- Copy the images to a directory under /Atlas/VARS_Stn-M_Image_Archive/ImageArchive on the network share Atlas. Only certain staff have write permissions to that directory. If you can't write images there then contact Crissy.
- Once your images are copied, make sure that you can browse them in a web browser. The /Users/Shared/ImageArchive directory can be viewed at http://search.mbari.org/ARCHIVE/VARS_Stn-M_Image_Archive/ImageArchive/
- In order to load the images you'll need a few pieces of information:
- The full web path to the image directory. An example of this path is http://search.mbari.org/ARCHIVE/VARS_Stn-M_Image_Archive/ImageArchive/TripodM/Pulse%2055/101NC_D3/
- The sequence number of the deployment (e.g. 55)
- The latitude and longitude in decimal degrees (+E/-W and +N/-S) (e.g. -123.28179 34.94849166666667)
- The depth in meters of the tripod deployment
- The distance from the lens of the camera to the seafloor
- The angle of inclination of the camera
- Run the VARS loader for tripod images:
- login to the computer seaspray using
ssh seaspray.shore.mbari.org
- Once logged into seaspray you'll need to cd to the correct directory. Do this with
cd /opt/vars-imaging/bin
- Run the loader. You can see the help for it by running it like so:
./gsh ../scripts/groovy/load_tripod.groovy
Here's an example of the full command used to load Pulse 56 images:gsh ../scripts/groovy/load_tripod.groovy \ http://search.mbari.org/ARCHIVE/VARS_Stn-M_Image_Archive/ImageArchive/TripodM/Pulse%2055/101NC_D3/ \ 56 -123.28179 34.94849166666667 4075 2.3 32
