[Qgis-user] Drone in agriculture

[Phil Wyatt]

Hi Przemek

I am not a drone user but I have seen some of the flight planning software and it will give you the AGL heights required for various image resolutions. There are also online services for stitching up the hundreds of images from flights. Check out something like the app Map Pilot from Maps Made Easy. That will give you a great start.

Any of the images created Maps Made Easy can be used directly in QGIS.
