Makes underground treasures visible Instruction manual 13

Quick start

Before start

1. To learn how to properly and safely use the DroneRover app, rst nd an area that is not

populated, is at and has no obstacles, so it is safe to y. A perfect test scan area can be

a meadow or eld, away from houses & trees with no animals, people or other obstacles.

2. Place a drone on a at clean surface with clear surroundings for safe drone

launching and landing�

3. Check indicators to make sure that all devices are properly connected and turned ON:

• drone is connect to the app

• all batteries are full

• link to sensor is established

4. Make sure the map is updated and that you can clearly see your location and

location of the drone� Remember to always keep a safe distance from the drone!

Once all these conditions are met, continue with automated or manual scanning.

TREASUREHUNTER3D

Makes underground treasures visible Instruction manual 14

Automated scanning

4. Drag rectangle over an area on the

map you would like to scan.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTION

Make sure that:

• there are no obstacles inside the area

you selected

• there are no obstacles on the way from the

drone current location to selected area

• area you are about to scan is at

3. Press “Scan new area” button.

If you would like to change the scan area you can always

tap and mark new area�

2. Press “Apply” to exit setting menu.

1. Open settings menu and select

Flight setting.

SET:

• Scan mode: AUTO

• Scan resolution: LOW

• Altitude hold: CONSTANT

• Altitude: 10m

TREASUREHUNTER3D

Makes underground treasures visible Instruction manual 15

7. Once scanning is completed drone will y back to its home location and land.

Some of the latest DJi drone versions might not land completely but stop 0�5m before ground

is reached. For this model, the user needs to conrm landing with the remote controller by

pressing down on the left handle�

6. Press “Scan mission” button and

conrm take off, the drone will

now y to scan the area and

start scanning.

Notice that you can always pause / abort

mission by pressing: Abort button in the app

(see: Aborting mission chapter for more

details) or Home button on Remote control

to return drone back to home position�

5. Make sure to keep distance from the drone and you are not located in the

drone’s way to scan the area.

Due to National Drone Safety Regulations, autopilot can only y 2m over the surface.

In order to achieve best sensitivity it is recommended to y as close to the surface

as possible (e.g. 0.5m).

This can be achieved by Manual scan mode�

TREASUREHUNTER3D

4. Drag rectangle over an area on the

map you would like to scan.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTION

Make sure that:

• there are no obstacles inside the area

you selected

• there are no obstacles on the way from the

drone current location to selected area

• area you are about to scan is at

3. Press “Scan new area” button.

If you would like to change the scan area you can always

tap and mark new area�

2. Press “Apply” to exit setting menu.

1. Open settings menu and select

Flight setting.

SET:

• Scan mode: MANUAL

• Scan resolution: LOW

TREASUREHUNTER3D

Makes underground treasures visible Instruction manual 17

7. A pop-up window will appear to

select automatic or manual take off

or cancel the ight.

When automatic takeoff is selected the drone

will take off by itself while in manual remote

control needs to be used to take off�

After that remote control needs to be

used to y over the marked area and to

perform scanning�

During the ight please make sure that you y

at constant altitude from the ground

and also constant speed�

6. Press the “Scan mission” button, app will now check GPS signal, battery

and other drone status indicators to conrm everything is ok and ready

for safe ight.

5. Make sure to keep distance from the drone and you are not located in the

drone’s way to scan the area.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Best scan results are achieved when the drone is ying stable with no fast

movements and as close to the ground as possible� Scanning should be

performed at a constant speed (2-3m/s). An unstable drone ight will result

in sensor error readings�

TREASUREHUNTER3D

Makes underground treasures visible Instruction manual 18

Sensor reading / scan interpretation

When a drone ys over a selected area, scan results are updated in real-time using

different colours to indicate target probability�

GRAY COLOUR indicates that sensor reading was incorrect due to unstable drone

ight caused by wind or other disturbance.

GREEN COLOUR indicates that there was nothing detected�

YELLOW COLOUR indicates that there is high probability of object�

RED COLOUR indicates that there is highest probability of object�

If the scan was not updated on some locations this means that either signal

from the sensor was lost (bad link between sensor and receiver unit) or drone

has problems receiving proper GPS signal�

TREASUREHUNTER3D

Makes underground treasures visible Instruction manual 19

Sensor settings & calibration

Sensor settings enable users to set sensor sensitivity, stability limit and perform sensor calibration�

Customsensitivityprole

Custom sensitivity prole can help you to get the best out of DroneRover devices and it is denitely

worth being used once you already get familiar with the device�

Custom sensitivity prole enables user to adjust 3 things:

Stability limit - unstable drone ight can cause false

sensor reading, by setting stability limit users can

eliminate these false readings, so that they appear as

grey colour when displayed on scan area� Lower stability

limit values mean that the drone needs to y very stable,

by that we can make sure that measurements are ok, but

on the other side requires the user to navigate the drone

very smoothly� Higher values can be used when it is not

possible to y stable due to wind or other reasons. Users

should be aware that when the stability limit is set to

higher values, sensor readings might not be as valid as for

the lower stability limit values�

Sensitivity range - provides user ability to set sensitivity

threshold (left slider) and sensitivity level (right slider).

Signals that are lower than sensitivity threshold will

spread on the screen in green colour - indicating that there

is no object found� By using sensitivity threshold we can

eliminate environmental noise or ignore smaller targets

and underground anomalies�

Sensitivity level denes the limit of the signal that needs

to be reached to display the target on the scan area with

highest probability (in red colour). Sensitivity level can be

used to compress sensor signals and make smaller

targets more or less visible compared to bigger targets�

In other words, signals lower than the sensitivity threshold

will appear on the scan in green, and will turn yellow and

red when they reach sensitivity level�

SENSOR SENSITIVITY

Sensor sensitivity denes how strong the signal from the sensor will be when objects or other underground anomalies

are detected� It is recommended to start scanning with HIGHEST sensitivity and reduce it if the signal from the sensor

is too strong� Lower sensitivities when the interest is to only detect very big & massive objects and ignore smaller targets�

There are several proles available from HIGH to LOW, while experienced and advanced users can also dene CUSTOM

sensitivity prole.

TREASUREHUNTER3D

Makes underground treasures visible Instruction manual 20

SENSOR CALIBRATION

DroneRover has an integrated error correction system that requires calibration� In order to achieve

best scanning results, the sensor needs to be calibrated after being mounted on the drone�

Procedure to calibrate the sensor goes as follows�

1. Make sure to go to location that has no metallic objects in the eld of 50m

and you are also not wearing any of it�

2. Start application & check indicators to make sure that all devices are properly connected and turned ON�

• drone is connect to the app

• batteries are full

• link to sensor is established

3. Enter settings menu�

4. Click calibration and follow procedure in the application�

It is recommended to repeat calibration from time to time, especially when the sensor is re-mounted to the drone�
