Description Philippe ROUBACH 2008-11-18 14:56:51 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

what is a good gui for geotagging ?

what is my problem ?

i have old stills of a bike trekking along the "canal des deux mers" (from Bordeaux to Sète, composed of canal de Garonne and canal du midi)

i want to geolocalize my about 300 stills
i want to geolocalize one stills about a particular lock and one still which follows immediately in time and which is a little canal bridge (a bridge for the canal running over a road or a river)

what are my data ?

my memory of this 2003 trekking
the  name of the lock in the picture, writed on the lock house :"Ecluse de l'Avance"

then

1. i launch my exlorer -> tab 1

i google search "canal de garonne"

great, there is a wikipedia item "liste des écluses du canal de Garonne"

2. i open the wikipedia article -> second tab 2

great , i know the order of the locks along the canal and the distance betwween two locks

3. i google search a tourist document

i found a map with the geolocation of the locks and its number(each locks ahs a number) -> tab 3

4. i open "geotag" software

i ask for it to show on map my 2 stills with map and satellite views -> tab 4

i locate the lock with tab 3 and tab 4

now i must locate the canal bridge still

i know (tab 2) there is a distance of about 600 m (pk 165.927, pk 165.300) between the lock and the canal bridge
i know the canal bridge runs over a little river

i see there is two rivers not too far the lock in geotag map (tab 4)

5. i open maps.google.fr -> tab 5

i go to "my maps"
i activate the "distance measurement tool"

i found this is the second little river which is at 600 m

i located the canal bridge still

6. during my work i do more than geotagging : i designed a good tool and gui for geotagging

one window
several tabs, each one for a compnent-tool

perhaps it would be better to have in one window tool :

google maps "distance measurement tool"
map view
satellite view
pointer and thumbnail of the stills
ability to record in the stills the coordinates alt,long,lat
ability to find and record location name,city, region,country name

see the captured images fo my gui tab1, tab2, tab3, tab4, tab4bis, tab5

Comment 7 Philippe ROUBACH 2008-11-18 15:03:57 UTC

addendum

please stop using konqueror
konqueror for many years has javascript compliance
problems

give the choice to the user to use FF or use webkit

Comment 8 caulier.gilles 2008-11-18 15:18:42 UTC

Philippe, 

This is a flameware :

please stop using konqueror. konqueror for many years has javascript compliance problems give the choice to the user to use FF or use webkit 

=> KHTML is used, not Konqueror has well
=> using FireFox : impossible and it's not too powerfull than KHTML from C++ interface viewpoint.
==> Webkit is a simplified KHTML implementation packaged by Qt4...

Perhaps later KHTML will use WebKit has well, like developement is supported by Qt4. So for the moment, we wait and see.

For the rest of your proposal, your workflow sound like very complex, and long, to just geotag your images. Synchronize a gps tracklist with images sound definitively more simple...

Comment 9 Philippe ROUBACH 2008-11-18 16:00:24 UTC

1. its not a flameware

i like konqueror but several times a day i must use FF

i would say

FF is realistic it faces the compliance pb

konqueror is idealistic it wants to change the reality

but i can't wait for the reality is changed

this is today i need an explorer which works

2. i said "give the choice"

3. you read my post too fast

i know geottager or geologger
i have one
i use it

but i have OLD stills

yes it is complex to geotag old stills
but
it is not my workflow which is complex

Comment 10 caulier.gilles 2011-12-22 15:28:43 UTC

Philippe,

This file still valid using kipi-plugins 2.4 where GUI have been rewritten indeep by Michael ?

Comment 11 Michael G. Hansen 2011-12-27 15:41:31 UTC

Many things of this have been implemented in 2.x: You can now display the image you are currently tagging and modify its location data, you can have two map views side-by-side (for example, one Google satellite, one OSM). For distance measurement, you can right now use only the one from Marble.

What I think we could still later add from Philippe's list is a distance measurement tool for the Google Maps part. About adding tags, this could maybe added to the reverse geotagging system.
