3 Processing image data
Goal of this section: In this section you will learn how to import im-
ages and flight data from your eBee and create basic mapping prod-
ucts directly in the field to gauge the quality of the images that you
gathered.
3.1 Importing images and flight data
The next step to creating mapping products, after completing a flight, is to import
the raw images and log filesto a computer. The eBee recordsflight data onboardin
a special Drone Flight Log file. The Drone Flight Log tracks important information
throughout a flight, such as sensor data, location and control inputs. The file is
required for assigning location information (geotags) to the images taken by the
drone. The file is also required and must be sent to senseFly Ltd in case an issue
occurred during the flight¹⁵. A similar eMotion Flight Log file is created within
eMotion during a flight and serves as a backup in case the Drone Flight Log file
cannot be recovered.
eMotion features a Flight Data Manager to help you transfer and consolidate all
the data related to a mapping mission. Open the Flight Data Manager by clicking
on the Flight Data Manager icon when you load eMotion. Alternatively, click on
the button in the Toolbar and select ‘Flight Data Manager...’.
