Mission 07

Fix the Flight

Datasets D and E were ruined in the air. Diagnose E, then design the re-flight that fixes both.

Design the corrective flight

Start from the settings that produced Dataset D (40 m, 35/37% overlap). Change the experiment back to the standard so the SITE is the only thing that changes.

Altitude40 m

GSD ≈ 1.4 cm/px

Front overlap35%

Side overlap37%

Lock altitude for the whole mission (terrain/manual changes off)

Not yet Altitude locked for every line (no manual segments) — fixes Dataset E.
Not yet Altitude at the class standard (≈60 m) so GSD matches other weeks.
Not yet ≥ 90% of the site seen by 9+ images (now 1%) — fixes Dataset D.
OK Fits one battery (2 of 25 min).

Why not just process harder?

Coverage and altitude are decided in the air. No processing setting can create viewpoints that were never captured.
