Simple (?!), but amazing.<br>
<br>
After some Googling, I catagorized the various methods of
integrating photos with spatial data into:<br>
<br>
System 1: Photos linked to points on map<br>
System 2: Streetview-style navigation and display (Google "diy
streetview" for examples)<br>
System 3: 3D environment with DEM, building shells and textures
(like VTP, OssimPlanet, etc)<br>
System 4: System 3 with more objects, real-time data feeds,etc <br>
<br>
As you move to the next system, I expect it would take an order of
magnitude more work than the previous one (so for now I'll just do
an example of the display portion of System 1).<br>
<br>
Interesting stuff; thanks to all for the information!<br>

<div> Sounds very cool! I take it the project was
successful wrt user-interaction/GUI ?<br>
<br>
I was also thinking of a UI like StreetView (move
forward/back, zoom etc), but that would require the
imagery to be highly geo-coded, and a ton of
software...<br>

that sort of thing developed here at the City

all the corresponding camera data with the

the camera was facing. Jim K. did much of the
work for this. But the availability of the

2million+ photos @ 7megapixel (I think) with a
camera array for 360 deg views of each

I had a question the other day
from a person in the Emergency<br>
Response Planning business. He has a
client (with little or no money to<br>
spend) interested in looking at a
aerial scenes of their five facilities<br>
from their head office to aid in any
decisions. I let them know the<br>
difference between aerial "snapshots"
and photogrammetry, etc. But I<br>
can't really help them; it's mainly a
data acquisition task and a photo<br>
album.<br>
<br>
However while we were talking, it
occurred to me that a simple<br>
web-based mapping system with the
ability to upload geo-tagged photos<br>
from the field, display icons on map
and show the photo when clicked<br>
(like Google Earth's Photo layer)
could be a nice GeoMoose extension,<br>
useful for various things. I think
most of the parts are in GeoMoose:<br>
Identify, Popups (although I may want
the Identify info sent to a<br>
different browser window)...<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
