Definition
Geographic video content includes both spatial and temporal geographic characteristics acquired through ground-based or non-ground-based cameras.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) incorporate three key types of geographic information: spatial information, representing areas and entities on a map, tabular information, representing related information about these areas and entities, and image informationof these areas and entities, such as satellite images, aerial photographs, and the like. This information is combined into progressive layers or slices to provide the user with better understanding of a location for various purposes, such as finding the best physical location for a new road or calculating crop rotation patterns to prevent cross-contamination of genetically-modified crops. However, whereas the capture and use of this information within GIS is now well understood, exploiting both the spatial and...
