In the world of drone mapping, Ground Sample Distance (GSD) is the key metric that determines how detailed and accurate aerial images will be. GSD measures the distance on the ground represented by each pixel in a digital image, influencing the spatial resolution of drone-captured data. Whether you’re in construction, agriculture, or environmental research, understanding GSD can significantly enhance the precision and utility of your drone mapping projects. To explore more about the technicalities and importance of GSD, check out Stanford University Open Virtual Assistant Lab.
