Souvenez-vous où vous avez pris vos photos

ATP annonce le lancement de son ATP GPS Photo Finder, un accessoire qui permet de "géo-marquer" les photos prises avec son appareil, explique la société. Pour ce faire, il faut au préalable synchroniser les horloges du Photo Finder et de l'appareil photo. On prend ensuite ses photos. Puis, on insère la carte mémoire dans le Photo Finder et il indique dans les metadata de chaque photo, les coordonnées gps du lieu où la photo a été prise.

La technique est similaire à ce que Gilles Caulier de digiKam nous avait décrit sur Déclencheur.

ATP Announces a Portable Photo Organization Device -- Visual and Geographical Photo Organization Made Possible by the ATP GPS Photo Finder
Sunnyvale, CA (Oct. 11th, 2007) – ATP, a leading manufacturer of DRAM and flash memory solutions, today introduced the new ATP GPS Photo Finder – a portable photo accessory that allows for the convenient ‘geotagging’ of digital photos taken by any camera. Geotagging is a new cutting edge feature of digital images which allows you to associate images with the locations where they were originally taken.

The ATP Photo Finder, unlike other new solutions on the market, is universally compatible with any camera using jpeg image files, allowing you to use this single device to geotag pictures from multiple camera brands and models. In addition, the Photo Finder can be used on the go without the need for a computer. Simply plug in your camera’s memory card into the Photo Finder’s built in card reader or USB port, and it automatically finds and tags your images without any additional software or hardware.

“The ATP GPS Photo Finder allows users to tag their photos with GPS coordinates and automatically find the locations at which the pictures were taken,” said Michael Plaksin, ATP Vice President of Sales. “Imagine tracking your trip across Europe or your cruise around the Caribbean, and to be able to visually and geographically organize your photos afterwards. With new applications such as photo enabled GPS navigation around the corner, I believe this technology will see significant growth in the next few years.”

Pictures can currently be viewed using software such as Picasa2 and Google Earth which support geotagging.
