Question: Assuming the image presented below is captured by a smartphone camera equipped with a 4 m m lens and a 1 2 . 5

Assuming the image presented below is captured by a smartphone camera equipped with a 4mm lens and a 12.5" sensor (5.76mm4.29mm), and considering a drone distance of approximately 20m, undertake the following tasks:
a) Compute the Field of View (FOV), base coverage (both horizontal and vertical), and image scale. Utilizing the obtained results, make an estimate of the drone's height above the take-off point (refer to Figure 1)
b) Calculate the distance necessary for the drone to achieve equivalent horizontal base coverage (note that the photo was taken in portrait) when utilising the following cameras:
A Sony Alpha mirrorless camera with an APS-C sensor 14.9mm) and a 35mm lens;
A Panasonic Lumix camera with a crop factor of 2 and a 50mm lens.
Figure 1.The red arrow indicates the height of the drone above the take-off point (h).
