Managing image sequences as ‘Episodes’.

[saulgreenberg]

Managing image sequences as ‘Episodes’. 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)

Thinking about it: could detect time differences between images. If less than threshold, images belong together. But not quite sure how to record or display that sequence. User reports: As a trial with me only what do you think of making a break any place where there is no activity from 2 minutes after one event to 2 minutes before the next? That might be a lot of work but wondering if it might help speed up our ability to classify.

Done. Text is overlayed atop images to show the image number in a sequence
