Purpose: The Field Book app integrates with the camera on your Android device, affording the capacity to capture and organize images for each experimental unit in your trial. Here we review the protocol for setting up the “Photo” trait in the Field Book app, capturing images, and exporting and accessing the images in BreedBase. |

Requirement |
Example: For example, you may create a trait called “Plot Photo” that will be an image of each plot used for qualitative review at a later point. |
Requirement: To comply with BrAPI standards of importing the trait into Field Book, the scale class of this trait in the ontology in BreedBase should initially be “text”. |
Trait Import Complete instructions for How to Import Traits are available at Using Field Book with BreedBase Instances / Step 3. Importing Field Trials and Traits from BreedBase to Field Book. |
Trait Export The complete instruction set for How to Export Traits is available at Using Field Book with BreedBase Instances / Step 5. Exporting Data from Field Book to BreedBase. |
Photo Files during export to BreedBase Each photo file will be labeled with the 5-digit plot id number, photo number for that instance of export, and the date and time stamp. Field Book and BreedBase allows users to take and export multiple photos across different time points. Additional instances of exporting the photo trait for the same plot will result in new photos being added to the folder of existing photos in BreedBase for that trial unit. |
Photo Files during local export Just as with BrAPI export to BreedBase, multiple photos can be captured and exported for each plot at one time using local export. Photos are labeled by the 5-digit unique plot ID number, the photo number for that plot, and a date and time stamp. |
In the app you selected
On the Android device under “Files” > “Images” > “photos”.
Requirements for local export via available apps To export the data using available apps on the Android device (Google Drive, BOX, OneDrive, email service, or other), an internet connection or cell service must be available. The app must also be downloaded on the Android device. |
