Human-aided geo-rectification of geospatial metadata in video using a graphical interface

Abstract:

Embodiments disclosed herein provide a graphical user interface in which a user can quickly correct geospatial metadata accompanying a live video feed. More specifically, the graphical user interface can allow a user to quickly correlate one or more locations in the underlying video to one or more locations within the map data, thereby "anchoring" locations in the map data with locations in the video feed. These locations can then be used to correct the displayed alignment between the map information and video feed, as well as correct the geospatial metadata itself. Furthermore, tracking algorithms can be used to track the correlated locations, foregoing the need to provide manual correction for every frame of video.
