Clojure code for handling metadata embedded in drone video with KLV

droneklv

Droneklv is a Clojure library for accessing KLV metadata embedded in drone video.

This code attempts to support two of the standards for drone-related metadata, both of which come from the Motion Imagery Standards Board:

• "UAS Datalink Local Set", MISB ST 0601.8.
• "Predator UAV Basic Universal Metadata Set", MISB EG 0104.4.

EG 0104.4 is an earlier standard (actually, "engineering guideline") that requires higher bandwidth. ST 0601.8 is a more recent standard with more efficient encoding that is otherwise mostly equivalent.

Usage

First find a video from a drone with embedded KLV metadata. The image above is from http://samples.ffmpeg.org/MPEG2/mpegts-klv/Day%20Flight.mpg

Download the video, and use ffmpeg to extract the KLV metadata stream. Then run com.lemondronor.droneklv on the extracted KLV.

$ curl -O http://samples.ffmpeg.org/MPEG2/mpegts-klv/Day%20Flight.mpg
$ ffmpeg -i Day\ Flight.mpg -map data-re -codec copy -f data out.klv
$ lein run -m com.lemondronor.droneklv out.klv
