Photoquadrats_tools is a collection of R scripts for managing, processing, and analyzing metadata from photoquadrats, designed to streamline workflows for marine research and annotation platforms.
🚨 Warning: Running this script will permanently stamp GPS positions onto your photos. Ensure you have backups of the original files before use.
- Extracts metadata from photos using the
exifrpackage. - Integrates GPS data from
.gpxfiles. - Merges dive computer and Paralenz camera data.
- Embeds GPS data into photo metadata using
exiftool.
Generates metadata files compatible with CoralNet and BIIGLE platforms, simplifying photo annotation workflows.
- BIIGLE Metadata:
- Extracts EXIF data.
- Formats metadata fields to meet BIIGLE requirements.
- Adds columns for ground distance and image area.
- CoralNet Metadata:
- Formats metadata fields for CoralNet's requirements.
- Adds standard fields (e.g., water quality, framing gear).
- Prepares
.csvfiles ready for upload.
Analyzes underwater tracking data and visualizes dive paths and associated photo locations.
