If you intend to collect drone data for creating a 3D model of a tower, there are some general best practices you might want to consider. Some of the general dos and don’ts include:
In general, you might want to use a combination of two or three Drone Harmony patterns for best results. Here are some combinations that we know can work well.
Example 1
Example 2
In case additional detail is needed around the antenna levels (e.g. is the antenna components need to have high detail in the model), you can additionally or alternatively use the following missions.
In general, the exact type of mission that is suited for your needs might depend on the environment and the purpose of data acquisition. If, for example, the tower is hard to walk (circle) around, a “Verticals” mission might be better than a “Helix” mission, in case visual line of sight must always be kept with the drone.
