Overview

Nodeology Geotagged Media Tools

Nodeology Geotagged Media Tools is a toolbox for ArcGIS that turns geotagged videos and photos into actionable GIS data. It includes tools to extract, align, and visualize location data from media, making it easier to integrate field-collected imagery into mapping, analysis, and asset management workflows.

Geotagged Videos to Polylines

Creates polyline features from geotagged videos using embedded GPS data.
Key Features:

• Supports a wide range of video formats.

• Converts video travel paths into precise polyline features.

• Fully compatible with Nodeology’s Vidgeo widget.

Geotagged Video to Photos

Converts geotagged videos into georeferenced photos at user-defined intervals.
Key Features:

• Extracts photos at time or distance intervals.

• Optionally filter extractions near specified locations.

• Populates image direction tags from video trajectory.

• Preserves the original format (standard or 360°).

• Integrates with Geotagged Photos to Points workflows.

Calculate Trajectories Between Points

Populates a numeric field with calculated directions between points.
Key Features:

• Calculates trajectory/direction for point features.

• Supports custom “Order By” fields.

• Optional tolerance warnings table for quality review.

Add YouTube ID Field

Adds a YouTube ID field to a feature class for linking features to hosted videos.

Extract GPX By GPS Temporal Extents

Generates a GPX file from overlapping time windows of two GPS tracks.
Key Features:

• Isolates overlapping GPS segments.

• Ideal for correlating multiple datasets.

Extract GPX by Start and End Time

Creates a GPX file for a specified time window.
Key Features:

• Targets exact timestamps in GPS tracks.

• Useful for isolating events or time ranges.

Extract GPX by Start Time and Duration

Generates a GPX file based on a start time and duration.
Key Features:

• Automatically calculates end time.

• Ideal for slicing tracks into consistent segments.

Extract GPX by Video Time

Synchronizes GPS data with a video’s time window.
Key Features:

• Aligns GPS data with recorded footage.

• Correlates independent GPS and video sources.

Geotagged Videos to Polylines – Equal Interval

Creates polylines from videos captured at equal GPS intervals.
Key Features:

• Builds accurate polylines from evenly spaced frames.

• Optimized for reconstructed or non-real-time GPS data.

• Compatible with Nodeology’s Vidgeo widget.

GPS Source to GPX

Exports GPS data from supported sources to GPX format.
Key Features:

• Simplifies GPS export for downstream processing.

Remove Audio from Video

Removes audio tracks from videos while preserving metadata.
Key Features:

• Strips audio for privacy, noise reduction, or file size.

• Retains all existing metadata.

Rotate 360 Video

Corrects yaw, pitch, and roll in 360° videos.
Key Features:

• Adjusts orientation for accurate visualization.

• Supports degrees or radians.

• Preserves metadata.

Rotate 360 Photos

Corrects panoramic 360° photo orientation.
Key Features:

• Applies yaw, pitch, and roll adjustments.

• Updates heading/direction tags.

• Preserves metadata.

Timestamped Polylines to GPX

Exports polylines as GPX 1.1 tracks with per-vertex timestamps.
Key Features:

• Creates time-aware GPX files.

• Includes elevation where available.

• Skips invalid points to ensure data accuracy.

Transcribe Audio to Points

Converts speech in videos into geotagged, time-stamped point features.
Key Features:

• Supports activation phrases (wake words) for intentional capture.

• Filters out non-speech and irrelevant content.

• Aligns text to GPS tracks for playback and analysis.
