3. Icon description#

This chapter describes the colored icons displaying sensor status information and the use of the icons for display control of flight lines in the operator and pilot display.

3.1. Sensor status information#

The icons in the upper right corner of the Navigator program show the status of each group of sensors:

3.1.1. Status of GPS - INSS#

../_images/NG_UI_iconGPSgray.png

No GPS available
../_images/NG_UI_iconGPSred.png

GPS has an error
../_images/NG_UI_iconGPSyellow.png

IMU alignment is degraded
../_images/NG_UI_iconGPSgreen.png

IMU alignment is aligned for full nav

3.1.2. Status of CAM -Camera(s)#

3.1.2.1. Different statuses for UltraCam camera#

To display the current and previous status of the camera the two boxes of the CAM icon are used. The smaller, upper box shows the previous status. There might be an error or warning which has not been handled by the user. The larger, lower box shows the current status of the camera.

../_images/NG_UI_iconUpperLower.png

Upper box: Previous status of the camera

../_images/NG_UI_CAMgreen.png

Operational: the camera is running without errors. No previous unhandled error, warning or information has been detected.
../_images/NG_UI_CAMpreviousyellow.png

Pending: previously to the active status of the camera, there was an information or warning the user has not yet addressed.
../_images/NG_UI_CAMpreviousred.png

Error previously to the active status of the camera, there was an error on the camera the user has not yet addressed.

Lower box: Actual status of the camera

../_images/NG_UI_CAMgray.png

No camera is available.
../_images/NG_UI_CAMred.png

The camera is available but not yet connected to SensorHandler.
../_images/NG_UI_CAMyellow.png

The camera is not ready to take images. Change camera to ready mode to take images.
../_images/NG_UI_CAMgreen.png

Green font on gray background: the camera is ready to take images. The airplane is outside the flight line. Manual image triggers are possible.
../_images/NG_UI_CAMgreen2.png

Gray font on green background: the camera is on the flight line or close to it. It is ready to take images. No manual triggers can be released.
../_images/NG_UI_CAMgreenyellow1.png

Yellow color means that the camera issued an information or warning. Check the UltraCam terminal to get more information on the issue. In this case (yellow CAM on gray), the airplane is outside the flight line.
../_images/NG_UI_CAMgreenyellow2.png

Yellow color means that the camera issued an information or warning. Check the UltraCam terminal to get more information on the issue. In this case (white CAM on yellow), the camera is on the flight line or close to it.
../_images/NG_UI_CAMgrayred.png

Gray font on red background: there is an error with the camera. Check the UltraCam terminal to get more information on the issue.

3.1.2.2. Different statuses for Riegl cameras#

../_images/NG_UI_CAMgray_Riegl.png

No camera is available.
../_images/NG_UI_CAMorange_Riegl.png

Lower box: The camera is in logging mode.

Hint

Possible causes:

  • The logging did not start at the beginning of the flight line.

  • The logging did not stop at the end of the flight line.

  • The airplane left the line before it ended.

3.1.3. Status of MNT - SOMAG Mount#

Upper box: Value of mount levelling

The levelling is displayed in three classes:

  • green: high accuracy levelling

  • orange: medium accuracy levelling

  • coral: beyond medium accuracy levelling

The limits for high and medium accuracy classification can be defined in the tolerances section of the main menu:

Hint

Possible causes:

  • The logging did not start at the beginning of the flight line.

  • The logging did not stop at the end of the flight line.

  • The airplane left the line before it ended.

3.2. Display control#

3.2.1. Operator display#

Hint

Use Auto zoom settings for global display control.

Important

Almost all view modifications listed below affect only the operator display! The pilot display remains unchanged.

Zoom in
(disable automatic zooming of the map)

 ../_images/icons_01zoom-in-out.png

Zoom out
(disable automatic zooming of the map)

Click anywhere on the map to manually recenter the display to that location.

 ../_images/icons_02zoom-options.png

Toggle between manual and automatic zoom (applies only to operator display!)
The automatic mode ico_auto is set each time a new line is selected. Zooming in/out in multiline display and single line display will change the display to manual mode ico_man . Clicking the button again will reset the manual zoom to automatic zoom.

Display all flight lines of the project (multiline).
Automatic zooming is replaced by manual zooming.

 ../_images/icons_03flightline.png

Zoom to active flight line (single line).
Use ico_line to select centering of the map on airplane or flight line.
../_images/icons_04map.png

Toggle between centering of the map on airplane ico_plane (airplane is static, flight line moves) or flight line ico_line (flight line static, airplane moves).

Show/hide the ID of lines
Toggle the display of the line ID at both ends of the flight line (also applies to pilot display).

 ../_images/icons_05IDs.png

Show/hide the ID of images
Toggle the display of the image ID on the selected flight line (also applies to pilot display).

Switch on/off for immediate suspension/resumption of data acquisition for cameras and scanners.
This button is used for immediate suspension of data acquisition. Once data acquisition has stopped, click the button again to resume. Selecting a new flight line will automatically resume data acquisition.

 ../_images/icons_06triggering.png

Switch on/off to mark images to be reflown.
This can be used for images which have to be retaken (e.g. where image quality might suffer due to fog in a certain location. The marked images can be taken again later when the weather conditions are better).

Release a manual trigger
(not possible for all cameras).

 ../_images/icons_07track.png

Toggle to enable (green) or disable (red) the digitizing of the airplane’s track to the file track.shp.

Select a specific flight line from a list of lines.

 ../_images/icons_08other-line.png

Set current flight line to the previous line (actual line ID -1).

 ../_images/icons_09next-line.png

Set current flight line to the next line (actual line ID +1).

Switch between visualization of only the selected line including its images and of all lines with images.

 ../_images/icons_10images1.png

Filter to show/hide image centers of all successfully taken images.

Filter to show/hide image centers that have not yet been taken.

 ../_images/icons_11images2.png

Filter to show/hide all triggered images with camera warnings or errors.

3.2.2. Pilot display#

The few buttons on the pilot display can be selected directly if the pilot has a touch display. Otherwise, the operator can use the extended desktop to control the buttons on the pilot display.

../_images/NG_pilot_display_icons1.png

Zoom in (disable automatic zooming of the map)
../_images/NG_pilot_display_icons2.png

Zoom out (disable automatic zooming of the map)
../_images/NG_pilot_display_icons3.png

Return to default zoom
../_images/NG_pilot_display_icons4.png

Set current flight line to the previous line (actual line ID -1).
../_images/NG_pilot_display_icons5.png

Set current flight line to the next line (actual line ID +1).
