Advanced functionalities
Note: If you use Postflight Terra 3D (see section 'Processing im-
age data' on page 61), you can generate TMS-compatible, eMotion-
compatible tile sets for each project. In this way, you can create your
own map background using the eBee RTK. Generate the tile set by
selecting 'Generate Google Maps tiles and KML' from the 'Process'
menu within Postflight Terra 3D.
Whenever the eBee RTK takes a picture, eMotion records the location and orienta-
tion of the drone and computes the approximate span of the photo on the ground
(or 'footprint'). All the footprints taken by a drone are added to a shaded polygon
outlined with the drone's colour and displayed in the Map Area. This polygon rep-
resents an estimate of the area that has been photographed by the drone.
The footprints can be shown or hidden using the
footprints are kept in memory and new photos continue to be recorded, but noth-
ing is displayed in the Map Area. Footprints for all drones remain in the memory
of eMotion, even when a drone is disconnected or eMotion is shut down. Clicking
on the button removes all footprint polygons from the Map Area the memory
of eMotion. New picture footprints will be created for subsequent pictures that
are taken.
Note: Clearing or hiding the footprints has no influence on what is
logged by eMotion and on-board the drone during the flight, such as
the information required to geotag the images after the flight.
