bearing

[DanPapageorgiou]

Hi,

I have been using your approach in my project, which is on tracking wild dolphins with drones, recognizing them with computer vision, and then translating their pixels to coordinates. I am currently doing this last task and wanted to ask you the following.

In your code on renderMap.js, you use the bearing, which is "the direction the drone is pointed." I have decrypted our drone’s flight metadata (it's a Dji Mavik Classic 3) and I see three different directions/bearings there: the gimbal yaw, the on-screen display yaw, and the direction the drone is moving. There is also the gimbal pitch, which, to my understanding, has to be at 90 degrees for the calculations to make sense. I think that the most relevant of the three other values is the gimbal yaw (i.e., which direction the camera is facing), but I wanted to double-check with you which one you use in your calculations.

Thank you in advance for your time and for making your code open.

All the best,
Danai
