Adam Steer<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ecoevo.social/@sarahdalgulls" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>sarahdalgulls</span></a></span> maybe estimate your average image footprint from camera params and height above ground, then rule-of-thumb it. Say your image is 50m along track, you flew at 2m/sec, your images are 5s apart. You're flying 50m every 25 seconds so in a sequence of images 0-5 you can drop image 1, 2,3 and 4 (this is off the top of my head, image 4 might be needed)</p><p>Similar for between lines assuming you flew a grid. Estimate across-track footprint, see what lines can be skipped.</p><p><a href="https://mapstodon.space/tags/dronemapping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dronemapping</span></a></p>
