Importing routes

UgCS software allows route import in several formats: .JSON, .KML and .CSV.

JSON file import:

Click on the "Add new route" button

Browse for the file in .json format and click the button "Next".

KML file import:

Click on the "Add new route" button;
Browse for the file in .kml format and click the button "Next"

While importing KML UgCS read elements from Placemark. If Placemark contains MultiGeometry with several elements all of them will be imported.

•LineString - while importing can be converted into Waypoint, Corridor mapping, Vertical Scan, or Lidar corridor by user choice. For Vertical scan, Corridor mapping and Lidar corridor points altitude will be ignored. Waypoint will save altitude mode and altitude value from KML.

•LineRing - while importing can be converted into AreaScan, Photogrammetry, Perimeter or Lidar area, by user choice. Waypoint mode and points altitude will be ignored.

CSV file import:

Click on the "Add new route" button;
Browse for the file in .kml format and click the button "Next"

There are two ways to describe data in CSV:

•without column names (headers) - in that case, a column order defines a data meaning;
•with column names (header) - in that case, column names (headers) a data meaning.

CSV sch****ema without column names (header):
CSV file must have 3 mandatory fields: "Latitude", "Longitude", "AltitudeAGL". The fourth field "Speed" is optional. Please note the header is ignored if it contains letters.

CSV schema with column names (header):
To recognize data column names are used. CSV file can contain any number of columns, but only columns with the following names are used to get data:

Column name	Values	Required	Data meaning
WP	Int	No	The waypoint number in the route. If not specified then the waypoints are ordered by row number.
Latitude	Double	Yes	The latitude of the waypoint.
Longitude	Doube	Yes	The longitude of the waypoint.
AltitudeAGL	Double	Required if AltitudeAMSL not specified	The AGL altitude of the waypoint.
AltitudeAMSL	Double	Required if AltitudeAGL not specified	The AMSL altitude of the waypoint
Speed	Double	No	"Flight speed" attribute value of the waypoint. If not specified then 5 m/s.
Picture	False (case insensitive)	No	If true then "Set camera mode" action with option "Shot" is created for the waypoint.
UavYaw	Double 0.00-360.00 If the value is out of the range then it is automatically converted to the value in the range	No	Drone Yaw (degrees relative to the north). If specified then the "Change yaw" action with corresponding "Yaw" relative to the north is created for the waypoint.
CameraTilt	Double 0.00-360.00 If the value is out of the range then it is automatically converted to the value in the range	No	Camera till (degrees). If specified then the "Set camera attitude" action with corresponding "Tilt" is created for the waypoint.
WaitTime	Double	No	Wait time (seconds). If specified then the "Wait" action with corresponding "Wait duration, s" is created for the waypoint.
