Managing image sequences as ‘Episodes’.

[saulgreenberg]

Cameras can capture a series of images (in motion detection mode) that, for example, represents a single animal walking through a scene. An analyst may want to consider this is a single episode.

Possible enhancement: -A user should be able to

• tag multiple photos as belonging a single episode
• collapse (or expand) that episode: only a single image is displayed for that episode (defaulting to the first image)
• optionally change the representative photo to illustrate that episode
• enter data in the collapsed state, where that data is applied to all images in that episode
• only a single line will be added to the spreadsheet for that episode (this could be a settable option)
• a unique number is generated, where all images in that episode are tagged with that number (e.g., if data for all images in that episode are exported to the spreadsheet)

Users didn't seem to want or need this. Their strategy is to enter separate data as needed across an episode. For example, if there were 5 shots of an elk crossing a scene, they would only enter data on the first shot.
