Create 5 subfolders, one for photopoint position [NE, NW, SE, SW, C]. If photographs have been taken in the correct order ([N, E, S, W] or [NE, SE, SW, NW]) then images can simply be uploaded to their position folder. Alternatively, if photographs have not been taken in order, then a simple prefix is required to indicate direction, e.g. E_IMG_1358.jpg for East.
Use the following directory pattern to upload your images (full path): Shared/<site_name>/Data/EcoImages/PhotoPoint/plot_id/YYYYMMDD/position/direction_image_name<position>
e.g. Shared/GreatWesternWoodlands/Data/EcoImages/PhotoPoint/core1ha/20200106/NE/E_IMG001.jpgplot_id = core1ha or other plot name;
YYYYMMDD = date of image capture, also known as Site Visit ID;
Position = position on plot (NE, NW, SE, SW, C)
Direction = (optional) prefix image name with direction, e.g. E_IMG0359.jpg. If the photos were taken in correct order then this is not necessary, direction will be taken from the order that they appear in the CloudStor directory. Correct direction order is . Correct direction order is [N, E, S, W] and [NE, SE, SW, NW]
Within each position folder [NE, NW, SE, SW, C]:
If the photographs were taken in the correct order, i.e. [N, E, S, W] for plot corners and or [NE, SE, SW, NW] for the centre.
...
, there is no need to rename the images. The direction will be assigned based on the order of the images in the CloudStor directory.
If the photographs were not taken in order, please add a prefix to the image name to indicate its direction, e.g. E_IMG_1358.jpg for east.
Two examples are given below, one where images are prefixed with direction and another example where this isn’t is not necessary.
Example 1. Photographs are were not taken in the correct order, therefore filenames are prefixed with a direction.
...
Example 2. Photographs are were taken in correct order. Therefore, direction is not required.
