GPS Image Tagging
We now offer a G.P.S. (Global Positioning System) image tagging service* which enables the camera to record its exact position on the earth's surface together with its altitude, date and time.The camera is attached to a G.P.S. receiver and moving map displayed on a laptop which sends a signal to the camera's processor each time an image is taken. The G.P.S. information is saved in the images 'file info' header file and can be 'read' using a range of viewing packages including Photoshop and EXIF viewer. The aircraft track is recorded onto the mapping package containing the flight lines for post flight analysis.


This information 'proves' when and where an image was taken and has many uses in such diverse fields as legal disputes, criminal evidence (waste tipping, oil spill etc) and litigation prevention.

This service was provided to Chevron-Texaco, who contracted us to photograph the Southern Kazakhstan Pipeline and surrounding features so that they had an indisputable series of dated images on record.

If required for court production, unaltered imagery together with the header file is burnt directly onto two CD's, one remains open (working copy) and the other sealed (court production copy) and is provided with a written statement.

G.P.S. co-ordinates data can also be used to relate imagery directly to a map where image coverage can be plotted, ensuring complete coverage of the survey area.
