saltbush: Spectral Diversity from Drone Images

Processes drone data to calculate spectral diversity metrics. To facilitate testing of the spectral-biodiversity relationship, it also calculates on-the-ground diversity from on-the-ground, point-intercept surveys specifically from the AusPlots framework.
