Description

#### Issue details
The proposal is to carry out mapping along linear structures: highways, ducts, railways, etc.

The idea is to (1) indicate an alignment to be mapped (the axis of the linear structure); (2) indicate the mapping width along this axis; (3) collect the photos with percentage coverage values (laeral and sequential).

This question is open on two other related topics:

Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue and the linked Corridor Mapping and QGroundControl discussions to clarify the required workflow and coverage definitions. Then locate Mission Planner's mission-planning entry points for alignment, corridor width, and photo coverage. Done should include an agreed implementation scope for highways, ducts, or railways and validation of lateral and sequential coverage values.
