Area mission with terrain-follow
Save one area mission for the whole project. Every Monday morning, the drone flies the exact same pattern — same altitude, same overlap, same start point — and you get a clean weekly progression of orthophotos and 3D models.
Why Muninn
Excavated slopes and elevated structures no longer throw off your GSD. Altitude adjusts to the ground in real time so every pixel is the same resolution.
Named Parcels save the boundary. Each week, load the parcel, hit Generate, get the same waypoints. No human variance = trusted weekly deltas.
After the mission, drop photos into Muninn's cloud. OpenDroneMap builds a 3D model + orthophoto. No ODM install, no GPU needed.

FAQ
With GCPs: 2-5cm absolute accuracy. Without GCPs: 30-100cm absolute, 2-5cm relative. For weekly progress tracking, relative accuracy is usually what matters.
Yes — run a dense 80%/75% overlap area mission over the stockpile, process in Muninn cloud, and use the orthophoto + point cloud to compute volumes in any GIS tool (QGIS, CloudCompare).
Mini 4 Pro handles small sites fine. For 10+ acre sites, Air 3S or Mavic 3 — longer battery, 4/3" sensor. Matrice for large-format photogrammetry.
