Request for Cell phone cam images
by Decius at 1:45 pm EDT, Jul 15, 2004

] Mei's cellphone can tag each photo she takes with the
] latitude/longitude coordinates. Last night she tried
] sending a geotagged jpeg for the first time, so this
] morning I started researching how to get the coordinates
] out of the jpeg. It turns out that the data is stored in
] EXIF headers.

My last request didn't garner any responses, but here is another one. This poster claim's their cellphone automatically imbeds GPS data into every picture. I'm sceptical. The phone brand is never mentioned. There are a few software applications out there that will take "track" data from a gps receiver combined with timestamped pictures from a digital camera and stamp all the images with the GPS info. Also there are high end digital cameras with built in GPS receivers that will do this kind of tagging. But I've never heard of a cellphone that does this.

In any event, it would be interesting to see what information is being stored in your various camera phone pictures. Take a cam-phone pic, send it to me, and lemme extract the data.

This page also has some links to some interesting geographical photo blogs. None of them offer exactly what I'm looking for, but all of them come close. I'll post about what I've found later.
