Description

While I am looking the file photo.py from ODM, exactly here:
https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/ODM/blob/12e5b63b6f5423383892d325467b64ce295e3a9c/opendm/photo.py#L463

I see using of gimbal's roll and pitch BUT flight's yaw instead of gimbal's yaw.

On the other side when looking into file exif.py from opensfm, exactly here:
https://github.com/mapillary/OpenSfM/blob/537275b730d7a6417fce68c3645f69c834bddca3/opensfm/exif.py#L494

then I see what I expect or claim to be, is there any explanation for that?

asas

My regards.

Research direction

Compare the referenced ODM photo.py line with OpenSfM's exif.py line and trace how each yaw value is interpreted. Confirm the intended behavior with maintainers before selecting a code or documentation location; done would be a maintainer-approved explanation of the difference, with tests only if a behavior change is requested.
