Create command-line utility to mimic the Batch Processing notebook

[poynting]

Notebooks are nice, but a command-line tool for stacking would be handy

Should, at minimum, take
-folder of input images to stack
-folder to store the results
-explicit path of image to use for alignment
-explicit path of image containing a panel
-whether or not to generate preview images (e.g. RGB, CIR, etc)
-(options) which bands to use for the previews (e.g. 3,2,1 for RedEdge RGB)

Potential additions/improvements:

• Substitute alignment image with a file specifying the warp matrices
• Substitute panel image with a file containing a time series of irradiance information
• Option to stack in parallel using n cores
• Include reading of a vector polygon file to define area of images to process
• HTML output report containing map of images like the current notebook

@poynting I dig in the subject and find this tutorial that can help.

Hi, I did a rough version of this to process a batch of Altum images. Would be happy to share the code if you think it would be help, although my coding skills are not spectacular.

I'm working on writing something similar at the moment. It'd be amazingly helpful if you could share your code - if you don't mind :)

I would also be interested in this, if possible! I am working with Altum imagery too and it would be very helpful as I'm not a coding professional either. Cheers :)

I'm happy to check out a PR or gist if anyone has code they would like to share.

[mdanilevicz]

Sure, no problems.
I will take a look at it to check if it is still running and share :)

The script is uploaded here https://github.com/moDanilevicz/multispectral_img

To run a test you have to use a few flags:
radio_calib_draft.py -i -p -o -t <thumbnails? True/False> --dls <use it?True/False>

The code itself can be improved (and organized) a lot, but hope this can help :)

Edit: Suggestions to improve are more than welcome.

@moDanilevicz thanks for linking your code :)

[poynting]

Thanks for working on this all. I have merged @JPI93's code from #114 into a branch (reconcile-cli-113) and we'll plan to work from there.
