Panoramax video uploads

Panoramax is an open-source software stack to create street level imagery open alternatives. It is an open collaborative immersive views project nurtured by an international community of contributors and users, operating as a federation of instances. Currently, Panoramax only accept uploading images whereas typical cameras used for image acquisition enable "timelapse" video recordings that can provide more photos (several frames per second instead of one picture every two seconds at best, which limits the acquisition for higher-speed vehicles).

As of today, contributors are required to pre-process their video files using local scripts to extract compatible images before uploading them. The aim of the “Video uploading for Panoramax” project is to integrate this processing on the server side to make direct video contributions possible and much simpler. The developments will have to be adapted for at least the most common cameras available on the market (GoPro, Qoocam) and deal with the different metadata formats.
