Compute plot level information from UAV data

[dlebauer]

Description

• Use polygons here: to subset calibrated UAV data to plot level data that can be inserted into BETYdb: https://terraref.ncsa.illinois.edu/bety/api/beta/sites?key=
• Add methods as necessary to
  • github.com/terraref/documentation
  • cross reference these in https://terraref.ncsa.illinois.edu/bety/methods
• Add variables as necessary to https://terraref.ncsa.illinois.edu/bety/variables/new
  • first search https://betydb.org/variables; we can move existing variables as needed
• Create a csv called 'traits.csv' that includes the following columns
  • sitename (this is the name of the plots, format is MAC Field Scanner Field Plot *** Season 2)
  • trait name (e.g. NDVI etc. once you have)
  • n (optional, can be 'effective n' if appropriate)
  • SD (optional, if available, can be defined in methods documentation)
  • methods.name

Context

This can be used to insert UAV data into BETYdb.

Further Suggestions / Request for Feedback

• Documentation is here: https://pecan.gitbooks.io/betydbdoc-dataentry/content/trait_insertion_api.html
  • note that the most of the other metadata (site, cultivar, treatments, etc) is already in the database or will be entered separately.
• Data can be added to the traits table using either the csv or json format (@gsrohde can help with this)
• I (@dlebauer) can help show you how to define the variables and methods

Sounds great ! we'll work on this once we have the finalized shapefile and orthomosaicked UAV data.

@Mamatemenrs and @remotesensinglab could you please create a separate issue defining the deliverables for Rick and his employee what they need to provide (e.g. georeferenced geotiff files for each sensor x flight combination?

Is this waiting on #188 ?
