Pix4D GSD Calculator

This document contains instructions for using a ground sampling distance calculator. It asks the user to input the sensor width, focal length, flight height, image width, and optional image height. It then displays the resulting ground sampling distance in cm/pixel and the width and height of the image footprint on the ground in meters. The footprint width is the distance covered on the ground by one image in the width direction.

Calculator
Sw 23.5 = the sensor width of the camera (millimeters)
FR 16 = the focal length of the camera (millimeters)
H 15 = the flight height (meters)
imW 6000 = the image width (pixels)
imH 4000 = the image height (pixels)
GSD 0.37 = Ground Sampling Distance (centimeters/pixel)
Dw 22 = width of single image footprint on the ground (meters)
DH 15 = height of single image footprint on the ground (meters)

Dw = The footprint widt


in width direction
