Calculating a line-of-sight signal path can be a challenge if there are trees obstructing your view of the topography. A hillside or too many trees can kill your signal. So how can we draw a perfectly straight line over one KM long to find out what our signal will need to penetrate? Using a digital 3D model made with imagery acquired with a drone, we can draw a line from point to point and explore the obstacles along the way. We can also use this model to help us point our directional antenna. Since we wanted to keep the maximum detail on this model, the file size is quite large (85 MB). You can view it live or download the HTML file for off-line viewing.
Here are the steps to making a model like this:
*Mission flown with a DJI Phantom 4
*Pix4D was used to process the imagery
*Blender was used for 3D editing and export to HTML
