Description

In survey (grid) and Flight Data (camera overlap):
The footprint displayed is not equal to the footprint calculated
the error increase when the focal length decrease
example in attached files for a 10mm lens on full frame camera with 0% overlap and 0% sidelap, the footprint should cover the area with no overlap

Research direction

Reproduce the Survey grid and Flight Data camera-overlap case using the attached 10mm full-frame example with 0% overlap and 0% sidelap. Compare the displayed footprint with the calculated footprint, especially as focal length decreases; done means both views agree and the footprint covers the area without overlap.
