Support GeoTIFF format for GPS import #244

Closed mzur closed 7 months ago

Get example data of the GeoTIFF format from the Senckenberg people. Support this format as an alternative to the CSV image metadata upload. The format includes:

GPS coordinates for each image
A detailed map overlay of the sea floor (fixes BiodataMiningGroup/biigle-geo#1)

See if this could be a start.

I'm not sure if it's common to store the geospatial information on an entire volume of images in a single GeoTIFF. Maybe they meant that the TIFF only contains information on the position of the image on a world map (see the geo overlays). If true this issue will be resolved when the geo overlays are implemented.

This will be resolved by https://github.com/biigle/geo/issues/44 as geo overlays.
