Different Tones in map Pictures

[JDS]

Hello All!

I have started up an Ag Drone business and I currently use a P3P for mapping our local farms in Northern Texas. I ran this field on Saturday and when I had the map processed, it had an antique tone to the picture. I looked though the individual pictures and noticed there were a number of pictures that had different tones from one to the other. I have attached a sample of two picture that are overlapped in the same run. Any ideas? I have not had this issue before.

There were no clouds and it was run about 1 pm in the afternoon.

The temp was high(96+), could it have been an overheating issue?

Maybe you have it set on auto white balance. Once you get your auto balance, lock it in.

WV.Rootman,

I will check into that! Thank you!

White balance issues will produce images that are too blue or too yellow.
I once had an issue that caused the auto white balance to wander even though the lighting conditions were stable.
This was the result:

The solution was to lock the WB in at Sunny or Cloudy rather than AWB.

It is the auto white balance. You have to turn it off for mapping. 1pm with sun at high, use a filter and set your white balance manually. I’ve had this problem before with the same machine. I would also avoid setting it to “sun” it makes the pictures look yellowish. The best advice I can stress to you especially if you are mapping is; filters

I can't think of any reason you would want to use any filters for a mapping flight.
Why would you recommend a filter?
What filter?
