Mapping Using DroneDeploy

Mapping Flinks enables you to seamlessly transfer data collected during FlytBase missions to DroneDeploy , empowering you to create detailed 3D maps for various use cases.

You would require the enterprise licence for DroneDeploy and access to the API key on the FlytBase Platform before you can start using these workflows.

Setting up your DroneDeploy Flink

• Navigate to the Operations Dashboard and click on the Hamburger menu. From the dropdown menu, select Flinks under Integrations.

Flink section on the Operations Dashboard

• Start by linking the API key associated with your DroneDeploy account to FlytBase using the Link button.

Setting up your DroneDeploy Flink

• Once the key has been linked, you would be able to see the existing projects on your organisation's account under Sites.

• Any exports that are made using the FlytBase Platform would be visible under the Export logs.

Transferring the data from FlytBase to the DroneDeploy Flink

• Start by selecting your mission media files once they are available. Then select the export media option.

Selecting the mission media

• While exporting, set a name for the export and determine its validity in the Export Manager. The platform will create the media export for you to view in the export manager.

Creating a media export

• After the export is complete, you'll have the option to share it directly with your DroneDeploy Flink.

• Select the DroneDeploy Flink and choose the project it's part of. You'll also need to set the name of the plan.

• Click Share. The files will then be transferred to DroneDeploy where you'll be able to view and process the models.
