Howdy,
Cool little API youve got going here 
I like Motorbike riding and have been round Australia several times on as many dirt roads as I can find.
I also have a fascination with drones and have been making 3d point clouds for a few years know with high res ortho mosaic so I would be keen to try the ortho's in this process for classification as well
err I am a GIS (Mapping) guy by trade but I am currently working in Verterbrate Pest Management we have millions (literally) of photos a year that are remote triggered and staff have to go through each photo to see if it was a Wild Dog or a Branch that triggered it. I am a poor developer
but think I will be able to manage a proof of concept using python so work can throw some more resources at this project.
Have an awesome day
