Overview of Geo-tagging Features and Guidelines for Standard and Accelerated CEAC
OUTLINE • Basics of Geo-tagging • Main Features • Framework • What are the benefits • Framework in Accelerated CEAC • Constraints and Strategies
I. Basics of geo-tagging • What is geo-tagging? • Is geo-tagging similar with GPS? • What is the difference between GPS and A-GPS in smart phones and tablets? • What are the common sources of errors?
What is Geo-tagging? GPS-enabled devices such as smart phone, PC tablet and camera that are capable to receive satellite signals to determine actual location. Geo-tagging is also GPS capturing!
Satellites GPS (Global Positioning System) GPS Receiver • Used in land surveying, aviation, military, etc. to determine exact location • About 30 active satellites orbit the earth and transmit signals to a GPS receiver Control Facilities User
Satellites GPS (Global Positioning System) GPS Receiver • GPS receivers are built into mobile devices with different degrees of signal sensitivity. • These devices also use radio signals from satellites to get location information. PC Tablet with inbuilt GPS receiver = Geo-tagging Device Control Facilities User
Satellites A-GPS (Assisted GPS) PC Tablet with inbuilt GPS receiver = Geo-tagging Device • Geo-tagging devices can use additional network resources in time of inadequate signal condition. Network Facilities i.e. Cell sites, A-GPS Servers User • A-GPS • Wifi • Data connection
Sources of Errors • Adequate number of fix satellites • Usual handheld receivers = minimum no. of 4 fixed satellites • Geo-tagging devices = more than 10 fixed satellites
Sources of Errors 2. Positioning of satellites • Should be very well dispersed over the space • Error may be up to 100 meters if satellites are not dispersed! • Error of 5-6 m is acceptable
Satellites Unreflected Signals Sources of Errors User Reflected Signals Blocked Off Signals 3. Reflected and blocked off signals • If GPS receiver is used inside a vehicle or building, near high structure or under a canopy, signals will be blocked off.
Sources of Errors 4. Clock inaccuracies • Time discrepancy between the GPS receiver’s clock and satellite clock can distort information such as location, speed, time and distance.
II. Main Features • GPS Status • Camera ICS • DMD Panorama • My Tracks
Geo-tagging Applications • Application installed inyour smart phone/PC tablet: GPS Status and Tools by MobiWIA My Tracks by Google Camera ICS+ DMD Pano
Geo-tagging Applications • Mainly used to monitor the strength of connection of GPS receiver to the satellites GPS Status and Tools by MobiWIA • Captures images and current location where the photo is taken Camera ICS+
Geo-tagging Applications • Records route or path, elevation, and speed My Tracks by Google • Used in capturing 180° or 360° images DMD Pano
III. Framework • General geo-tagging workflow • Sub-project Categories • Protocols for Geo-tagging • Tasking and coordination • Frequency
General Geo-tagging Workflow Image and GPS captured by PC Tablet Foot Survey/Data Collection Copy, organize & upload data Using desktop/laptop INTERNET (CLOUD) Share data to public
Categories of Sub-projects • Point Structures - day care center, multi-use building, public market, school building, etc. • Linear Features - farm-to-market road, drainage, flood control, road concreting, etc. • Non-Permanent Items - boat construction, community transport, etc. • Feasibility Studies • NCDDP Activities - barangay assembly, capacity building, etc.
Polygons Points Barangay Ambolong, Batan, Aklan Lines Representations of community subprojects and other geo-tagged data on a map • Points- address locations, GPS coordinates, locations of small features such as buildings, houses, electric poles, mountain peaks, etc. • 2. Lines- street, streams, contours • and boundaries. Lines are usually used to depict features that have length but no area. • 3. Polygons- features that are • enclosed such as regions, provinces, municipalities, barangays, parcels, and land use zones. Basically, polygons are any features on the earth that has area.
Protocol before the actual collection of geo-tagged data • Before going to the assigned municipality, remember to activate all applications needed in collecting geo-tagged data: • GPS functionality in Location and Security • GPS Status • Camera ICS or Default Camera • My Tracks • DMD Pano
Protocol for Point Structures • Take single shot/geo-tagged photo of SP billboard. • Take single shot/geo-tagged photos of the front, two sides and back of the SP. • For structures with flag poles, get waypoint right in front of the flag pole. • Get waypoint in front of the entrance door. • Take 360° shot inside of the structure. • Take 360° shot from the front of the structure. • Label and add observations before leaving the area.
Protocol for Linear Features Examples : Roads and other corridors, Electrification & Water System • Set the elevation and speed interval on the tablet. • Take geo-tagged photo of subproject billboard. • Record track from start to the end of the road. • Take single shot/geo-tagged photo, record waypoint and take 360˚ shot at three sections of the corridor depending on the length of the road—Beginning, Middle and End.
Protocol for Linear Features • Record waypoint and capture geo-tagged photo of other structures/POIs along the corridor (critical points, location of RCBC, RCPC, PCCP, slope protection, etc.). • Remember to label the captured single shot images, 360˚ shots, waypoints and tracks before leaving the area. • Surveyor can also add observations and/or brief description on the status of SPs.
Tasking and Coordination • Regional M&E 2 and 3 personnel shall focus on geo-tagging and post-processing of completed SPs (of all fund sources) • ACT/MCT shall conduct geo-tagging of the proposed sites, the updated accomplishment of SPs during their ocular inspections, and all NCDDP activities (not applicable in accelerated CEAC). Post-processed file will be submitted to SRPMT for quality checking.
Frequency of survey • Regional M&E 2 and 3 personnel shall collect geo-tagged data whenever he/she has an arranged monitoring visit or scheduled TA in the project area. • ACT/MCT shall conduct geo-tagging activities during the subproject implementation: • RFR 1st tranche • RFR 2nd tranche
Frequency of survey • During the first tranche, majority of the geo-tagged photos will include unoccupied lots. • Geo-tagged photos for the 2nd and 3rd tranches shall indicate the physical accomplishment based on the table below. *Required physical progress for the 3rd tranche is 90%.
Frequency of survey • It is important for the field surveyors to capture the same angle of geo-tagged photo for the 3 tranches to accurately observe and monitor the progress of SPs. • To ensure that SPs are 100% completed and functional, geo-tagging will be performed during its inauguration. • SP will also be geo-tagged every 6 months thereafter or every conduct of SET. • Minimum of 4 photos should be captured in every visit (front, 2 sides, back)
Sample: Inauguration 2 Take single shots of the front, side and back of the SP 5 Take 360 shot inside 4 Get waypoint in front of the entrance door 3 Get waypoint in front of the flag pole 1 Take single shot of SP billboard 6 7 Take 360 shot from the front Label and add observations before leaving the area
