Consumer awareness and retail penetration of high definition (HD) technologies has increased dramatically over the last few years. This has led not only to increased interest and expectation of these technologies but also affordability of equipment. Global Positioning Systems (GPS) have also seen a very dramatic increase in consumer exposure and affordability with in car navigation systems, as an example, becoming more common place. The integration of HD Video (HDV) and GPS offers new research and development directions in many of the application areas that spatial video has played a role in to date. These include many mapping and navigation application areas such vehicular route corridor surveys, aerial and marine studies and location based services (LBS).
