Version 1.8

The most modern mobile client-server solution for an automated geocoded storage and archiving of photos in your building maps

The photos can be marked with predefined

keywords or individually by the user.

The user has the possibility to create custom layers

for a comfortable map presentation.

The user has to specify the type of the photo

(„Route”, „Location”, or „Other”) and the stage of

construction(„Before”, „During”, „After”). It is

done right after the photo is taken and cannot be

changed anytime later. Depending on the

previous photo classification, the system gives

you a set of predefined keywords. Finally, the

photo will be transferred to the online photo

archive.

Thanks to our mobile app, photos are automatically assigned to

defined construction projects on basis of the location. The

material contains the following information: user name, date,

location, photo direction, GPS accuracy and device name.

What is Foto-GIS ? 1/2

It is specifically developed for the continuous photo

documentation of building projects, especially the installation of

optic fiber networks, gas piplines and water pipe networks.

What is Foto-GIS ? 2/2Function overview

Images are automatically assigned to individual projects (e.g districts/ new construction areas/ construction sites/ defined GIS polygons) on the basis of the geo-coordinates. However, individual construction projects have to be created and implanted in the system before.

The photo material is centrally available for the Foto-GIS users through convenient WEB interface which is supported by web browsers such as Google Chrome from version 43, Mozilla Firefox from version 45, Opera from version 37, Microsoft Edge from version 12 and Safari from version 9.

The recordings are transmitted in full resolution of the used device and can thus also be processed as

4K pictures. A reduction of the quality for space reasons is not necessary but also possible.

The photo archive collects up to 1 milion pictures and displays them precisely on the map, including

the direction of the picture and weather data such as temperature, humidity, pressure, velocity and

direction of wind, cloudiness, rain and snow downfall. The online archive is permanent and

always safer than any data carrier.

All of the photos are automatically synchronized with dedicated online archive (GIS Cloud Storage).

Data is stored only on European servers.The app captures exactly who, when, where, why and what was photographed!
