LineVision for Drones Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


Drone & UAV FAQ

Yes - All LineVision versions accept geotagged videos from certain DJI models that log the .SRT file with GPS data along with the video files.

Based on internal research and customer feedback the following DJI models should support recording video with the .SRT file:
  • Mavic Pro
  • Inspire 1 & 2
  • Phantom 3 Pro
  • Phantom 4 Standard (for some reason it seems DJI did not include .SRT file logging capability with the Phantom 4 Pro.)

    In the DJI Go App, choose the MENU option on the right side of the screen for Images and Video. Choose the Video icon and change file type from .MOV the default to .MP4. Choose the Option tool icon and TURN ON Video Caption. That option needs to be ON for the .SRT files to be saved with the .MP4 on your SD Card when you record during a flight.

    Please note: you must have a DJI model that properly logs the GPS as an SRT file.

    Yes. LineVision accepts many different GPS Data companion file types and to make it easy we have a published very simple CSV spec for LineVision.

    The format is as follows:

  • Column 1: Latitude
  • Column 2: Longitude
  • Column 3: Altitude
  • Column 4: UTC Time
  • Column 5: Speed
  • Column 6: Course

    • The 1st row MUST be the following:

    LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, ALTITUDE, UTCTIME, SPEED, COURSE

    From there, each additional row just needs to be the corresponding values.

    You can download the Simple CSV file format example by clicking on the document title below.

    The geoProject format is the ideal way to deliver an interactive and immersive deliverable to your client. (Click here for more on geoProjects.)

    However, to offer that type of functionality, requires software as there are millions of lines of code behind the scene that make that all work together.

    If you are using the Remote GeoSystems geoProject format for the deliverable, then your client will need some sort of version of LineVision Basic edition or higher to view the save geoProject deliverable.

    This can be any of the following LineVision versions: LineVision Google Earth Extension, LineVision Desktop, LineVision Esri ArcMap Add-in or LineVision Online for Enterprise.

    Since we do offer the monthly plans, so you could subscribe for your client and turn off their subscription for the months that its is not being used.

    Alternatively you could create screen capture of the LineVision running if you just needed to send your client a movie. There are also the automated reports that be be exported in Excel and Word file formats as well as mission plans that can be exported as KML files. But again, the map interactivity with video requires the LineVision software currently.

    Yes - Our LineVision software allows you to view video files with continuous GPS coordinates a map for dynamic an interactive playback along a flight route. The LineVision Google Earth Extension lets you do this with Google Earth and our LineVision Desktop lets you do this with Esri ArcGIS Maps.

    There can be all kinds of keys in the MISB FMV so for the sake of making the software more usable for the vast majority of users, we currently only pull out GPS & related data.

    However, we certainly can parse all or some specific mission/security metadata and get that into a GPX or other file type. We work with customers on a case by case basis for this type of customization and are happy to explore what would be involved if you are interested.

    Yes - with some DJI models, and LineVision Desktop - Ultimate, you can use the data from the DJI Fight Record log TXT file to geotag the video so that an approximation of the "camera-target-footprint" shows on the map with this data. You can then enable the map overlay. But again remember this is really an approximation. Unlike the aircraft gimbal systems, the DJI's do not have a laser rangefinder to get LineVision all the ideal metadata parameters to get the 4-corner information really accurate. Also at this time you cannot export a video file with the video overlaid, the client will at least need the LineVision Desktop - Basic edition to view the data overlaid on the video.

    Also, all versions of LineVision also allow you and clients to video player synced with a moving map flight route and data side by side.
