Flying Tips
===========
The `Humanitarian OpenStreetMap team `_ has guidelines on `flying for UAV mapping `_:
- `Choosing the right UAV `_
- `Choosing the right sensor `_
- `Mission preparation `_
The guidelines are intended for drone mapping projects on islands, but have general use for all drone mappers.
See also DroneDeploy's guide on `Making Successful Maps `_, which provides great tips on mission planning.
Finally, lens distortion is a challenge in projects requiring accurate 3D data. See our section in these docs on `Camera Calibration `_.
