VIRB Edit Software Version 2.3.2 Released

This is certainly something I am interested in. I wish to use the Garmin Virb Elite (I own a couple) to capture video and GPS tracks to be imported into ArcMap using ESRI's Full Motion Video extension. It requires, as the previous member quoted, video containing ESD, MISB 0104.5, or MISB 0601 metadata standard. At this early stage, I can't see any way to import the video's accompanying GPX track file, or any type of track file.
I will research alternatives, and post here if I discover anything useful (for example, there may be a utility that stamps the video with GPX tracks).

Hi! Did you find any alternative to use VIRB with Arcmap FMV?

Thank you!

VIRB Edit currently emits no location-based metadata at all.

However, if this is something you're interested in then this is certainly something we can investigate. Send me a personal message if you'd like to follow up.

Is there a follow up on this thread... I just be purchased a Virb XE and I'm using VIRB edit. I also want to use ArcGIS FMV with but this Add-In requires video to contain metadata compliant with the ESD, MISB 0104.5, or MISB 0601 metadata standard

TY

Thank you for your input.

There is no follow-up thread and we haven't gotten around to implementing this just yet. But questions like this help put it higher in the list of possible future features. I'll have one of our engineers do a little investigation what it would take to make this happen.

Any Update on Compatability with ESRI FMV?

I am also looking for a camera that will export with video the proper metadata for use in ESRI's Full Motion Video extending for ArcMap. I can see a lot of potential for road condition surveys having a few Virbs mounted on a vehicle.

ESIR seems to be very excited about recent upgrades to the extension and are showcasing it heavily right now. I can see a lot of potential, and sales, of VIRBs if they can work with this extension.

What is FMV extension?

Just wondering if there is any update on having a video export with location metadata following MISB standards for use in ESRI's FMV extension? Or if there is a workflow that will get the gpx/fit data into the video file's metadata. I did send in a suggestion to development team and filled out a suggestion form.

Don't hold your breath, whatever you do.

Virb XE to FMV

At ArcGIS 10.4 the FMV extension will have a multiplexer tool that will take video and an external gps log and write the metadata into the video stream, producing a new video file containing MISB-compliant content. I wrote a python script that uses the Ant SDK's FitCSVTool and ffmpeg to get the required data from a .fit file and videos and write a suitable file that can be used with the video(s) as input to the multiplexer. It is still very much in development and incomplete but if anyone is interested, send me a PM and I will be happy to share. Right now it gets the Virb location and timestamp, among other things, which is sufficient to embed the sensor's point location in the video frames. In order to display things like look azimuth and ifov on a map, however, I need to understand how to leverage the gyroscope and accelerometer data. The problem is not getting it from the fit file - I can export it along with the gps data to a csv file. But I have no idea how to interpret it or convert it to something meaningful. Now on one hand I'm kind of OK with that since my use is mostly for motorcycling (ground-level video capture where I can usually see the horizon in the video frame) so I doubt I'll need to georeference all four corners of the video. It's most likely that it will be sufficient for my purposes to show the Virb location as a point on a map with the video playing in a side window. On the other hand, I can imagine the drone guys wanting to show the full FMV footprint. In theory this should be possible, too, with the right manipulation of the gyro/accelerometer data. Unfortunately I have been unable to find any documentation on how to accomplish that. If anyone has ideas or can guide me and feels like helping figure this out, shoot me a PM. Thanks.
Cheers,
