I have a proposal I9m working on for an neighborhood study where the want
elevation studies throughout the neighborhood.
I know, the first thing that popped into my head was the hexacam that Bill
has Bill Meikle has been working on so hard.
But I9m not sure I9m ready to tackle that for a project that they need in
next few weeks and I9m not sure if it will work for this project (but
maybe).
My first thought was to take photos along the street and stitch them
together.
Then I found out we aren9t talking a few blocks here but rather both sides
of streets in a grid that adds up to four miles (8 miles when you look at
both sides).
So although I9d still like to do the photo approach if the budget can handle
it I9ve also thrown out the idea of using my full frame fisheye on my mini
DV camera aimed to the side. I9ve done this before through my sunroof and
works very well. If the distortion is to bad I could cut down the frame rate
and batch convert frames to correct the distortion.
Here is an old forward looking test. Speed up here just for the effect of
speed

They also want large prints of the elevations. If they really want this the
photo approach may be the best, although I could also grab images from video
to do this but not as well.
The other aspect of the project is tying it all to an interactive maps. Does
anyone know of a way with LSP or other software that I can have a line down
drawn down a road with a little bead on it that acts as a slider for moving
the play head of a video.
I suppose I could have them click on a segment to activate it and then use
the slider on the bottom of the movie and have a visual indicator of that
movement on the key map, but it would be really great if they could actually
navigate from the map.
If anyone has input, ideas or comments I9d love to hear them.
