Integration of Spatial Data with Structured Video

This paper investigates the ability of video to integrate with urban spatial data. Video can represent the urban environment continuously with real images which is desirable in many applications. By providing camera pose in each video frame by means of GPS/INS or image processing (structured video), one can measure 3D coordinate and space distances of features inside the video. Having 3D coordinate, symbolization is possible and user can save or retrieval attribute data. A measureable video with ability to save and retrieval spatial data is called 3D Video GIS. In this paper, the methodology and difficulties of a real 3D Video GIS is presented.
