Questions about using Grid and Facade missions for vineyard 3D mapping
Hello,
I am just getting started with DroneLink and I have several specific questions:
-
For creating a precise 3D mapping of vineyards on sloped terrain, I found the Grid Mission with Adaptive Ground Level (AGL) option. Can you confirm if this is the correct approach to obtain accurate mapping in this use case?
-
After completing this mapping, I would like to perform a facade-type mission, but with one important requirement: the drone should be able to follow the ground elevation changes. In DroneLink I found the Facade mode, but it does not seem to account for terrain slope. My requirement is to cover a rectangular area about 250 m long and 4 m high, keeping a constant distance of around 1 m from the vines, with a minimum AGL of about 1 m.
-
Can the Facade mode also be used to generate a 3D photogrammetry model (like Grid does), or is it mainly intended for inspection only? I would like to understand what is the best approach in my case: should I run a Grid mission first for mapping, then Facade for detailed inspection, or could Facade itself be used directly for mapping?
Finally, my drone is equipped with obstacle avoidance sensors. I will be supervising the flight on foot, but I would also like to ensure that obstacle avoidance remains supported in this type of mission for safety.
Thank you in advance for your clarification.
Best regards,

The terrain follow feature doesn't work with Facade, and even if it did, the tolerances you are talking about are way tighter than either the underlying dataset or the drone sensors can account for.
Dronelink does not do data processing.
