Swathwise

Swathwise sizes a drone LiDAR or photogrammetry job from a map. Draw the flight area, or bring in a boundary file, pick the aircraft and the sensor, choose the kind of job, and Swathwise works out the area, the flight lines, the flight time and how many battery sets the day will take. Its settings for each kind of job come from published standards (USGS Lidar Base Specification, ASPRS, FEMA and others), and it shows which one it is following. What it does: - Area, flight time and battery sets for a drawn boundary - Job presets built on published standards, with the citation - Corridor routes for fiber, roads and pipelines - Draft flight routes as KMZ files for the controller, with terrain from USGS 3DEP (United States) - A printable flight plan and a field sheet - Maps from USGS, USDA NAIP and the Census Bureau; no account, no key Swathwise gives planning estimates and draft routes. It does not fly the aircraft, check the airspace, or know what stands on the ground. Check every route on the controller before it is flown. Terms of use: https://swathwise.org/terms/
