That's to answer to this question that M.I.S. has developed the GeoPict/GeoMovie technology allowing the integration of sensors data such as GPS into digital compressed movies to create spatially encoded video.
Lat/lon geographical position burn-in to digital video : an innovative concept
Contrarily to other existing solutions on the market which encode date and position data in the audio track of a video tape, the geospacial video encoder is 100% digital solution.
The other hardware systems converts GPS data received from the GPS receiver into a audio signal, so each GPS point is associated with a time code on the video, allowing the video to be referenced by the indexed GPS data.
The problem is that the integration of GPS data enables video indexing and review only with dedicated proprietary desktop mapping software or via some extension tool to GIS environment, used to decode the GPS data in the audio signal and create an index that can be used to reference the video by time and space.
GeoMovie, an open technology : with GPS encoding/decoding format not proprietary
With our GeoMovie software, the compressed images are directly tagged or stamped with info from the sensors : the .mov video sequence is matched with a .data navigation text file to create a georeferenced video sequence.
* geographic location tag (plus automated additional data logging) on digital images :
-> each video frame is time & position stamped by the GPS with open XML format
So with GeoMovie concept, any third application such as GIS can use the created GeoMovie file.
