Litchi Hub - Current DJI Mission Planning Workflow

Litchi Hub - Current DJI Mission Planning Workflow

Litchi Hub has become the current low-budget baseline tool for many DJI mapping workflows. It supports browser-based mission planning, area mapping, photogrammetry grids, 3D planning, simulation, and mission synchronization with the Litchi flight apps.

For standard DJI mapping missions, start with Litchi Hub before using the older QGroundControl / uavRmp workflow.

Use uavRmp only when you need reproducible mission generation from R, custom GIS-derived flight geometry, explicit DEM-based planning, conversion workflows, or Pixhawk-compatible output.

Suggested Learning Path

  1. Open Litchi Hub.
  2. Create a simple area mapping mission.
  3. Set altitude, overlap, speed, camera angle, and capture mode.
  4. Inspect the mission in 2D and 3D.
  5. Compare the generated flight lines with the logic you know from QGroundControl and uavRmp.
  6. Check the planned area in DIPUL or TraX.
  7. Only use uavRmp if the mission requires reproducible GIS/R-based planning.

Hinweis

Interactive web apps such as Litchi Hub, DIPUL, or TraX may block iframe embedding for security reasons. Therefore they are linked directly instead of being embedded.

Relation to uavRmp

uavRmp remains relevant as a special-purpose workflow:

  • reproducible mission generation from R,
  • GIS-derived survey geometries,
  • custom DEM workflows,
  • Pixhawk / MAVLink output,
  • QGroundControl or Mission Planner conversion,
  • teaching the internal structure of UAV survey missions.

For ordinary DJI mapping flights, Litchi Hub is now the simpler first choice.
