I have been laying out a mission grid. I wish to paste the images together to form a really big image of the total landform.
The Enterprise Mavic flies the route perfectly facing the direction of travel along each grid leg. That is a problem because
in post processing I have to manually find the turn point then rotate the sequence of images in every second leg by 180degrees.
Also the drone takes pictures during a turn. These pictures are best deleted.
The stitching software can cope with a left to right or right to left ordering but gets confused by fractional rotations.
If each image had a compass bearing in the exif data I could automatically rotate the image aligning the direction of all the images.
Frustratingly the Mavic exif data does not have a compass bearing in it.
It would be better if the drone maintained its compass bearing at all times rather than turning and facing the new direction.
Is there away to do this with mission planning? Using mission "Create Route"->Waypoint it is possible to set a "pin" that the drone will always face but it doesn't seem to be available in other mission plannings.
