Generalizing the TERRA REF pipelines for processing data from UAV's
Our main site is on OSF: UA Open Drone Pipeline.
This project is leveraging the work done in the TERRA REF project to create a drone-specific processing pipeline for plant based analysis. It assumes you are familiar with Clowder's concepts of extractors.
We also have an separate GitHub project with a focus on the Drone Processing Pipeline as an independent entity at https://github.com/az-digitalag/Drone-Processing-Pipeline.
There are several challenges to adapting the pipeline to work with drone data. Among these challenges are:
By setting the appropriate development goals, it's believed the above challenges can be addressed in a way that provides relevance into the future. These goals are:
To provide a meaningful pipeline as quickly as possible, an iterative approach is being taken. This approach will restrict the achievement of the goals in the short term, but will not prevent their completion in the future. For example, a custom pipeline job submission API may not be available immediately, but hand-driven custom pipeline processing could be.
User stories are used to define the goals and needs of drone pipeline users.
