[OSM-talk] An example photo/video mapping trip

[Nikhil Upadhye]

Thanks Paul for sharing files!
I have submitted proposal for JSOM plugin development to extract
information from such images and videos under GSoC this year.
This plugin will use image processing to extract the key features such
as road signs, max speed, bus stop etc as you have indicated in some
images. These extracted features from images/videos will be
automatically added to map with respective tags after synchronizing
with gps tracks.

I would request if anyone has such images/videos along with gpx file
to share here as these will be helpful while developing the plugin.
