Orbiting Around a Center Point

Drones are used in an array of industrial applications such as infrastructure inspection (cellular tower inspection) and 3D reconstruction of objects. A useful method for such tasks is to orbit around an object with a drone, taking photographs at various positions along a circular path. In this lesson we walk through the trigonometry involved in flying around a center point with Tello.

*If weather permits, let’s experience a real-life Drone Operator 2D and 3D mapping by using drone software, Litchi, DroneDeploy, or Pix4D Capture*.
