[feature request] location from kml/geojson #109

Open danito opened 8 years ago

danito commented 8 years ago

Hi, I was wondering if we could use Elodie to geotag photos based on a kml, geojson or other geo data file. My DSLR doesn't provide any geo data but I can export my Google Location History to a kml file and it would be nice to match both from the timestamp.

@danito do you match up a photo to it's KML or geojson information by timestamp alone? Can you provide some samples?

I found this document on the Open Street Map wiki but it doesn't give specifics on how to match photos with their geodata.

Other apps I've done this with uses a "sliding window" of time... if you're within X seconds/minutes of a location stamp, that is used.

@bdillahu I like the sliding window approach a lot. What I can't seem to figure out is if there's a way to do that without compromising one of the fundamental rules we've clung to. That's making it so every file is processed identically not matter how many times you process it and without any dependency on external factors or information (minus reverse geolocation lookup).

I see how a KML file isn't really much different from neighboring photos and the latter is probably much more common in practice. So we should figure out a path forward on it.
