TopoFlight is a 3D flight planning software which uses digital elevation models to calculate the position of every single image center. TopoFlight allows the fast and interactive design of flight plans. The inclusion of digital elevation models leads to best rest results and minimizes the amount of images and thereby the costs of any flight mission. Different export interfaces allow an easy transfer to almost any flight management system. TopoFlight can be used to plan photogrammetry and LiDAR missions and supports frame, line and LiDAR sensors. TopoFlight presents the results as maps and tables and can be used for calculating the project costs. Visit www.topoflight.com |
