Package: geoselect
A script to select photos from a set, based on geographical location.
Either via a decimal latitude/longitude point. Or a photo taken in the
desired location, it will look for exif standerized gps lat- and
longitude tags.InstallingPipThe easiest way is to use pip to download and install the script.pip install geoselectGet (latest) source# clone this repo
clone https://github.com/FreekKalter/geoselect.git
cd geoselect

# initialize virtual environment (optional, but recommended)
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# install (--editable to hack on code whithout running pip install again)
pip install --editable .UsingThere are 2 ways to specify the location to select on. LOCATION can be a
“latitude,longitude” specified in decimal degrees like: “41.40338,
2.17403”. Or it can be a path to a photo with exif gps coordinates, it
will then search for photos taken at the same location. It will search
within a specified radius (default: 1 km).If--pathis set, geoselect will look at that location for images
with common file extensions (jpg, jpeg, gif, bmp, png). This can be set
to something else with the--extensionsparameter. If--pathis
not set, paths to pictures are taken from stdinput. This way it can be
used as a stream filter, like most unix/linux commandline utils. For
example take the following pipeline:find /home/fkalter/photos-name'*holiday*' | geoselect--radius10 "40.783068,-73.965350"| wc-lTo count the number of pictures taken in/around central park wich have
‘holiday’ in the filename.A (expiremental) feature uses the time a picture is taken toguesat
wich location it is made. Sometimes the device used to make the picture
takes a while to get a ‘gps fix’. So it might not register the gps
coordinates for the first picture in a series. The--time-basedoption looks for any pictures taken in a short time before or after a
picture with the specified location is taken. Because it is very likely
pictures taken very shortly after each ohter are taken at roughly the
same location.usage: geoselect.py [-h] [--path PATH] [--extentions EXTENTIONS] [--copy-to COPYTO] [--time-based] [--radius RADIUS]

A script to select photos from a set, based on geographical location. Either via a decimal latitude/longitude point.
Or a photo taken in the desired location, it will look for exif standerized gps lat- and longitude tags.

positional arguments:
  location              location given in decimal degrees like: "40.783068, -73.965350", or a path to a photo with
                        exif gps info

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --path PATH           path to look for image files, if not set files will be taken from stdin
  --extentions EXTENTIONS
                        comma separated list of extension to look for in PATH
  --copy-to COPYTO      path where found photos should be copied
  --time-based          also add photos wich themselfs dont have gps information, but are taken in a short time
                        before or after one that has (in the right location)
  --radius RADIUS       radius of area (in kilometers) to select photos from
  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
