In a meeting today a change was requested for this issue. Instead of finding the satellite region containing the observation find the satellite region with the closest centroid. Additional add two new columns to the resulting CSV:
sat_in
column with values of 1 or 0 for if the observation is within the satellite regionsat_distance
distance the observation is from the centroid of the matching satellite regionWe should also add a message on the fetch-observations screen explaining that the RGB/Landcover checkboxes are only meant for QUEST 2023. I slightly tweaked a suggestion by @egrace479 for this message and came up with:
Note the RGB and landcover satellite is specific to the Princeton, NJ
area, as it was developed for QUEST 2023.
Satellite CSV data can now be joined with iNaturalist observations (see #44). The satellite data may contain overlapping regions. This can result in multiple regions being matched for a single iNaturalist observation. When this occurs choose the region who's center is the closest to the observation lat/long.
