Oh, yes! We could only see static colors images for the moment. If it
moved, we could better have a representation of Ingenuity's motion.

I have no "ground truth" about how the camera moves. NASA has data from
various sensors, because there is an IMU that is embedded. The comment
is explaining for the sixth flight, that those sensors are drifting...
"
If the navigation system relied on the IMU alone, it would not be very
accurate in the long run: Errors would quickly accumulate, and the
helicopter would eventually lose its way. To maintain better accuracy
over time, the IMU-based estimates are nominally corrected on a regular
basis, and this is where Ingenuity’s navigation camera comes in. 
For the
majority of time airborne, the downward-looking navcams are taking 30
pictures a second of the Martian surface and immediately feeding them
into the helicopter’s navigation system.

Here's my result on 8th flight <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRUh37x

I'm using public data. And those are extracted from real Mars data
acquired with the helicopter. NASA is not transmitting videos with
30 images/second. I have to deal with it. This is fantastic to work
on martian images, nevertheless :-)

Thanks for your interest.
