OSINT At Home #5 - Creating a panorama from a video for geolocation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 січ 2021
- This tutorial is part 5 of the OSINT At Home series. It covers how to create a panorama of scenes in a video for geolocation - this specific technique is useful for those interested in imagery analysis.
A note on creating this panorama. I am currently using a MacBook, so my process has been to make screenshots of the video in a mac using COMMAND + SHIFT + 4. The panorama I made was created in preview (standard on all Mac computers). There are a number of other platforms you can use for both Windows and Mac, such as GIMP.
For geolocation, a panorama is not always necessary, however it is useful in more difficult geolocation tasks where there are limited ‘obvious’ features in the footage.
While I do cover a portion of geolocation in this tutorial, video 4 covers how to find the location of an image or video in its entirety, with a focus on geolocation methodology. You can find that video here: • OSINT At Home #4 - Ide... .
The OSINT At Home series is useful for those looking to find digital breadcrumbs and pick up some methods of open source intelligence (OSINT), digital investigations and good old plain research. No matter who you are, or where you are in the world, you can follow these tutorials from home with publicly available information to answer questions such as who, what, where and when.

Started watching your videos yesterday. Love the content! I tried Geoguessr for the first time yesterday (found it from the description) and did quite well. Thank you :)
Thanks Ray! Glad you’re enjoying geoguessr - such an addictive game and learning tool!
Nice video. Thank you.
god bless you
Just starting off in OSINT and this video playlist you've created is an amazing guide and very informative - thank you! I also love how all the tools you recommend are freely available for all to use.
One question I had was around time of year - as I presume Google maps / earth / street view are taken at certain times of year which may not always align with when the video or photo was taken. How would you tackle this? Take into account more man-made features which are less likely to change seasonally?
There's got to be a way to translate back azimuth triangulation onto your collage to be used as an artifact that jumps between birds eye and ground view
Hi I just started to learn OSINT and i find your videos very interesting and very instructive but i have a question i dont have a laptop . How can I create a panorama with my phone ?
Thanks and keep going in this way i love you bro .
I'm subscribe to you .
That’s a tough one. You could always use something like Canva on the phone and build your own panorama as a photo collage?
@@Bendobrown Yea i think it's gonna work thanks for what you doing men !!
Hey Ben....hope you're well mate. I've been using Hugin for this but I like the idea of using Preview as I'm a Mac user. A question...how are you aligning the individual photos in Preview e.g. making micro-adjustments to the left and right to line up the horizon. I'm sure it's a keyboard shortcut but I'm buggered if I can find it.
