[OSM-talk] GeoQR - Geocoding Video with QRCodes

2009-04-29 Thread Ben Ward
Hi all, this might be a bit off-topic for OSM Talk, but I thought I'd share this for anyone who fancies doing video surveys with stuff they may already own. This video demonstrates the end-product:- a video with each frame geocoded using QR Codes (those 2D barcode things) and thus individually
