Advanced functionalities
The ‘Cameramodel’ section is used to define the camera or payload currently con-
nected to the eBee RTK. The list contains all payloads currently supported on the
eBee RTK.
The ‘Photo targets’ section allows you to program a set of photo targets that the
drone will capture with an oblique angle. You can define a photo target location,
distance to the object and the heading and pitch of the photograph. The drone
will then automatically calculate a flight plan in order to capture the photo with
the desired parameters.
• Photo sequence control: Clicking the ‘Start sequence’ button will send
the drone to the first photo target location and subsequently take images
of all the photo targets currentlyin the ‘Phototargets’ list. Clicking the ‘Stop
sequence’ will send the drone back to the Home waypoint.
• Photo targets: This panel contains the list of photo targets to be taken in
a sequence. Clicking the button will add a new photo target. You can
set the location by using the cross-hairs and clicking in the Map Area. By
default, the location of a new photo target is the same as the previous one
in the list. Clicking the will remove all photo targets from the sequence
list. Each photo target has the following properties:
– Change altitude: The way the drone transitions to the altitude of
the current photo target. This parameter is set to ‘Keep highest’ for
all photo targets and cannot be modified.
– Minimum altitude after photo: This is the calculated minimum al-
titude the drone will reach at the end of a photo capture manoeuvre,
based on the desired ground resolution.
– Ground resolution: The desired ground resolution in the centre of
the image that will be pointed at the photo target position.
– Distance: The calculated straight-line distance between the drone
and the photo target, and the defined pitch angle. For a given dis-
tance, as the pitch angle increases, the distance to the ground de-
creases.
– Heading: The heading angle with respect to North of the photo tar-
get.
