[Qgis-user] Picture data in Map?

[Tony Shepherd (FarmMaps NZ)]

Hi

 

There is a plugin called “Import Photos”.

 

It’ very handy for extracting metadata (exif data) from a folder full of images and creating points etc.  I use it to map photo locations then use a calculated field to show an arrow indicating the direction the photo was taken (if collected in the exif).  From memory it also allows you to click a photo and open a built in viewer to view the image.  

 

Also really useful for mapping and quickly viewing drone imagery.

 

 

Cheers

Tony

Subject: [Qgis-user] Picture data in Map?

 

Hi guys,

 

Is there an easy way to get image data into/linked into a map in qGIS (i.e. a plugin or something)? I have CyberTracker data with pictures taken of footprints etc. as recorded in the veld, but when I export it to a .shp file, the associated picture is no longer in the .dbf (neither is there a link to it). What I really want is to have a map where when I click on a specific point, the associated picture would pop up and show on-screen (together with the text data, like species and behaviour associated with that point).

 

Would I need to use BLOB's (or BYTEA) in PostGIS for this functionality? Has nobody done something similar before?

 

Any advice appreciated!

 

Cheers,

Chavoux
