# The cameras and files Finitor reads.

> The drone cameras and files Finitor reads: RGB photographs and raw formats, multispectral bands, thermal photos turned into °C (DJI, FLIR, Autel), and LiDAR clouds (LAS, LAZ, E57, PLY), each with how far it was tested.

## Photographs (RGB)

Any camera that writes JPEG, TIFF or a raw format below, with the position in each photo or in a positions file. Drone makers' own position files (DJI RTK) travel with the photos.

- DJI Zenmuse P1: JPEG Orthophoto, point cloud, surface and terrain models, 3D model (Tested on a real flight)
- DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral (RGB camera): JPEG All products (Tested on a real flight)
- DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise, Matrice 4E, Phantom 4 RTK, and the wide and visible cameras of the thermal models: JPEG, DNG All products (Read by the engine; not yet tested by us)
- Autel EVO II Pro, EVO Max 4T (wide camera), Parrot ANAFI, Skydio X10: JPEG All products (Read by the engine; not yet tested by us)
- GoPro, phones, and stitched 360° photos (spherical camera): JPEG, GoPro GPR, HEIC All products (Files checked; flight test pending)
- Wingtra (Sony RX1R II, a6100), Freefly Astro (Sony a7R IV, a7R V), Phase One iXM and IQ, Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax bodies: JPEG, and raw: ARW, IIQ, CR2, CR3, NEF, ORF, RW2, PEF, RAF, DNG All products (Files checked; flight test pending)

## Multispectral

The bands are processed apart from the RGB photos of the same flight and delivered as one orthophoto with a band per layer, values as the camera records them.

- DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral: TIFF per band, with the RGB JPEG Multispectral orthophoto beside every RGB product (Tested on a real flight)
- DJI P4 Multispectral, MicaSense RedEdge and Altum, Parrot Sequoia, Sentera 6X: TIFF per band Multispectral orthophoto (Read by the engine; not yet tested by us)

## Thermal

Radiometric photos are turned into temperatures before processing, with the settings the camera recorded, and the thermal orthophoto is delivered in degrees Celsius, as the camera records them.

- DJI Zenmuse H20T: R-JPEG Thermal orthophoto in °C (Tested on a real flight)
- DJI Mavic 3T: R-JPEG Thermal orthophoto in °C (Tested on a real flight)
- DJI Zenmuse H20N, H30T, XT S; Matrice 30T, Matrice 4T; Mavic 3TD; Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced: R-JPEG Thermal orthophoto in °C (Files checked; flight test pending)
- DJI Zenmuse XT2: Radiometric JPEG (FLIR) Thermal orthophoto in °C (Tested on a real flight)
- DJI Zenmuse XT, FLIR Vue Pro R and Duo Pro R, Parrot ANAFI Thermal: Radiometric JPEG (FLIR) Thermal orthophoto in °C (Files checked; flight test pending)
- Autel EVO Max 4T, EVO II Dual 640T (iRay core): Radiometric JPEG, or JPEG with its .irg file Thermal orthophoto in °C (Files checked; flight test pending)
- MicaSense Altum thermal band, Sentera 6X Thermal: TIFF Thermal band in the multispectral orthophoto (Read by the engine; not yet tested by us)
- FLIR Vue Pro R and Boson-based cameras (radiometric TIFF): 16-bit TIFF, linear in temperature Thermal orthophoto in °C (Read by the engine; not yet tested by us)
- Autel EVO II Dual 640T (Guide core), Workswell WIRIS: Their own formats Thermal image orthophoto, without temperatures (for now) (Read by the engine; not yet tested by us)

## LiDAR and point clouds

Clouds are classified (ground, vegetation, buildings) and turned into terrain and surface models, contours and a streamable cloud.

- Any LiDAR or photogrammetry cloud: LAS, LAZ, COPC All LiDAR products (Tested on a real flight)
- Terrestrial and mobile scanners, other software: E57, PLY, PCD, BPF, XYZ, PTS, PTX, 3D Tiles points All LiDAR products (Files checked; flight test pending)
- DJI Zenmuse L1, L2, L3: Export LAS or LAZ from DJI Terra (free for Zenmuse point clouds), then upload it All LiDAR products (Read by the engine; not yet tested by us)
- FARO, RIEGL, Leica, Trimble, Topcon, Z+F, Autodesk ReCap; tiled meshes and scenes (S3MB, OSGB, SLPK): Export LAS, LAZ or E57 from the scanner's software first All LiDAR products (Read by the engine; not yet tested by us)

## Positioning and site files

Upload them with the photos: each is recognised and used by the run.

- DJI RTK flights: MRK beside the photos Camera positions from the RTK fix (Files checked; flight test pending)
- DJI PPK: the drone's GNSS log and a base station (yours or a public reference station): MRK, PPKOBS/PPKNAV or PPKRAW, base RINEX (.obs, .YYo, .rnx, .crx) Camera positions computed after the flight (Files checked; flight test pending)
- Ground control: gcp_list.txt, or Agisoft Metashape's marker export (XML) Model fitted to the control; CHK points measured (Files checked; flight test pending)
- A site outline: GeoJSON, KML, KMZ (also DJI mapping missions), Shapefile, GeoPackage, DXF with .prj Processing limited to the outline (Files checked; flight test pending)
