap, with a maximum speed of 5mph (8km/h) per 65ft (20m) altitude (AGL) for RAW+JPG mode hours) up to 10 mph for JPG-only mode at a speed (16 km/h) per 65 ft (20 m) altitude (AGL).
