onboard in a special Drone Flight Log file. The Drone Flight Log tracks impor-
tant information throughout a flight, such as sensor data, location and control
inputs. The file is required for assigning location information (geotags) to the im-
ages taken by the drone. The file is also required and must be sent to senseFly Ltd
in case an issue occurred during the flight¹⁴. 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.
If you are using a GNSS/RTK base station, you may also need to import files from
the base station and reference stations.
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... ' .
select Flight
Data Manager
click OK
The way that eMotion processes RTK correction data depends on the way you set
up your flight.
If you used a local base station and entered its position into eMotion, as your
eBee RTK was flying, eMotion was sending RTK corrections from the base station
to the drone through the ground modem. Your drone was logging the precise
coordinates of each image it took.
