This group aims to encourage uptake of Web Video Map Tracks (WebVMT) to help establish an online ecosystem of users and developers by providing a forum in which to:
identify & refine use cases;
ensure that the design is fit for purpose;
resolve implementation issues;
develop supporting documentation & tools;
progress towards standardisation.
Participation is welcomed by anyone providing constructive input regarding these topics within the scope of 'synchronising geolocation with video for the web', and by those with relevant expertise in particular.
Note: Community Groups are proposed and run by the community. Although W3C hosts these
conversations, the groups do not necessarily represent the views of the W3C Membership or staff.
Try the free GPX import tool which is designed to help import location data from GPX-compliant video devices to share geotagged video online with WebVMT. This is ideal for users of all location-aware video devices – such as drones, dashcams, body-worn videos, helmet cameras and smartphones – who want to get started with WebVMT.
Our community groups are free to join, so please show your support by joining here at W3C and on github. Get involved and help us make our community stronger.
A new GitHub repository has been created for the WebVMT Community Group, and is now live at https://github.com/webvmt/community-group/. Join us to help shape the future of location with video for the web.
A machine learning algorithm needs to be trained to recognise cats and dogs from video footage. The learning process can be accelerated if the training footage is manually tagged to classify timed sections of video when cats and dogs appear, which can be done in a common metadata format with the proposed data sync feature in WebVMT using the following excerpt:
This approach is applicable to any project using video as input to a machine learning algorithm, regardless of the video encoding format, e.g. MPEG, WebM, OGG, etc. and without modifying the video files themselves.
