What is metadata?

Metadata is additional, more detailed descriptive data for a file. For example, if an aerial image is taken by drone, the following data is saved together with the image:

  • Coordinates of the position from which the image was taken
  • Name of the camera used
  • Position parameters of the camera used
  • Technical parameters of the camera used
  • Time of day
Photo metadata is of paramount importance for photogrammetry .
