Location, Location, Location: Add Location Data to Images and Video with Construction Viz
It’s handy to know where photos and videos are taken in the field, especially when filling out a daily or inspection report. Check out this article to see how Construction Viz can enhance your experience with its robust geolocation features.
Geolocating Images and Video in Construction Viz
Adding images and videos to a field report is a must for documenting project progress and identifying defects. Knowing where the photos or videos were taken helps to provide additional metadata and context.
Construction Viz can automatically and manually geolocate each image or video using a simple but effective mapping UI. To start, Construction Viz automatically geolocates files using the following logic when uploading the photos or video:
- If the device location is enabled, Construction Viz uses the device's latitude and longitude as the location.
- If location data is not available for the device or files, Construction Viz uses the project's latitude and longitude for location.
- If no project, device, or file location is available, then a location in the middle of the U.S. is used as a starting point.
Moving the Location Pins
While assigning a default latitude and longitude for images and videos is a big time saver, Construction Viz also includes an interactive geolocation feature where users can move a pin to the exact location on a modal map. This custom geolocator can be especially handy if no existing latitude and longitude data is associated with the files, and you are back at the office completing your report.
Finally, to make this feature as flexible and easy to use as possible, Construction Viz provides three options to update files:
- Upon uploading an image or video from the device
- From within the uploaded grid view of all files
- Using the flyout menu
So, depending on your preference, there is an approach that will fit your work process.
