Bambi Flight Plan Adaption

This tool allows to create routes for evaluation flights within the Bambi project. The created routes are used as basis for planning actual flights using tools like UGCS. Please check every adapted plan before flight! We neither expressly nor by implication provide any warranty or guarantee, and provide no assurance in terms of the correctness and completeness of the created routes!

Flight area (e.g. as KML/KMZ or shp file)

Geographic shape defining the area of interest, which should be used for evaluation.

Start positions (e.g. as KML/KMZ or shp file)

Geographic shape defining valid start positions for created routes.

Invalid areas (e.g. as KML/KMZ or shp file)

(Optional) Geographic shape defining invalid areas (no-flight-zones) within the area of interest.

Grid size (m)

Horizontal/Vertical distance between individual grid points (default: 400.0m).

Max. start distance (m)

Max. distance allowed between closest start point and first route point + start point and last route point (default: 2000.0m).

Max. route length (m)

Max. distance of an individual route (without start and end distance; default: 3000.0m).

Min. number of transects per route

Min. number of expected transects within one individual route to be valid (default: 3).

Max. ratio of overlapping transects

Maximum number of transects of a flight that may overlap with another flight (default: 0).

Min. number of transects in the evaluation area

Min. number of expected transects within all routes of a valid plan (default: 40).

Min. transect overlap (%)

Min. overlap ratio of a transect with the area to be assumed as valid (default: 0.75).

North-Offset (m)

Offset of the grid along the North/South Axis. Positive value moves the grid to North. Negative value to South. (Default: 0m).

East-Offset (m)

Offset of the grid along the West/East Axis. Positive value moves the grid to East. Negative value to west. (Default: 0m).

Padding North

Add x additional rows of grid points to the North of the flight area (useful, North-Offset is used; Default: 0).

Padding East

Add x additional columns of grid points to the East of the flight area (useful, East-Offset is used; Default: 0).

Padding South

Add x additional rows of grid points to the South of the flight area (useful, North-Offset is used; Default: 0).

Padding West

Add x additional columns of grid points to the West of the flight area (useful, East-Offset is used; Default: 0).

Max. number of retries

Max. number of retries to create a plan, e.g. after creating an invalid plan with too few transects (default: 50).

Max. Flights

Max. number of flights that should be generated as selection basis (default: 50).

EPSG Code of the UTM Tile

EPSG-Code of the UTML tile. Required for calulating precise metric-distances.

Random seed

Seed used to initialize the randomizer (default: empty = random).

Random search

Flag if random search should be used or sorted search based on the length of the generated sorts for selecting the final flights for the flight plan.
