Re: [OSM-talk] someone mapping with video?

2008-03-28 Thread mariner
thanks for your reply. two more questions...

1.
are you happy with the atc2000? I was thinking about buying one. But the
price is a bit high for VGA resolution.
a  sample clip while doing OSM usage would be nice... do you have
possibilities to put one online?

are SD cards bigger than 2GB supported? on the page I saw somewhere the
limit of 2GB.

2.
how do you adjust the movie to the coordinates of the gps? do you watch
the movie, while your painting into the OSM database?

cheers,
mariner

I normally use a notebook and GPS, but I do sometimes use a video camera too

I've got an ATC2000, which is about £90, waterproof, droppable, and either
mounts on either bike handlebars or you can attach it to the passenger
headrest in a car:

http://www.oregonscientific.co.uk/prod_allterraincamera.htm

That does about 1.5 hours of 600x480 resolution at 30fps onto a 2GB SD card,
or longer at lower resolutions / bigger SD card.

The resolution is just about good enough to read large roadsigns if you go
past them reasonably slowly.   It's good for noticing rows of
shops/houses/forests etc. at the side of the road while you're driving.
While cycling, you can use it to record roadsigns if you just point the
camera at them from a few metres away and pause for a second or so.

I can send you some sample clips, but they're about 600MB each so shout if
you want them.

I'm not aware of any special software for converting video + GPX into a 3d
textured map of the route, so I'll be watching this discussion to see if
anyone suggests some...

p.s. sound quality is awful, so don't use this one if you want
voice-recordings...
