How to switch UAV Processing toolbox for fixed camera tool box #78

Open trkim117 opened 5 years ago

trkim117 commented 5 years ago

Hi Everybody! Since UAV toolbox is so useful, it will be great to have fixed camera option in UAV toolbox. It is easy to take out ginput function for GCP but it is not easy to pass reference points. What is the best way to run UAV toolbox with just GCP information at the beginning and without ginput. for reference points? Is there any key function to cut it off? If you let me know your experiences, it will save a lot of time. Thank you for your time in advance!

Hi trkim117, At the moment the reference points are necessary in the UAV toolbox workflow. In case of a fixed camera, yes you could bypass this step, but there is no option in the toolbox to skip this step (at least in the GUI version).

@burritobrittany and @SRHarrison use the UAV Toolbox for fixed cameras, but I don't know how they have changed the code for there applications.

Thank you for comments and information. I found that the easiest way is to do as followings,

%if ~oldGeoms% [beta1,~,~,failFlag] = ... % findNewBeta(Ig,betas(cnt-1,~meta.globals.knownFlags), meta); % if failFlag
% deal with end of useable run% break % else betas(cnt,:) = beta1; betas(cnt,:) = betas(1,:); % end %end

Hi trkim117, I thought of you have been using this UAV tool box for your applications, I just want to use this tool box to extract some coastal features but, I have been understanding this tool box slowly, I have run sample .m file that is sampleAerielleVideoDemo.m and understood that how it's taking GCPs and producing Timex, Dark and bright images as final output like this, so now I want to start with new video data from fixed camera in my study region with proper GCPs. I want to run this tool box for my new data. Since I am newbie to this, can you let me know that how many .m and .mat files in whole UAV tool box exactly do we need to edit with my own data to run successfully for my data. I have GCPs(lat, lon, height), intrinisic and extrinsic parameters, I didn't understand as of now that where exactly do we need to give I mean what are those.m for .mat files. (To enter my GCPs in DemoFileGCP.mat but, how to convert my lat, lon and height into local coordinates ). Please also let me know if are there any nice webinar or videos for beginners to use this tool box.

Hi @sivaiahborra I would try using the new Introduction to Quantitative Coastal Imagery Toolbox. We are currently phasing out the UAVToolbox. The new toolbox is more applicable for fixed camera stations and beginners.

Best, Brittany

Thank you for your mail. I have video data from one fixed camera and want use that video to extract coastal features but as I am trying to search how to do that then I came to know that UAV toolbox will be helpful in that.Then i started reading UAV toolbox and trying to understand how to use it for my own data. My ultimate work is to get continuous georectified outputs like Timex, dark, bright and variance images, bathymetry, coastline etc from video data. Which do you suggest I do then? Hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Sir, I have been going through documentation. The way describing things is pretty good than previous and could be understood a bit well. Coming to user inputs, I have collected GCPs, Extrinsic such as X,Y,Z, azimuth, tilt and roll of camera but, in case of intrinsic parameters,

What input should I collect to get intrinsic parameters and how? I have doubts about what kind of newly purchased camera lens details do I need to collect and get [1x11] intrinsic vector? and how to use caltech to derive these?

Shall I replace GCPs in uasDemoFlight_NCSP_GCPS.txt file with my GCPs either in Lat, Lon and height or UTM? hope to hear from you soon.
