This notebook serves to download GLOBE Landcover photos from the FrontiersData.csv
file that contains the data from the GLOBE Observer and the GO on a Trail Data Challenge: A Citizen Science Approach to Generating a Global Land Cover Land Use Reference Dataset paper. The downloaded photos are mentioned in that paper and stored on the GLOBE Website.
The photos are downloaded with the following naming convention:
GOLC_[measureLatitude]_[measureLongitude]_[siteName]_[SiteElevation]m_[yyyymmdd]_[landCoverId]_{directionNumber} [direction]_[MCD12Q1_006_LW_label]_[muc_code]_IGBP[MCD12Q1_006_LC_Type1][MCD12Q1_006_LC_Type1_label]_ {surfaceConditions=True}_[locationMethod][accuracy_m]m_ widthXheight.jpg
.
Such a naming convention allows important data regarding the photo to be extracted from the name and therefore lets the photo be useful without the original data.
