Yes. LineVision accepts many different GPS Data companion file types and to make it easy we have a published very simple CSV spec for LineVision.

The format is as follows:

The 1st row MUST be the following:

LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, ALTITUDE, UTCTIME, SPEED, COURSE

From there, each additional row just needs to be the corresponding values.

The geoProject format is the ideal way to deliver an interactive and immersive deliverable to your client. (Click here for more on geoProjects.)

However, to offer that type of functionality, requires software as there are millions of lines of code behind the scene that make that all work together.

If you are using the Remote GeoSystems geoProject format for the deliverable, then your client will need some sort of version of LineVision Basic edition or higher to view the save geoProject deliverable.

This can be any of the following LineVision versions: LineVision Google Earth Extension, LineVision Desktop, LineVision Esri ArcMap Add-in or LineVision Online for Enterprise.

Since we do offer the monthly plans, so you could subscribe for your client and turn off their subscription for the months that its is not being used.

Alternatively you could create screen capture of the LineVision running if you just needed to send your client a movie. There are also the automated reports that be be exported in Excel and Word file formats as well as mission plans that can be exported as KML files. But again, the map interactivity with video requires the LineVision software currently.

Yes. You can save your project as a geoProject. That way end user only needs to open the geoProject, view and interact with the project deliverable as you last saved it.

To load a single geotagged video to LineVision go to File > Open Video then navigate to Windows folder where you downloaded the geotagged video AND GPS “companion” or “sidecar” files. This should load up the video and play with the clickable GPS track on the map.

No – LineVision Desktop is a stand-alone desktop application that leverages Esri technology and map data so that anyone without any GIS experience can create enterprise-ready immersive map-based geospatial video and photo geoProject reports.

Yes – Our LineVision software allows you to view video files with continuous GPS coordinates a map for dynamic an interactive playback along a flight route. The LineVision Google Earth Extension lets you do this with Google Earth and our LineVision Desktop lets you do this with Esri ArcGIS Maps.

There can be all kinds of keys in the MISB FMV so for the sake of making the software more usable for the vast majority of users, we currently only pull out GPS & related data.

However, we certainly can parse all or some specific mission/security metadata and get that into a GPX or other file type. We work with customers on a case by case basis for this type of customization and are happy to explore what would be involved if you are interested.

Yes – with some DJI models, and LineVision Desktop – Ultimate, you can use the data from the DJI Fight Record log TXT file to geotag the video so that an approximation of the “camera-target-footprint” shows on the map with this data. You can then enable the map overlay. But again remember this is really an approximation. Unlike the aircraft gimbal systems, the DJI’s do not have a laser rangefinder to get LineVision all the ideal metadata parameters to get the 4-corner information really accurate. Also at this time you cannot export a video file with the video overlaid, the client will at least need the LineVision Desktop – Basic edition to view the data overlaid on the video.

Also, all versions of LineVision also allow you and clients to video player synced with a moving map flight route and data side by side.
