Details

These functions allow you to define a default set of supplemental metadata fields that can be assigned image collections either as a function argument, or a small text file placed in the directory with the images. Note in this context 'supplemental metadata' refers to bits of information that can not be automatically extracted from the images themselves (e.g., the name of the project or pilot.)

Creating a default set of supplemental metadata fields does not make them mandatory, nor does it limit the metadata fields you can use. The default set serves as a template when a new metadata.txt file is created.

Functions

  • uas_setflds(): Set default fields for image collection metadata.

  • uas_getflds(): Get default supplemental metadata field names.

  • uas_flds_oem(): Get a standard set of image collection metedata fields
