📷 Sensor Pixel Pitch (3.3-4.4 µm), Focal Length & Sub-Centimeter GSD (cm/pixel)

Drone Photogrammetry GSD & Resolution Calculator

Calculate Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) for commercial drone photogrammetry and orthomosaics: calculate spatial resolution (GSD = [Sensor Width x Altitude x 100] / [Focal Length x Image Width] in cm/pixel), front/side overlap (75%/70%), ground control point (GCP) RTK accuracy, and aerial mapping bids.
