QGIS FULL MOTION VIDEO

What is it?

Plugin for QGIS 3 which allows to analyze, visualize and process videos inside the QGIS environment. QGIS FMV accepts multiple video formats such as mp4, ts, avi, etc. It is also able to extract video frames, to capture the current frame, to plot bitrate and to observe the video metadata with aerial images and more. It also offers the possibility to create reports with video metadata.

What is Full Motion Video (FMV)?

Motivation

This development arises after observing that there was no free solution for the metadata extraction and video analysis in real time. All solutions are private tools, for this reason, I decided to develop this open source project and, this way, offer this open source alternative to the QGIS and the general community.

What is MISB.

Why is it Important?

http://www.gwg.nga.mil/misb/faq.html#section1.1

The Motion Imagery Standards Board (MISB) was established in accordance with DoD Directive 5105.60 "to formulate, review, and recommend standards for Motion Imagery, associated Metadata, Audio, and other related systems" for the Department of Defense (DoD), Intelligence Community (IC), and National System for Geospatial-Intelligence (NSG). The MISB exists under the Geospatial Intelligence Standards Working Group (GWG) which is operated by the GEOINT Standards Center of Excellence division at NGA.

The MISB meets three times a year (typically February, June and October) in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. The MISB is comprised of working groups that address different functional areas regarding Motion Imagery.

The metadata is collected from Uav following a standard "UAS Datalink Local Set", ST0601.11"

Example of a metadata Key-Length-Value (KLV) packet. It is formed by a key (in orange), the length of the whole packet (in red), and a sequence of metadata. Each metadata is identified by a tag (in yellow), the length of the data (in magenta) and the information itself (in green).
