QGIS Full Motion Video (FMV) #QGISFMV
Plugin for QGIS 3 which allows to analyze, visualize and process videos inside the QGIS environment. QGIS FMV accepts multiple video formats such as mp4, ts, avi, etc. It is also able to extract video frames, to capture the current frame, to plot bitrate and to observe the video metadata with aerial images and more. It also offers the possibility to create reports with video metadata.
Standards supported:
- "UAS Datalink Local Set", ST0601.11

This development arises after observing that there was no free solution for the metadata extraction and video analysis in real time. All solutions are APIs or private tools such as Esri, for this reason, I decided to develop this open source project and, this way, offer this open source alternative to the QGIS community.
-
FFMPEG : After downloading it, you should store it in an accessible folder and modify
settings.iniwith the corresponding path.For example D://FFMPEG -
OpenCV :
python3 -m pip install opencv-python -
opencv-contrib-python :
python3 -m pip install opencv-contrib-python -
MatPlotLib :
python3 -m pip install matplotlib -
Klvdata : customized version of this library.
-
Homography :
python3 -m pip install homography
The plugin install automatically this requisites,but you can install it using:
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
To see the video you need:
- Linux:
sudo apt-get install gst123(install GStreamer dependencies) - Window: install LAV Filters (install DirectShow Media Decoders)
The use of this application is simple. It only needs a video with metadata, like for example one of these (ESRI copyright) Then, open the plugin where the "video manager" will be shown, open the video and with a double-click, the "player" will be opened. At this moment, you will see that new shapes have been added and you will see the platform position, metadata, etc.
If we don't have a MISB video we can create it from a video file and telemetry file from a DJI for example.
For more information about the Unmanned Air System (UAS) metadata from STANAG 4609
The installation can be done from the executable if it is in windows or from the zip
Windows automatically installs all, with user permission,If an error occurs, you should perform some checks.
Archlinux installation :
pacman -S qgis python-matplotlib opencv ffmpeg
pip install homography
FFmpeg path
ffmpeg = "/usr/bin/"
ffprobe = "/usr/bin/"
- Convert videos to other format
- Extract metadata from video file
- Show Platform,Trajectory,Footprint and beams position in a QGIS
- Possibility of extracting parts of the video
- Capture of the current frame
- Extraction of all frames of the video
- Extract lon/lat/alt cursor coordinates
- Apply sobel filters, edge detection ...
