Here we will track the specific configuration and status of each unique BenchBot by location.
Image Collection
High overlap mode for generating orthomosaics.
Camera needs to be positioned 1.8 m above the pots during collection
For testing, and aiming for 50% side and font overlap, images should be spaced accordingly:
x-axis distance: 50-55 cm
y-axis distance: 43-45 cm
Values given below are not the actual pot/row spacing on the ground, but instead represent what should be entered into the bbotv3 GUI to achieve sufficient image overlap.

The BARC site expects to add a second, identical, BenchBotv3 to their new 50ft wide pad later in 2024. This diagram reflects the clearances possible with that setup.
