The interactive geographic video

MediaGIS is a concept of tightly integrated multimedia with spatial information. VideoGIS is an example of MediaGIS focused on the integration and interaction of video and spatial information. Our suggested GeoVideo, a new concept of interactive geographic video has its key feature in interactiveness. In GeoVideo, the geographic tasks such as browsing, searching, querying, and spatial analysis can be performed based on video itself. GeoVideo can have the meaning of paradigm shift from artificial, static, abstracted, and graphical paradigm to natural, dynamic, real, and image-based paradigm. We discuss about the integration of video and geography and also suggest the GeoVideo system design. Studies on the systematic architecture utilizing the video stream and MPEG must follow with the inter-disciplinary studies especially on the computer vision and virtual reality.
