Overview of imports

In this view, you can see an overview of your imported data, the used storage and import status. You can filter by single or batch import, imports by the current user or all users, and by import status.

Batch Imports

Prerequisites

To execute a batch import the following prerequisites need to be met:

  • You need to be using Ubuntu 22.04 or Ubuntu 24.04 to execute the necessary manifest creation script.
  • The imports must come from an Amazon Web Services S3 blob storage.

First, click on the BATCH IMPORT button to get started with the batch import.

Unzip batch_import_manifest_generation_script.zip and follow the instructions on README.md to generate the manifest.

Warning

The JSON manifest will contain presigned URLs. It is best to keep this manifest private.

After you have generated the manifest, drag the JSON file onto the field provided. Once your JSON manifest is uploaded, click NEXT STEP to proceed. The import will not work without the manifest being uploaded to HUNTR.

Select a target folder for the imports and click NEXT STEP. It may be beneficial to create a folder in the Object Detection Scene view for this import before starting the process.

Note

The import is a flat import of all imagery found in the target S3 blob storage. Any folder structure present in the existing data will be ignored. All imagery will be in the folder you select in HUNTER for the import.

Next, give the import a name and click NEXT STEP.

Finally, click START UPLOAD to begin the batch import.

Warning

Cancelling an upload is not currently supported. Make certain that you want import all data and imagery referred to by the JSON manifest!

Any changes to the data stored in the S3 blob storage will require a new manifest to be generated. The presigned URLs used in the manifest expire after some time for security reasons. You will need to create a new manifest when they expire.
