Photo Intake Processing
Goal
Make site photo capture useful for analysis and AI: preserve originals, select useful shots, describe angles, and identify missing views.
Process
- Treat
01_site_survey/01_photos_raw as immutable source archive.
- Store selected copies in
01_site_survey/02_photos_selected.
- Fill or update
01_site_survey/PHOTO_INDEX.md.
- For each important photo, record shooting point, direction, visible content, and use.
- Check required groups: house, entry, boundaries, neighbors, trees, utilities, problem zones.
- For AI-ready materials, prepare a short list of frames: house, key structures, general site view, problem zones.
Rules
- Do not delete or overwrite raw files.
- Do not put all photos into client presentation.
- If photos need compression, keep a copy and preserve the source link.
- If the angle is unclear, mark it as
needs_orientation instead of guessing confidently.
Output
- Updated
PHOTO_INDEX.md.
- Selected photo list.
- Missing angles or repeated measurement list.
