There is increasing adoption of cost-effective nonmetric camera-equipped unmanned aerial vehicles due to the perceived benefits of timesaving, ease of use, and the accuracy of the digital elevation models that can be produced using structure from motion software. The introduction of systematic elevation errors, doming and bowing, has been evidenced by several authors, and various methods have been identified to reduce these errors. This paper aims to analyse the impact of flight plans on these systematic errors using the especially challenging case of a corridor survey. Two sites were flown for the survey using a DJI Zenmuse. The first site, a car park, was utilised for on-the-job pre-calibration of the camera and consisted of several orbit flights and a double grip flight. Subsequently, an adjacent road (a corridor survey overall 428 m long) was also surveyed at 60 m and 80 m heights using varying flight configurations. This study confirms that pre-calibrating the camera's IOPs significantly reduces the root mean squared elevation error (from 0.268 m to 0.034 m) compared to self-calibrated IOPs using the corridor flights. The impact of flight design on elevation errors confirms a single flight path's risk and the benefits of two or more flight paths, including a point-of-interest orbit flight.
