Import DJI Aerial Photogrammetry Files

Import into your project aerial photogrammetry positioning data and images collected with various DJI® UAS models. In TBC, you can process the data, adjust the aerial photo stations, and create deliverables; or send the data to UASMaster for processing and deliverables creation.

Note the following:

  • All required DJI mission data files must be stored in the same folder, which you will import into the project. This includes, along with JPG image files, the following mission files:
    • Rinex.obs file - Contains RINEX observations (without ephmeris). This file is optional. Precise GNSS information can either be contained in a RINEX file or in image metadata. Or, the project may have no GNSS information at all.
    • Timestamp.MRK file - Contains camera exposure timestamp records.
    • EVENTLOG.bin file - Contains exposure timestamp records.
    • PPKRaw.bin file - Contains satellite observation data and ephemeris data.
  • A JXL file used for processing is created automatically on import.
  • If RTK is used when recording DJI aerial photo images, TBC extracts the RTK quality information from the imported metadata for each image, enabling an absolute orientation adjustment to be performed without the need to process baselines or measure ground control points. Although the use of GCPs and baseline processing are still recommended if adequate data is provided, this enhancement is very useful in cases where no GCPs are provided and either no T02 file was included or the Internet Download for the region or time frame does not offer data to run baseline processing.
