Geotagging moving video

Abstract

In the current age, digital video technologies are prevalent everywhere. Advances in the technology has made it increasingly easy to record and upload videos through smartphones at any given time and location. Footage from CCTVs and similar surveillance systems are traditionally used to aid in investigating crimes and incidents. However, this sometimes poses multiple challenges due to insufficient coverage from said surveillance systems. Technology advances can be leveraged to deal with such challenges. This report presents the development of an Android application called GeoRecord, and a web application called GeoVid. GeoRecord can record videos with their essential geotagging information captured and upload them to GeoVid. GeoVid will then serve as a platform that visualizes the geotagging information of those videos.
