The relative accuracy of a scan is about three times the Ground Sample Distance (GSD).

For example, if your GSD is set to 1 mm for the scan, the relative accuracy of the model would be around 3 mm (or 1/8"). A 1 mm GSD can be achieved by completing the scan with a Distance-to-Surface of 8 ft on Skydio 2/2+.
