GeoDesign Internacional is pleased to announce the release of the software GeoPhotosMapper 1.0, that has been developed to optimize the processing and integration of photographic image with GPS data acquired by devices that integrate digital camera with GPS in one equipment.
Originally developed to process image with GPS and attribute data acquired by the digital camera with GPS Ricoh Caplio 500SE, GeoPhotosMapper can process image data acquired with any other equipment capable of storing images in the JPEG format with tags in the Exif 2.2 standard. The software has been validated processing images from a variety of devices that integrate digital camera with GPS.
GeoPhotosMapper has a friendly and simple graphical user interface that allows one to visualize and edit images, visualize Exif tags, visualize the positioning of images in Google Maps, and export data to different formats.
GeoPhotosMapper 1.0 is currently available in Portuguese. It is being ported to English and Spanish. The multi-language version of the software is scheduled to be released at the end of Q3-2010.
The software processes the input images and tracklogs, extracts the GPS positioning, azimuth and attribute data, and generates output files in several geospatial, CAD, database and other formats. The exported geospatial data layers have three types of geospatial features representing the spatial distribution of different data depending on the selected export format:
• Points: Positioning of each photo’s image data
• Lines: TrackLog data
• Polygons: Field-of-View (FOV) of each photo’s image
GeoPhotosMapper 1.0 also supports coordinate transformation from WGS84/Lat-Lon, which is the default Spatial Reference System (SRS) used in digital cameras, to 470 single SRS according to the EPSG database. GeoPhotosMapper 1.0 supports 80 geographic and 390 projected single SRS. It is under development support to the 3.569 SRS found in the EPSG database (483 geographic and 3.086 projected).
Other data processing done by the GeoPhotosMapper software includes magnetic declination, geodetic distance and field-of-view.
GeoPhotosMapper exports data to relational database management systems (RDBMS), such as Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL e PostgreSQL/PostGIS. It is under development support to DB2 and Oracle DBMS. The data exported to these DBMS include point, line and polygon geometry data in the OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) standard, attributes, thumbnail image and the original image for each spatial or non-spatial information layer.
Support to DBMS enables integration of the geospatial data layers generated by the GeoPhotosMapper software in many geospatial platforms that support the OGC standard, that is format independent. It also allows for the integration of geo-tagged
photo images with other corporative data.
