GNSS/IMU .csv log file

Hardware: aircraft=M600, camera=Sony A7R with gimbal and NINJA interface, flight planning software= Map Pilot, post process software=UASMaster by INPHO

Current Issue.

Post flight .csv GNSS/IMU file log is too cumbersome and not accurate:

  • File records from startup at an interval of once every 10th of a second.
  • Average .csv file is 50 columns by 12,000-15,000 rows! Massive!
  • Image column is somewhat reliable on flat ground but in steep terrain it skips images.
  • There can be 10-50 rows recorded per image. In other words there can be as many as 50 GNSS/IMU entries marked as the same photo. The GNSS/IMU data set needs to be selected manually.
  • CSV file image numbers are not correlated to the image ID from the camera. This must be done manually.

Best work around so far:

  • Manually sort photos based on YAW.
  • Manually remove non flight line photos.
  • Manually script the .csv to ID flight lines based on YAW.
  • Manually correlate GNSS/IMU data row with photos
  • Delete all unnecessary rows and columns to produce a .csv that contains only one photo id, lat, long, altitude, yaw, pitch, roll for each photo.
  • This process takes hours, in fact a full day for a large site.

What I need is Map Pilot to record 1 GNSS/IMU data row per photo and correlate it correctly to the photo ID.

Questions:

  • What do other GNSS/IMU .csv files look like that have been recorded using different cameras and aircraft?
  • Has this issue been discussed before on this forum? If so, can you direct me to those threads?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Bruce

The lines marked with 'Photo' should be interpreted as the single sample at which time the image was taken. There are not 10-50 rows per sample, just that one.

The 'Photo' markers are created when the aircraft tells the app it too an image so if you do not have a good RC connection it is possible for it to get dropped. 

All telemetry is recorded and is reported at 10 Hz.

Thanks for the quick response Zane.

The "Photo" search will help a great deal as it is hidden in the 54th column "BB" that is labeled "App_Tip". I never would have thought to look there and I would not have known what to look for. I was using the 12th column "L" labeled "Image" which shows the current image number for each of the 10th of a second recordings.

Is the normal GNSS/IMU output file from Map Pilot 59 columns wide and recorded every 10th of a second? If this is the case I would like to pursue a modification to Map Pilot or a direct embedding of the data on the photo for my purposes. I'll write you a email direct.

Thank you,

Bruce
