Extract flight path

Workflow

This workflow Extract image information does not require user inputs. This step will be automatically triggered when images are uploaded from web interface, but manually triggered if images directly copied into data storage. In the server side, image information are extracted from all uploaded images including

  • Latitude
  • Longitude
  • Elevation
  • Width
  • Height
  • Capture time

Images without location information are ignored. The images in a single shutter (i.e. the same location) are grouped together (e.g. multiply spectral camera).

The thermal camera (e.g. Flir Tau2) might capture multiple images in a second which have the same GPS location. These images are grouped to view them on the flight path.

View flight path

The flight path is rendered on the map using openlayers with points for the image locations and line string which is colored by the flight elevation. The flight elevation also is available in the panel at the top right corner. Hovering mouse over the elevation figure shows a star on the map and value of flight height.

Example of flight path

View raw images

The raw image is rendered on the map using openlayers through clicking each point on the flight path. Images can be switched if there are multiple image in the same locations. The images are tiled using vips and served with IIPImage for high performance rendering on the web browser.
