<p dir="ltr">Long time listener, first time caller...</p>
<p dir="ltr">I have been thinking about a python class that leverage OpenDroneMap since the first time I looked at the perl driver. I don't know perl, but could discern the general pattern.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'd like to start a pseudocode class definition diagram for what it might look like. I see it as an object of -model- which would be initialized from an initial set of images. The sequential steps of the perl script would become methods, with the ability to keep track of which results are associated with (result from) which parameter configs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If I wanted to take a stab at this - could I open a wiki page on GitHub? I don't want to appear dis-respectful as a newcomer, but perl is a barrier for me and I see many benefits to transitioning the driver to python 2.7.</p>

</span>We have been talking about converting the current Perl master script to<br>
something in Python (possibly flask based). At that point there would be<br>
good places to hook in an MPI library for python.<br>
<br>
The tricky part is going to be an efficient means of distributing the<br>
data. If you have a compute cluster this shouldn't be an issue (assuming<br>
you have some sort of shared storage). If you use Amazon it might mean<br>
you have all your nodes reads from the same S3, etc.<br>
