• Step 6 - Select outputs: Choose the output actions to execute and files to
create. Geotagging images is necessary to create geoinfo, KML and Post-
flight Terra 3D files.
• Step 7: You may now disconnect the drone. Eject the SD-card drive and the
drone drive before removing the SD-card and the USB cable, respectively.
Disconnect the battery and USB cable from the drone. Insert the SD-card
back into the camera, put it back properly into its compartment and ensure
that it is turned off. You can now open the KML file in Google Earth
TM
or the
project in Postflight Terra 3D for further processing.
3.2 In-field image quality check
Postflight Terra 3D software¹⁶, available as a free download with the eBee package,
can be used to rapidly create a Quality Report directly in the field. The Quality
Report that is automatically generated as well as the orthomosaic provide imme-
diate feedback on the quality of the images gathered during your mission.
You can open a project for processing in Postflight Terra 3D directly from the Flight
Data Manager after importing your data by clicking the ‘Open project in Terra’
button. You will now see the main Postflight Terra 3D window. The position of
your images will appear as red dots in the Map Area of Postflight Terra 3D.
¹⁶ powered by Pix4D; see section ‘Installing eMotion, Postflight Terra 3D, and the ground modem
drivers’ on page 19 for installation instructions
