Documenting Field Research with Specimen Photography
Field researchers photograph biological specimens, geological formations, and archaeological artifacts for taxonomic identification and record-keeping. Photos need consistent lighting correction and size standardization.
Workflow
- Photograph specimens with a scale reference and identification labels
- Use the Image Rotator to correct orientation of field-taken photos
- Use the Image Cropper to standardize framing across all specimen photos
- Use the Image Resizer to create consistent dimensions for the specimen database
- Use the Image Compressor to optimize for the field database storage system
- Upload processed images to the specimen management database with metadata
