Exporting Panoramic photo's with the GPS co-ords embedded

Post by Archiscan SA »

Morning all
I'm exporting panoramic phtoto's from all scan positions, but for the life of me i cannot work out how to get the GPS co-ords of the scan to feed across into the metadata of the exported JPEG.
Does anyone have a work around on this?
Regards
Ant

if i recall correctly the gps coordinates are stored somewhere in the fls directory in a txt file so worst case scenario would be that you write a script which adds the gps coordinates to the images. but it will not honor the registration. of course if we are only talking images it is not a big issue.

The usual way I'd get JPEG files with GPS coordinates into a GIS system would be to create a world file, so you have a short JFW text file to go with your JPEG. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_file Not sure whether Faro outputs this or how it would work with panoramic images.
