Add "capture distance" to cameras before alignment #43

Open youngdjn opened 8 months ago

This should help with reference preselection for image matching. It should be the distance between the camera and the ground/surface. It seems OK to compute this assuming the ground is a flat plane -- at least it should get better matching than not specifying it. It requires knowing the altitude AGL of each image. Perhaps pull from OFO metadata.
