FPS vs. DBT Data Calculator

Project & Capture Settings

▾
? Captures an image at fixed spatial intervals (e.g., every 2 meters).

Total Frames = Distance / Interval

? Captures images at a fixed time interval (e.g., 10 times per second).

Spacing = Speed / FPS
Total Frames = Distance / Spacing
? Your driving speed. In FPS mode, this determines photo spacing. In DBT mode, your speed is limited by the camera's ability to capture at your desired distance interval.

Detailed Comparison

This tool compares two capture modes: Time-Based (FPS) captures images at set time intervals, while Distance-Based (DBT) captures at set distance intervals. See how your settings impact the final data size.
