4. UxS Problem Statements
Mission planning – there is no single format for exchange of mission planning data that can be transferred to different equipment,
Operations – how does the device communicate its position and orientation; how does it “Get home;” what sensors help guide the device?
Data acquisition – how does data get tagged with metadata; what formats are supported; is data transmitted during collection?
Data exchange – imagery may be stored just a few common formats (JPEG, GeoTIFF, various raw formats, etc.), but given the fact that many observations might be highly oblique, what requirements need to be inserted into metadata standards?
Data processing – Mosaicking/compilation of data from multiple acquisition paths with the resulting resolution and precision considerations. Handling of temporal artifacts (temperature, sunlight, haze, etc.) to provide data consistency across subsequent revisits.
Archival data formats - Interoperable formats that allow for easy replay of missions and re-purposing of data for additional uses.
