    What do you all use for "Checkpoints" during mapping missions?

    So it's my understanding, from our Pix4D instructional class, is that GCP's and check points are independent of one another. For GCP's we are using 2x2 circular targets (more or less look similar to a landing pad). I don't quite see what the point of using both is honestly since our GCP's are...

    Perhaps, might be a little small to be picked up at altitude. At least the ones that I am seeing on google seem small.

    Gotcha. As far as I know, our Pix4D instructor is against using scale constraints after running into a lot of issues with it so we are solely relying on GCP's at this point.

    What do you all use for "Checkpoints" during mapping missions?

    Greetings! We will be using GCP's which will be measured independently with our Total Station surveyor and then input into Pix4d. As far as I know, we will not be using scale constraints within pix4d but I will have to clear that up. The "check points" as far as I know, will strictly be used to...

    What do you all use for "Checkpoints" during mapping missions?

    Hello, I work in Forensics for law enforcement and I am currently establishing policies for our drone missions. Predominantly, we will be using our drones for mapping of large scenes to supplement our laser scan data. With our laser scans, we validate them with an object of fixed and known...
