Hi Folks,
I'm getting into photogrammetry for CG and and thinking that drone flight would be a great option for those hard to reach projects. I know that several drones have a programmable flight path, but exactly how programmable is it?
In this image, if I wanted to take imagery of the particular section of a cliff face, would I be able to plot a flighpath in 3-dimensions (blue line)? I've seen 2d flight paths being plotted in youtube videos but I'm unsure about 3d.
Also, would I be able to programmatically control the roll/pitch/yaw of the camera along the path? Could I create focal points where the camera is always aiming at a specific area? Ideally, I'd pre-set a flight path (blue line) and a set of camera control points along that path (red line) and hit go.
Is something like this possible with professional-quality drones? Thanks so much for your help!
