Circle Waypoint Missions: Precise Drone Orbits for POI, 3D Scans & Gaussian Splatting
Circle missions in AutoWaypoints draw a perfect orbit around any point of interest and fly it as a DJI waypoint mission. Set the radius, altitude, and camera tilt, and the planner generates evenly spaced waypoints along the circle with the camera locked on the center.
Control overlap percentage for photogrammetry-grade spacing, choose clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and set the start angle. Orbit capture is the foundation of high-quality 3D scans and gaussian splatting datasets, and the exported KMZ mission can be re-flown identically for progress tracking.
