UASsist: Assistant for Unmanned Aircraft System photogrammetry for surveying and mapping applications.

• Free software: GNU General Public License v3
• Documentation: https://nathanmckinney.github.io/uassist

Features

• Reads image metadata and displays information important for UAS surveys
• Displays photo coordinates on a map embedded in a notebook
• Input single image or folder containing multiple images
• Folder inputs will calculate average, min, max altitude for project and range of timestamps
• Change basemaps and upload geojson or shapefiles to display map
• Converts image locations and attributes to files:
  • CSV text
  • GEOJSON
  • KML
  • GEOPACKAGE
  • ESRI Shapefile
• TODO:
  • Create project metadata file
  • Separate images into sub project folders using breaks in timestamp
  • Create flight pattern lines
  • Check EXIF altitude over DEM elevation
• TODO eventually if possible:
  • Incorporate extended and non-standard EXIF tags for certain manufacturers
