Processing Ebee UAV images

Post Flight Processing in Emotion3 software

1. Find and copy the flight log (*.bb3) for the mission that should be processed
2. Find and copy the folder with the images for the mission that should be processed
3. Start Emotion3 Software and select Postflight

1. Assign project name (use PlotID here e.g. AEG04)
2. Select output folder and confirm with 'next'
3. Browse for the *.bb3 file and confirm with 'next'
4. In the next tab select PPK: Process drones' raw GNSS data

1. Prepare a RINEX observation file by recording the GPS time and duration of the flight and select the approximate center coordinates of the flight area as position for the virtual refernce station.
2. Go to SAPOS and login in
3. Select GNSS Shop -> RINEX Download -> Virtual Reference Station (VRS)

1. Enter the date, time, duration and coordinates of the VRS into the form. Select 1 second intervalls for Ebee data
2. Submitt the order and wait until the processing is finished
3. Download the RINEX Zip file, extract it and insert the path to the observation file (*.o) to the Emotion3 software

Now the reference station coordinates and antenna model should become visible

1. Start GNSS-Postprocessing by confirming the settings with 'next'
2. Check if post processing was applied to all / most of the images and controll for the final positional accuracy

1. If everything is o.k. than confirm the PPK Processing by 'next'
2. Select the image folder where all images of that mission are stored and import them
3. Check if all images are found

1. Import the images by confirming with 'next'
2. Select the output files including compressed images, text file and Pix4D project file
