Table 2. Details of coverage by images at the three altitudes flown during trial flights.

Altitude (ft) Field of view (m) a
Area of overlap
Length Width Along transect Between transects
500 48 72 10% 0 (edge to edge)
750 72 108 10% 25%
1000 96 144 10% 50%

a This is the area of the sea surface visible within each image, where length is along the transect, and width is perpendicular to the transect. Width is equivalent to transect strip width.
