Camera Focused Planning

Take UAS mission planning beyond traditional route planning

Shift the traditional focus on flight paths to focus on the actual objectives of the mission and what the UAV can see.

In many Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) missions, the camera is the primary sensor, capturing imagery, video or other visual data that is critical to the success of the mission. The quality and relevance of the data collected for surveillance, mapping, inspection or search and rescue operations depend heavily on how well the mission is planned around the camera’s capabilities and objectives.

Carmenta UAS Mission Kit helps you combine several of the advanced analysis and capabilities in Carmenta Engine to optimize flight paths, altitudes, angles and timing to meet specific imaging/sensor requirements. This approach shifts the planning perspective from platform-centric to sensor-centric, enabling more precise and efficient data collection.

• Field of View (FOV) Optimization
  Ensure that the camera’s coverage area aligns with mission targets, minimising gaps and overlaps.
• Altitude and Angle Control
  Adjust the flight altitude and camera tilt to achieve the desired resolution, perspective and image quality.
• Dynamic Replanning
  It allows real-time adjustments based on changing conditions or mission priorities, ensuring that the camera’s focus remains aligned with operational goals.
• Interactive 3D Camera adjustments
  Camera parameters can be fine-tuned directly in a 3D environment, providing instant visual feedback to ensure the expected result is achieved before the UAV takes off.

This sensor-centric planning approach improves data quality, enhances mission efficiency, reduces flight time and ensures operational success.
