Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] geotagging analog photos
Thanks Bob, for the link to GeoSetter. However, as Markus says, GeoSetter is not open source, and for now, I am looking for not just open source but also non-Windows programs (only because I have not used nor have had access to a Windows machine now for almost two decades). > On Sep 21, 2016, at 8:05 PM, Markus Neteler wrote: > > > On Sep 21, 2016 7:49 PM, "Bruce, Bob (SD)" wrote: > > > > You might try the geosetter program which has a map link and will set the > > coordinates as you select points on the map.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] geotagging analog photos
You might try the geosetter program which has a map link and will set the coordinates as you select points on the map. You can find it at: www.geosetter.de/en/ Bob Bruce -Original Message- From: Discuss [mailto:discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of P Kishor Sent: September-20-16 12:54 AM To: OSGeo Discussions Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] geotagging analog photos Background: a colleague has a pretty incredible collection of analog photos (prints and slides) from various expeditions in Nepal. These are invaluable photos because they offer a time-series view (repeated expeditions to the same locations over many years) at a very high resolution. Problem: there is no geolocation for these photos—where the photographer was standing and which way he was looking when he took these photos. Objective: Scan the photos and geolocate them, then pin them on a map of the region. For geocoding them: - “fly” around on Google Earth/Maps trying to recognize the terrain from the photo; - use programs such as [Hey What’s That](http://www.heywhatsthat.com); - construct a crowdsourcing application and get everyone and anyone involved.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] geotagging analog photos
Puneet, NYPL's Scribe app could help with crowdsourcing your project. Not geo-specific, but it would support the queue/task/review process. https://www.nypl.org/blog/2015/11/23/scribe-framework-community-transcription http://scribeproject.github.io/ David.
