video2geoframes.py
🇬🇧 version
Python program to generate a collection of geotagged images from a video and a GPS track.
Designed for ease contribution to street-level imagery projects like Mapillary or Panoramax.
Quick start
Nothing simpler : collect your video, your GPS track, execute Python script and follow the guide !
In detail, the program is built around a TUI or Textual User Interface, allowing to launch video process easily with step-by-step parameter input.
Input is guided by textual help indicating expected values.
Before script starting, you need to have :
- a video file (export limited to 100000 frames)
- known the exact timestamp (start) in local time or UTC
- a clean GPS tack file covering video duration
- a working directory.
Documentation
Coming soon.
Features
Program allows in one process to execute following tasks :
- video sampling according to a time interval
- incremental timestamp of frame sequence
- frames export to JPEG format
- exported frames geotagging from GPS track.
It also includes :
- timelapse video support
- frame resizing to a less resolution than original video with ratio keeping
- metadata adding in EXIF tags
artist,make,modeletcopyright(see documentation ExifTool) - millisecond accuracy timestamp
- local time support with UTC offset
- temporal offset adding for correlate video and GPS.

Setup
To set up program, be enough to clone Git repository, set up software dependencies and build Python environnement. Recommended to use a virtual environnement (venv).
Python
Entire project is developed and tested on Python 3.11 (Windows x86-64).
Dependencies
Core script uses following Python libraries (see also requirements.txt) :
numpyopencv-pythonpiexiftomlkittqdm.
It also uses ExifTool for frame geotagging. Call by a system command, this dependency is intended to be removed in future versions.
Compatibility
Code is designed to be platform-independent.
At time, code as been "tested" on Windows and Linux platforms (partially under Debian / Ubuntu).
Contribution
Coming soon.
