Drone Dataflow - A MATLAB toolbox for processing images captured by a UAV

Requirements

• MATLAB 2018a or newer with the following toolboxes:
  • Optimization Toolbox
  • Mapping Toolbox
  • Image Processing Toolbox
  • Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox
  • Aerospace Toolbox
• ExifTool (https://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/)
  • Note: ExifTool is used for reading metadata from the images. E.g. GPS position.

Installation

1. Download and unzip the toolbox: https://github.com/anderskm/drone-dataflow/archive/master.zip
   • Note: For easy access from MATLAB consider placing the unzipped toolbox into a folder in your MATLAB search path.
2. Download and install ExifTool (https://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/)
   • Note: If you already have an existing installation of ExifTool, you can skip this step.
3. Start MATLAB in the folder, where you unzipped the toolbox.
4. Write "dronedataflow" in the MATLAB Command Window to open the Drone Dataflow toolbox GUI.
5. Select the desired task and follow the instructions.
   • Note: Check MATLABs Command Window for progress and details.
   • Note: The first time ExifTool is called, you will be prompted to locate it on your pc.
