How to run UAV toolbox successfully with my own video imgery data from fixed single camera?

[sivaiahborra]

Dear All,
As a beginner, I have run sampleAerielleVideoDemo.m of UAV toolbox script and came to know how it's going on bit and started trying with my own data.

As per my understanding after documentation reading, I have collected user inputs GCPs in FOV of my video, Extrinsic parameters (x,y,z, azimuth, tilt and roll of my camera), Intrinsic parameters (camera lens details) but, had a doubt in how and which lcp file do I need to edit to enter entries of my camera, what about beta (I understood it will be created by no GCPs something like that).

I have collected lat, lon and height data in few locations within the field of view in a video. So I want to make my own demoGCPFile.mat by giving lat,lon and height values. I came to know that gcp values are in somewhat vector form (Local coordinates) I guess when I open demoGCPFile.mat. In this regard, can please anyone let me know how to convert the lat, lon and height values of each GCP in such format (from geographical lat, lon, height to local coordinates) given in demoGCPFile.mat.

Please can anyone let me know that can I convert my GCPs from geographical coordinates (lat, lon, height) into my local coordinates (x-offshore,y-alongshore,z)? if so, is there any .m specific for that?

It would be grateful to me if someone let me know that what else direct and derived user inputs (beta) do I require other than above mentioned and what and in which order all .m and .mat files in whole UAV tool box do I need to modify with my input data before running UAV toolbox to get output like Timex, dark, bright images...

Thanks

Hi @sivaiahborra ,

There is no m-file to convert geographical coordinates to local coordinates in the UAV Toolbox. There is an mfile in the new toolbox at the following link:

https://github.com/Coastal-Imaging-Research-Network/CIRN-Introduction-to-Quantitative-Coastal-Imaging-Toolbox

In this toolbox, you enter your gcps in geographical coordinates and it will do the rotation for you.

This toolbox also is more appropriate for a fixed camera. Also, please look at the Wiki...there is a lot of documentation!

I am happy to answer any questions you have!

Also ...we will be having an online course teaching the toolbox for beginners in the Fall. So please keep checking the website!
