GEO IMAGING

GPS-Ready Camera Captures Location Data with Your Images

The Ricoh G700SE Dynamic Capture Imaging Solution delivers a streamlined process for integrating quality images into mapping software applications, offering the ideal solution for GIS professionals.


About the Geo-Imaging Camera Solution

  • Embeds GPS data coordinates with captured images automatically
  • Transfers pictures and data to mapping software seamlessly
  • Provides a rugged, field-ready geo-imaging solution
  • Delivers superior resolution and ease of use

Using the Geo-Imaging Camera Solution

  • Geo-codes images as they are captured and automatically stores GPS coordinates in the image file header
  • Associates additional meta-data with captured images through a user-configurable menu system on the camera
  • Allows image imprinting with GPS coordinates and any associated data
  • Sends geo-coded images to a PC running ArcMap® where a plug-in tool extracts GPS data from images and generates standard ESRI "shape" layer files
  • Links images and associated meta-data to mapped points based on their GPS location

Benefits

  • Streamlines workflow, saves time and increases accuracy of information
  • Offers more convenience with wireless connectivity
  • Provides immediate access to captured images and associated data

Implementing this Solution
