Cornell meeting 8/28/2023

Does ImageBreed have a means of doing color calibration? Would need to upload a color checker and then apply?

Can Open Drone Map automate the use of a color checker? Version 1 is to include that in application 1.

We won’t worry about GCP’s in version 1.

Open Drone Map is what ImageBreed is using. They had some initial quality concerns but they think they were addressed.

Goal of project was to fly a dual payload - Ultium PT is on backorder (so having to fly 2 drones)

Saving data:

Drone name

Priority

Field Name

Working on abbreviations for the fields - still a challenge

Everytime turn on sensor - generates a folder (even if no data)

Dunne group has been experimenting with UgCS, which you can get an academic license for ~$500

So right now it looks like most processing is happening on the local workstation - then moving into a “transfer” folder

19w of runs so far

Raw Data: 3.5Tb

Processed Data: Nearly about as big as the Raw

What data do we want to retain? Cost either in transfer or storage eventually

Transfer on campus with workstation: now at Gb/speeds

Moving to Sandhills: processing should occur on campus; ready any time now

BreedBase is used for pulling queries for the Python scripts to run in ImageBreed; then pushes back to the normal BreedBase instance

Probably could be better partitioned than it is now

Ultimately would like the ImageBreed to function separately from BreedBase - long-term separate piece of code that could use with any BrAPI system

If pushing and pulling from BreedBase - where does systems need to sit??

“Enterprise Breeding System”

Right now - ImageBreed has been forked from BreedBase and needs to be merged back in

One of goals: push more of breeders here into the BrAPI system

Cleanly pull out the image processing part of ImageBreed from BreedBase part

No BRAPI compliance for the database here BrAPI compliant export here. Could be

universal even if not planning on using

a BrAPI compliant database

Open

Field trial required to exist already for ImageBreed upload/analysis

Is there a way to manipulate “field trials” required information to what limited information we have?

Extract component of image processing <-> single component

Raw Data Import to NCSU database <-> Import orthoMosaics by BrAPI from Application 1 via User Query <-> Export to BreedBase by BrAPI

Should we spin up an ImageBreed server and test it with some of our HP projects this year??
