Export senseFly Mission Files (.emjson)

Use the senseFly Mission exporter to export a polyline CAD object that defines a geographic area to be used to create a mapping block for a flight mission plan in senseFly® eMotion software. The exporter allows you to optionally specify the ground resolution and photo overlap to be applied to the flight mission.

Note: senseFly provides complete aerial mapping, analysis, and inspection systems, along with an array of drones, and software packages targeted at a variety of industries and applications. (For more information, see https://senseFly.com.)

To export senseFly Mission files:

Ensure the correct coordinate system has been selected for your project.
It must match the coordinate system specified in the eMotion software.
Optionally, import a background map to assist in the creation of a polyline.
Use the appropriate CAD command to create an open or closed polyline (for example, a linestring, polyline, polygon, or boundary) that defines the geographic area to be used to create the mapping block for a flight mission plan in the eMotion software.
Notes:
- The polyline must include a minimum of three points.
- An open polyline will be automatically closed in the resulting export file.
- A polyline that intersects itself (for example, forming a figure "8") cannot be used for the export.
- Arcs and circles cannot be used for the export.
Repeat if necessary to create additional polylines to include in the export.
Select Export in Home > Data Exchange to open th Export command pane.
In the Export pane, select the Survey tab and select senseFly Mission exporter.
Click in the Data field. Then select in a graphic view one or more closed or open polylines you want to export.
Optionally, click the Options button and select an appropriate selection option.
Optionally, in the File Name field, change the default export file name. If necessary, click the Browse button to specify a location for the export file other than the project folder.
Optionally, specify one or more of the following settings that will be used to define the flight mission plan in the eMotion software:
- Resolution - Enter the units-per-pixel ground resolution to be used in the flight mission plan. A lower resolution may provide faster performance, but image display will be of a lower quality. You can enter the resolution distance value in centimeters or inches, depending on your selection in the Display field in Project Settings > Units > Distance >Unit. The value you enter will be rounded to the nearest 0.1 cm on export.
- Lateral overlap (%) - Enter the percentage of lateral photo image overlap (50-95%) to be used in the flight mission plan.
- Longitudinal overlap (%) - Enter the percentage of longitudinal (forward) photo image overlap (50-95%) to be used in the flight mission plan.
