Video GeoTagger

Video GeoTagger is a free online software used to create geolocated videos. What this means is that someone can overlay a map, GPS points, and their video to give a user the ability to see where exactly the video was taken. This is particularly useful when the data is being analyzed by someone who might not have been at the sight where the video was taken. For our use, we have a drone taking a video and we were tasked with geotagging it. Below is the first video that was completed using the  free geotagger software. The interface is simple and easy to work with. You simply load the video into the software then load the GPS points onto the map. You start the video and tag the video at the start, then watch the entire video then tag it at the end. Making sure that the points match up exactly with the time shown on the video. 

This was done once more with another video, but exact same process.

GeoTagged videos can give the viewer much more information on the flight, which is why it is used a lot for videos that put out data. It can show where exactly the video was being taken so that someone can see where it was taken. It gives perspective to the viewer so that they can analyze data accurately. While these videos are useful in a lot of circumstances, they require ground control points or referenced locations to be most useful. Anywhere that doesn't have a noticeable feature, such as a tree, man made structure, or river would be hard to use this software. The software that we used was free, so it does not have the same accuracy that a survey grade software would have.
