Use the following directory pattern to upload your images (full path):
Shared/<site_name>/Data/EcoImages/LAI/DCP/<plot>/<YYYYMMDD>/<upward/downward>
e.g. Shared/AliceMulga/Data/EcoImages/LAI/DCP/core1ha/20200106/upwardplot = core1ha (default for all sites) or other plot name as per below table;
YYYYMMDD = date of image capture, also known as Site Visit ID;
upward/downward = allows you to separate images that were taken pointing the camera upwards (i.e. towards the sky) and images that were taken pointing the camera downwards (i.e. towards the ground).
If the folder structure does not already exist, please create it.
If the images were take in order as described by () and there is one image for each of the 81 positions within the plot, the images do not need to be renamed. If the images were taken in a different order, and/or the number of images is less or more than 81, the images need to be renamed indicating the corresponding position within the plot, from 1 to 81. E.g.

If you calculated LAI for your images, please provide the data using this template https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XIXmZc5AFr7kAXpULI-8wSauuBw0Rdvj4oQpJmnSPlw/edit#gid=0 (example at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-uzGv7xBSZl0V51zpU6rF-WnlBy4QIMoE-R7uPanIVA/edit#gid=0).
Add the average LAI in the “overstorey_lai” and / or “understorey_lai” column and update the other columns.
81 images are used to calculate the average LAI, i.e. the LAI of all images in the set is added together, and the sum is divided by 81. If some of the 81 images do not include any leaf area (i.e. their LAI = 0), the sum is still divided by 81 to calculate the average. In this case please add the number of images without any leaf area (i.e. LAI = 0) to the column “num_points_with_zero_lai” in the lai_result.csv file.
Upload this file to your “Site Visit ID” directory Shared/<site_name>/Data/EcoImages/LAI/DCP/<plot>/<YYYYMMDD>/
