This repository contains the QGIS distribution for use with MAPIR cameras. The distribution is in a beta stage while we work on getting it placed in the QGIS plugin repository.

Camera supported:

• MAPIR Survey2 (all filter models)
• DJI Inspire X3 with PEAU 3.97mm NDVI (Red+NIR) lens installed
• DJI Phantom 4 & 3 with PEAU 3.97mm NDVI (Red+NIR) lens installed

Functionality for above supported cameras includes:

• Convert Survey2 RAW to TIFF, converts DJI DNG to TIFF
• Calibrate directory of images using MAPIR Reflectance Target image taken before survey or uses built-in reflectance values if no target image supplied
• Converts TIFF to JPG after calibration if desired

Functionality still in the works:

• Creating index images

• Download and install QGIS program HERE
• Download the MAPIR_Processing folder, unzip it and add the "MAPIR_Processing" folder to your C:\Users\ (your computer user name) .qgis2\python\plugins folder (if the plugins folder does not exist, please create it). Note: Check to make sure there is no sub directory named "MAPIR_Processing" in your "MAPIR_PRocessing" folder. If there is, copy the contents of the sub directory to C:\Users\ (your computer user name) .qgis2\python\plugins instead.
• Start QGIS as an administrator (right mouse click, run as admin). (Starting as admin only required the first time you run a new install of the plugin)
• In the Plugin menu, select "Manage and Install Plugins", search for "MAPIR", click the check box next to the "MAPIR_Processing" plugin.
• In the QGIS top Plugin menu bar, choose the MAPIR plugin.

##Attention: We've found a fatal flaw in trying to run the plugin on MacOS, Mac support will be discontinued until further notice

• To pre-process images (convet RAW images to TIFFs): -- Select the "Pre-Process" tab -- Select a camera model -- Select an input folder -- Select an output folder -- Press the "Pre-Process Images" button

• To Calibrate images -- Select the "Calibrate" tab -- Select a camera model -- Select a MAPIR ground target image (optional) -- Press the "Generate Calibration Values" button -- Select a folder containing images to calibrate -- Press the "Calibrate Images From Directory" button

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

-Uploaded correct UI file -Camera model index logic -Calibration values generated from default JPG image calibration

-An logic error when reading .tiff calibration target images.

-Typoes cv2tColor -> cvtColor.

• Issue where JPGs from the DJI model cameras were coming out black.

• Issue locating QR taget when supplied with a JPG.
• Issue processing images from Survey1 camera.

• Issue with Calibration step and inproper indexing of camera models.

• Removed the Vignette correction and color normalization due to a critical flaw in the design.
• Modified the UI to support lens and filter options for future use.

• Plugin now allows for users to trun vignette correction on/off

• EXIF information now properly copied, including geotagging information
• Program no longer tries to read GDAL projections from images other than GeoTIFFs

• Vignette correction

• Vignette correction and normalization are now always performed

• Plugin now transfers projection data in preprocess and calibrate steps

• Normalization of RGB images in the Preprocess step.

• Transfer of GeoTIFF metadata.

• Application no longer requires administrator access to run on Windows.

• Plugin no longer loads non image files with "tif" or "jpg" in the filepath.

• Legacy support for Survey1 camera models in Calibrate tab.

• MacOS X is now supported

• Plugin now warns when trying to overwrite tiffs created when preprocessing DNG images instead of throwing an exception.

• Tiffs now properly convert to Jpegs when checking the "Convert calibrated tiffs to jpgs" box

• Found issues when trying to install plugin on Mac OSX. Working on a solution.

• Now stores previously selected filepaths to make navigation easier

• Cleaned up UI layout

• Missing default calibration for DKI camera models
• QR calibration percentage values

• Issue with merging channels in DJIx3 images
