Part I
Quick start guide
The first part of this document introduces you to the swinglet CAM and contains
the basic information you will need to plan and execute a simple mapping project.
A typical mapping project can be divided into three main phases:
1. Planning and simulating a flight: Every project begins with careful plan-
ning, whether it is a quick flight over a small area or a multi-stage flight
in complex terrain. Section ‘Planning and simulating a flight’ on the next
page describes how to use the Mission Planning feature to quickly generate
a flight plan and to test it using the built-in simulator.
2. Executing a flight: Once planning is complete, it is time for the drone to
perform its flight. In section ‘Executing a flight’ on page 25 you will learn
how to prepare your drone for flight, connect it to
eMotion , and to monitor
it in flight while it gathers images. Though the swinglet CAM can complete
a flight fully autonomously from take-off to landing, you can also modify
its flight plan at any point during flight.
3. Processing image data: The last step in a project is converting the im-
ages taken by your swinglet CAM into usable products such as precise geo-
referenced orthomosaics or 3D terrain models. section ‘Processing image
data’ on page 43 leads you through the process of transferring images from
the drone to a computer, checking if the image quality suits your needs
while still in the field and producing advanced 2D and 3D maps.
