Georef image improvement #1766

Open roque-canales opened 6 years ago

roque-canales commented 6 years ago

Idea is to improve precision off georeferencing tool for those who use rtk.

Today using triggering feedback and gps2 (which is inteded to be rtk) permit to reduce georeferencing errors and improve the precision of georefencing tool.

But it remains errors due to offset between rtk antenna centroid and sensor.

It will be very usefull to that georef image tool request x,y,z offset between gps antenna and sensor and use matrix rotation using euler angles of drone at the instant of each photo to add correction on lat lon alt of gps raw output for precisely georef each image.

If the camera is on an ardupilot controlled gimbal, use the gimbal output data to assign rotational data to the photo as well (in addition to the the proper location based on the 3D offset applied from the antenna).
