360° Panorama Litchi Missions Litchi Mission Utilities Logo

There are two different panorama mission creators. They will both create Litchi missions that can be used to capture photos for a 360° panorama. However, they each have a different set of input parameters. This document highlights the differences.

Legacy Litchi Mission to Panorama Mission

New Litchi Mission to Panorama Mission

FOV The camera field of view (FOV) is assumed to be approximately 80°. The camera field of view (FOV) is selectable.
Overlap The photo overlap is fixed at roughly 35%. Both the horizontal and vertical photo overlap percentage is selectable.
Rows & Columns The number of rows and columns of photos are fixed at three rows and eight columns. The number of rows and columns is computed based on the drone camera.
Gimbal Pitch Angles The gimbal pitch angles are selectable. The gimbal pitch angles are computed based on the drone camera.
Heading Angles The heading angles are fixed at 45° increments. The heading angles are computed based on the drone camera.
DJI Fly Compatibility The resulting Litchi mission cannot be converted into a usable DJI Fly mission because DJI Fly's implementation of waypoints does not support multiple actions at a single waypoint even though the WPML language does support multiple actions. The resulting Litchi mission can theoretically be converted into a useable DJI Fly mission. Camera actions will be limited to one photo per waypoint. This results in many more waypoints to capture the required photos.
