Ground sampling distance (GSD) is an important factor in aerial imaging and is determined by the aircraft’s height above the ground, the focal length of the lens used, as well as the pixel size of the sensor. Understanding the importance of pixel size and sensor size in dictating ground resolution and the field of view is necessary in order to select the correct lens and camera for a specific aerial imaging task.
For a detailed understanding of the various parameters that should be taken in to consideration when selecting a camera for an aerial imaging system, read the full whitepaper here.
