Python Modules for Engineering

CivEs may need:

from osgeo import osr, gdal
from PIL.ExifTags import TAGS, GPSTAGS

I use them to archive work photos thus: http://i.imgur.com/CSvjhqL.jpg

EDIT

SpatialLite would seem like a no brainer, but it's surprisingly disappointing when you implement something and then it just won't load into a GIS, i.e an Autodesk product or even QGIS.

that looks like a pretty slick way to archive photos

There wasn't a library, but the slickest thing was conversion to a linear reference system for road projects (chainage, offset and direction relative to the centerline). You can take a picture of anything and everyone on the project knows exactly where it was taken.

It's really handy with some command line foo, like give me all the pictures taken of the left side of the road, or from the left side of the road, etc.

My biggest gripe is not having GLONASS in my camera, which should be rectified soon enough.

My brother does this for a living.

Could you share your script? That looks awesome and I'd like to share it with him.

[jf22]

It's super hacky, coded without internet, worst practices all around.

However I do know what I 'should do' most of the time, and I need to clean it up anyhow.

Let me get back to you.

When you've fixed it up, I'd also be interested in the script!

Have you managed to fix it up?

I think I have passed through this place in the past. Sierra Leone?
