Triangulation Skill
Crosshair Coordinates allows you to generate coordinates in two distinct ways, Triangulation and using Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) maps. Triangulation skill uses the drone’s position and visual information to calculate GPS coordinates for the position of your crosshairs. As you fly, your camera will stay locked onto your triangulated point of interest. Skydio is offering pilots the opportunity to use and provide feedback on this Beta feature.

To determine the coordinates of an object using the Triangulation Skill:
|
Step 1 - Select Begin Flight and launch
Step 2 - Select Triangulation from the skills menu
Step 3 - Identify a point of interest and yaw the vehicle and pitch the gimbal to point the crosshair to the desired target
Step 4 - Select the Start button
|
 |
Step 5 - Fly the drone laterally to lock on to the target
-
- distance to the subject will dictate the amount of lateral flight necessary to acquire triangulation
- A close-range subject will require a larger lateral flight path
Frame markers indicate that the target has been acquired and provide a sense of scale:
-
-
- green 16.4 ft (5 m)
- blue 65.6 ft (20 m)
