Stitching Historical Aerial Images From 1940 Using OpenDroneMap Geotagging

ODM
#1

Hello,

When attempting to run exiftool to geotag the historical images, the metadata appears to be “hidden”. If the images are looked up using exiftool, the geo data appears. But not if I look at the properties of the images (in Windows). When running ODM on these images, I get this error for each of them: ‘Failed parsing GPS position for (image), skipping’. Not sure if this is related to the geo data not being seen in properties.

This is the exiftool command I ran : exiftool -v2 -GPSLatitude -GPSLongitude -GPSAltitude -GPSLatitudeRef -GPSLongitudeRef -GPSAltitudeRef -csv=“1969_Centerpoints_4326_1.csv” -o out\ .

Continuing the discussion from Stitching Historical Aerial Images From 1940 Using OpenDroneMap Geotagging:

The issue appears to have been caused by attempting to run in a linux environment. The images must be retagged in linux (if originally tagged in Windows). After making changes to the images in Linux, the images.json and image_list.txt files should be deleted otherwise ODM will rerun using the old data.
