Corridor Flight Plans
The corridor flight plan, which is free and available on all subscription levels, allows you to plan a linear flight path.
Easily map roadways, canals, utility lines, railways, or any other linear assets autonomously with the new Corridor mission type. Document assets and conduct inspections safely and remotely.
Planning a Flight
To plan a corridor flight on an existing project, navigate to the Fly tab at the top of the map. If you still need to create a project, you can learn how to do so here.
Select Corridor from the flight plan list.
On the map view, you'll notice two white waypoints representing the plan's start and end points.
Manipulate the waypoints to the desired start and end p int. Use the grey plus sign point to add vertices to the plan and shape the path.
Adjusting the Settings
Corridor Width
Adjusting the corridor width will increase the area processed. The dashed line represents the crop/processing boundary. To have a wider corridor with more passes, increase the width. DroneDeploy will automatically add legs to the plan to achieve the overlap needed for the mapped area.
A wider corridor = more legs:
Flight Altitude
Similar to corridor width, adjusting the flight altitude will affect the number of legs needed to complete the lane. For example, a higher plane altitude will need fewer legs, while a lower altitude will need multiple legs to capture the subject with complete overlap.
Processing Corridor Plans
Process corridor plans as you typically would with a Map/Model. If you choose to upload via desktop, head to the Upload tab. You should see an option for the linear plan that was flown. You can also select "New Upload".
Drag/Drop or Select your Corridor plans and Upload Images.
Once processing is completed, you should receive an email notification and other shared members.
View the linear plan in both 2D and 3D.
