Witness of the past
Stereo perspective : Stereoscope or scan and integrate in a numerical stereo software
Scan + orthorectify + georeferenced

Why redesigning GéoPhoto?
Old interface not enough convivialNo localisation engine, no filter, complex search…
Complex update (adding new photos) Excel, Access, ShapeFile, ArcIMS
One collection (Laval University)
Not built to be collaborative
