Composite Video
Feature Description
The composite video feature can quickly convert drone-captured images into video datasets based on specified parameters. It is recommended to use continuously shot images for optimal results.
Feature Entry
- Video Maps Tab -> Manage Video Group -> Composite Video (The Video Maps tab is only available when current window is a video map)
Parameter Description
Click Video Maps Tab -> Manage Video Group -> Composite Video button to open the Composite Video dialog:
- Picture Path: Select the folder containing source images.
- Frame Rate: Set frames per second for video playback.
- DFOV: Select diagonal field-of-view parameter for wide-angle cameras. Different camera models require corresponding DFOV settings.
- Side Angle: Set the lateral tilt angle between the drone's symmetry plane and vertical plane of its longitudinal axis. Right-side tilt uses positive values.
- Pitch Angle: Set the elevation angle between camera axis (forward direction) and horizontal plane. 0° for horizontal shooting, negative values for downward angles, -90° for nadir imaging.
- Custom Yaw Angle: When checked, manually set the azimuth angle between camera direction and true north (clockwise angles as positive). Unchecked: program automatically calculates yaw from image metadata.
- Image Compression Ratio: Adjust image compression to optimize video display quality. Higher resolution images may increase memory usage and affect video dataset processing.
- Output Video Path: Set storage path for generated video.
- Datasource: Select target datasource for video dataset storage.
- Dataset: Specify name for the output video dataset.
