Van den Borne: een camera systeem om foto's van gewassen te maken op willekeurige locaties
https://farmhacknl.github.io/digital-eye/WebContent/
The farmer's problem
- has a lot of data (maps, satellite/drone images, sensors) but lacks visual information about his/her crops
- collecting visual information (photographs) is a manual - and therefore error prone - process
Our solution: automate the picture taking process by
- attaching a smart camera to a farm vehicle
- building an app/platfrom that 1) allows the farmer to pinpoint locations that he/she wants photographed and 2) makes the camera take pictures when the machine passes these locations
- collecting all photographs at a central location combined with additional information such as date, plot ID, time, crop, weathers, etc.

Part 1. Simulate Photograph Creation This HTML file combined with Javascript creates a Polygon at given GEOLocations. A marker is placed at the edge of the Polygon and moves slowly in a given direction. Within the Polygon a user can place a Point Of Interest which is represented by a circle. If the marker crosses this circle it will write a quick alert which says it has taken a photograph.
Part 2. Simulate Photograph Usage
The Html file contains simple GUI options to select photo's from photo archive (called north and south).
A route can be selected on which dots with photographs are displayed green.
The user can select such a dot and browse throught the photographs (enlarged by clicking on the photograph)
Via arrow keys the user can direct the car inside the selected landscape.
