This lesson covers the key aspects of computational infrastructure needed for large-area imaging (LAI) projects. It focuses on understanding the storage, computing power, and data management requirements to efficiently process, store, and back up your imagery and SfM products. 

Learning Objective: Be able to answer these questions before beginning your SfM project: 

      • Is there adequate storage available for raw imagery? What about SfM products? 

      • What sort of computing power is currently available? 

      • Is there a data backup or archiving plan in place?
