Media Browser Menu

Right-clicking on an item in the Media Browser will open one of several different menus depending on the media type.  Additionally, the menu items presented on the following menus may further vary by the metadata associated with media type.  For example a video that already has metadata for calculating “Camera Target Footprint” will not show the Estimate Camera Target Footprint (CTF) on Map menu item.

Below are the menus that are presented when right-clicking a video, a photo and an annotation, respectively.

Estimate Camera Target Footprint (CTF) on Map #

Hide Camera Target Location #

When this option is checked, the software will hide the camera’s frame center location which is represented by a dynamic line from the platform to the target location on the map.

Show Camera Target Location Track #

When this option is checked, referring to the image below, the camera’s frame center location will be represented by a GPS track on the map in addition to the camera platform GPS track.

Hide Camera Footprint #

When this option is checked, the software will hide from the map the camera’s field-of-view which is represented by a dynamic “4-corner” shape on the map.

Dynamically Calculate Camera Footprint #

When this option is checked, the software will use several raw camera metadata values to calculate and present the four corners of the camera target footprint box on the map.  This is alternative method to using the specific latitude/longitude values provided by some gimbals for the four corners of the camera target footprint print box on the map.  NOTE:  This is only relevant to video and metadata collected from certain models of airborne gyro-stabilized gimbal cameras.
