A very rough script to download and add EXIF georeferencing information to historical aerial images archives.
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
You also need to install exiftool.
Modify CSV_URL, URL_PREFIX and IMAGE_EXT in run.py and then run:
python run.py
Results will be stored in results/.
Note that this is not a general purpose script.
Once downloaded with this script, historical aerial stereo-images can be processed with OpenDroneMap to create georeferenced, orthorectified images such as the one shown below:
You can download the resulting GeoTIFF from https://drive.google.com/open?id=18UhkAR5jggOtgNvBzadEz-P-bymu14_m
