Flying Height of Airplane above Datum Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Flying Height of Airplane = ((Focal Length of Lens/Photo Scale)+Elevation of Point)
H = ((flen/P)+h1)
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Flying Height of Airplane - (Measured in Meter) - Flying height of airplane above datum (usually mean sea level) is defined as the average flying height above ground.
Focal Length of Lens - (Measured in Meter) - Focal Length of Lens is usually represented in millimeters (mm), is the basic description of a photographic lens.
Photo Scale - Photo scale is determined by the focal length of the camera and the flying height above the ground.
Elevation of Point - (Measured in Meter) - Elevation of point, line, or area with respect to datum.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Focal Length of Lens: 4.2 Meter --> 4.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Photo Scale: 2.1 --> No Conversion Required
Elevation of Point: 9 Meter --> 9 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
H = ((flen/P)+h1) --> ((4.2/2.1)+9)
Evaluating ... ...
H = 11
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
11 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
11 Meter <-- Flying Height of Airplane
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

4 Photogrammetry Calculators

Focal Length of Lens given Photo Scale
Go Focal Length of Lens = (Photo Scale*(Flying Height of Airplane-Elevation of Point))
Flying Height of Airplane above Datum
Go Flying Height of Airplane = ((Focal Length of Lens/Photo Scale)+Elevation of Point)
Elevation of Point, Line or Area
Go Elevation of Point = (Flying Height of Airplane-(Focal Length of Lens/Photo Scale))
Photo Scale given Focal Length
Go Photo Scale = (Focal Length of Lens/(Flying Height of Airplane-Elevation of Point))

Flying Height of Airplane above Datum Formula

Flying Height of Airplane = ((Focal Length of Lens/Photo Scale)+Elevation of Point)
H = ((flen/P)+h1)

How does photogrammetry work?

Photogrammetry works by analyzing photographs of an object or area from multiple angles and using triangulation to calculate the distance and position of each point in the image. This information is then used to create a 3D model or map of the object or area.
