Flight Route Missions

Waypoints

Set a waypoint ight path, then dene waypoint actions for each waypoint.

Mapping

DJI Terra automatically generates efcient ight paths after user has set their required ight area and camera parameters. The aircraft will then follow this route throughout

its mission. Real-time 2D mapping or real-time 3D point cloud (of low accuracy) during a mission can be enabled. After the mission is complete, users can also import the original images into DJI Terra for 2D map reconstruction or 3D model reconstruction (of high accuracy).

Oblique

This function automatically generates five flight paths after users have set their

required ight area and parameters. These include a single ight path with a gimbal

pitch angle of -90°, indicating a downward facing direction. Subsequently, this is followed by four flight paths with a customizable gimbal pitch of more than -90° to capture photos from multiple angles such as forward, backward, leftward, and rightward. After the mission is complete, users can import the original images onto DJI Terra for 3D model reconstruction of different resolutions.

Corridor

DJI Terra automatically generates corridor ight area and several independent

flight paths after the user has set the corridor points, expansion distance, and

ight band cutting distance. After the mission is complete, users can import the

original images into DJI Terra for 2D map or 3D model reconstruction.

Detailed Inspection

DJI Terra automatically generates waypoints to make up the inspection ight path

after the user has imported models from 3D reconstruction results using DJI Terra

or third-party LAS point cloud les, added target points on the model, and set shooting distance, ight route speed, and other parameters. After planning the ight path, users can export a KML le and upload it to the DJI Pilot app (using

the Phantom 4 RTK (SDK) or Matrice 300 RTK) or to a Waypoints mission in DJI Terra (using the Phantom 4 RTK) to perform it.

1. Coordinated Turn

If enabled, the aircraft will y on a smooth curve when passing a waypoint. Set a “Turn Radius”

in “Waypoint Settings.” However, be aware that only Waypoint Actions on the start and endpoints will be performed, while the Waypoint Actions on other points will not.

If disabled, the aircraft will fly to a waypoint and perform Waypoint Actions. If no Waypoint

Actions are set on a waypoint, the aircraft will stop at the waypoint, adjust its heading and y to

the next waypoint.

2. Camera

DJI Terra can recognize the camera model of the aircraft. Unless otherwise specied, users

don’t need to set it.

3. Ratio

Refers to the ratio of the width and height of the photos captured during the mission.

4. Finishing Action

Aircraft action after mission complete.

Hover: The aircraft will hover at the nal waypoint after mission completion. Then users can then

control the aircraft directly.

Return to Home: If the aircraft altitude is higher than this pre-set value, it will return to home at its

mission completion altitude. If the aircraft altitude is lower than the pre-set value it will ascend to the RTH altitude after mission completion before returning to home. The RTH altitude can be set in Flight Controller Settings.

Land: The aircraft will land at the final waypoint and stop motors automatically after mission

completion.
