    Image Width 2048 The image width (pixels)

    Min fps 0.275 Frames per Second Minimum
    Photo Interval 3.636 Seconds Minimum Between Photos
    Sensor Readout 1.400 Milliseconds
    Displacement 3.000 Vertical Pixel Displacement

     

    To calculate how large an area on the ground the camera sees, look at the "GSD Frame H" and "GSD Frame W" values. These are the physical height (H) and width (W) on the ground that is captured.

    "Min Shutter S" is the minimum shutter speed you should use in order to not have blurred pixels. The lower the X value the brighter the images. Typically you want to aim for as fast a shutter speed (higher X) as possible in order to properly expose the subject matter.

    The "Photo Interval" is very important to follow, as you should not trigger the cameras faster than they can be triggered (since you'll miss shots and possibly have holes in your survey). Please check each camera's ordering page or main overview details page for each camera's specific fastest capture rates.

    While you can use less overlap we still recommend using 80% or more if possible. The value we calculate is "Front Overlap", meaning in the direction of the top of the sensor.
