GeoTagging:

 Introduction

 What is geotagging?

 How Does Geotagging Work?

Geotagging is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as
photographs, video, websites, other information is a form of geospatial metadata. These data
usually consist of latitude and longitude coordinates, though they can also include altitude, bearing,
accuracy data, and place names.
Geotagging can help users find a wide variety of location-specific information. For instance, one
can find images taken near a given location by entering latitude and longitude coordinates into a
Geotagging-enabled image search engine. Geotagging-enabled information services can also
potentially be used to find location-based news, websites, or other resources.

When you take a photo and enable your GPS, it stores the physical location where the photo was
taken. Geotagging is the process of assigning coordinates to photos.

In general, these coordinates are in latitude and longitude and in decimal degrees.
Geotagging data can be tagged through

1.Mobile Application

2.Desktop Application

In Mobile application we take photographs of asset along with latitude, longitude and other
information.

In Desktop application the MIS data is associate with latitude and longitude i.e geotagged.It use QGIS
OR ARCGIS for visualization.

What ever the geotagged data is collected it can be visualize in web with Locational information.

Any Mis data is associated with coordinate system that is geotagged.

Purpose of using the technique

Geotagging Android application.

1) To identify geographically the access, location and influence areas of data.

3) To oversee the progress of implementing data.

5) To share gathered data through a web based GIS mapping application.

6) To engage the community to crowd source geographic information relevant to their locality and to

the program.

7) To eventually overlay the geo-tagged data to existing GIS data sets of other poverty .

Applications of geo-tagging:

Social media: Users can geotag photos that can be added to the page of the location they are
tagging. Users may also use a feature that allows them to find nearby Face book friends, by
generating a list of people according to the location tracker in their mobile devices.

Daily updates: The increasing numbers of cell phones with built-in GPS facilities are capable of geo-
tagging a photograph as its being shot.
Efficiency: Allows projects in remote and conflict-affected locations to be easily and accurately
located, managed and validated.

Health system: Used as a Monitoring Tool in Large Scale Public Health Projects it enable to capture
the location on the mobile device it also allows users to read this location for varied purposes.

Infrastructure: Geo-tagging of assets will ensure better monitoring, recording, and terrain mapping
for future development works.

Public works: Easy identification of assets created under MNREGA, such information can be utilized
for creation of additional developmental works on existing assets.

Specific advertisements: advertisements relevant to particular area can be customized according to

targeted audience, place and product
