1 00:00:04,249 --> 00:00:01,550 I this is my quest from med about the 2 00:00:06,410 --> 00:00:04,259 dog here we've got two photos of Toronto 3 00:00:09,049 --> 00:00:06,420 taken from different altitudes from 4 00:00:13,999 --> 00:00:09,059 approximately the same location in in 5 00:00:16,670 --> 00:00:14,009 Hamilton Ontario this lower one here is 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:16,680 taken from down near sea level and you 7 00:00:22,220 --> 00:00:19,050 can see that you can only see the tops 8 00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:22,230 of the buildings the upper one here is 9 00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:24,510 taken from a much higher altitude upon 10 00:00:33,020 --> 00:00:29,910 mountain park view which is about 400 11 00:00:34,970 --> 00:00:33,030 feet above the lake now I've taken both 12 00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:34,980 these photos and I put them into Google 13 00:00:42,290 --> 00:00:39,600 Earth and I've overlaid them from 14 00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:42,300 approximately their correct location now 15 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:44,160 this is the lake here the lake is at 16 00:00:47,660 --> 00:00:46,170 about 200 and something feet above sea 17 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:47,670 level and Google Earth doesn't render 18 00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:49,410 the surfaces of lakes very well so you 19 00:00:54,410 --> 00:00:51,840 have to add a flat path like this onto 20 00:00:56,209 --> 00:00:54,420 the lake so you can see the surface of 21 00:00:58,430 --> 00:00:56,219 the lake and that will actually appear 22 00:01:02,869 --> 00:00:58,440 to be above where Google Earth is 23 00:01:05,690 --> 00:01:02,879 rendering it let's look at the first 24 00:01:12,859 --> 00:01:05,700 view first photo from the mountain park 25 00:01:15,620 --> 00:01:12,869 view and here it is I've aligned it with 26 00:01:17,390 --> 00:01:15,630 the horizon and I've turned on 3d 27 00:01:18,890 --> 00:01:17,400 buildings and the 3d buildings will pop 28 00:01:22,850 --> 00:01:18,900 interview in a minute and you can see 29 00:01:25,820 --> 00:01:22,860 that it lines up with what we can see in 30 00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:25,830 the 3d 3d view is the same as in the 31 00:01:30,530 --> 00:01:28,110 photo view now you see the red lines 32 00:01:32,030 --> 00:01:30,540 here are the actual service of the leg 33 00:01:34,039 --> 00:01:32,040 which from this viewpoint is very 34 00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:34,049 similar to what Google Earth renders but 35 00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:35,520 you can see it's actually slightly above 36 00:01:41,170 --> 00:01:38,880 so what you see in this photo matches 37 00:01:43,850 --> 00:01:41,180 very well what we would expect to see 38 00:01:45,679 --> 00:01:43,860 from the curvature of the earth owning 39 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:45,689 obscuring a very very small portion of 40 00:01:50,569 --> 00:01:48,210 the bottom of the the building we can 41 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:50,579 look a little closer here if we click on 42 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:53,850 get info on that we can see the actual 43 00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:55,890 settings that I've used and I can change 44 00:02:01,069 --> 00:01:58,770 the transparency so you can see what is 45 00:02:02,660 --> 00:02:01,079 obscure at this area down here very 46 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:02,670 small area at the bottom is going to be 47 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:05,810 obscured let's have a look at the other 48 00:02:14,210 --> 00:02:12,290 photo down from Van Wagner's beach and 49 00:02:20,510 --> 00:02:14,220 because we have much close 50 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:20,520 to actual sea level the the curvature of 51 00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:22,650 the earth is obscuring a lot of the 52 00:02:28,580 --> 00:02:24,120 buildings let's look I have a closer 53 00:02:30,860 --> 00:02:28,590 look at that and I'm going to change the 54 00:02:33,890 --> 00:02:30,870 transparency again and you can see this 55 00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:33,900 all this area of Toronto is missing from 56 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:35,910 this photo because it's obscured by the 57 00:02:40,910 --> 00:02:38,250 curvature of the earth and this this red 58 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:40,920 these red lines here are the actual 59 00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:45,210 surface of the lake yeah and i think i 60 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:46,800 have been slightly off there but you can 61 00:02:52,610 --> 00:02:50,010 see the basic idea is that the the lake 62 00:02:56,930 --> 00:02:52,620 itself is obscuring all this lower 63 00:02:58,510 --> 00:02:56,940 portion of toronto and enter 64 00:03:01,970 --> 00:02:58,520 demonstrating the curvature of the earth 65 00:03:03,890 --> 00:03:01,980 ok that concludes that but i'm going to 66 00:03:09,170 --> 00:03:03,900 show you real quick how i actually do 67 00:03:11,210 --> 00:03:09,180 this let me cancel that out here what 68 00:03:12,890 --> 00:03:11,220 what we do with the photo here you take 69 00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:12,900 the link to a photo and you can just use 70 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:15,030 a link to one of the photos posted in 71 00:03:20,570 --> 00:03:19,050 meta bunk and then you've got to find 72 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:20,580 where the viewpoint is so let's say 73 00:03:24,500 --> 00:03:22,170 we're taking the one down by the beach 74 00:03:25,970 --> 00:03:24,510 I'm just going to pick a different spot 75 00:03:29,390 --> 00:03:25,980 here just slightly further along the 76 00:03:31,250 --> 00:03:29,400 beach I click all the way down actually 77 00:03:36,290 --> 00:03:31,260 first of all I need to get the viewpoint 78 00:03:40,190 --> 00:03:36,300 the actual link darkness beach view get 79 00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:40,200 in fur alright so this here is the 80 00:03:46,220 --> 00:03:43,680 original link to the picture so I'm 81 00:03:47,570 --> 00:03:46,230 going to use this as a photo overlay now 82 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:47,580 what I've done to make things a bit 83 00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:52,130 easier for myself is I've added this 84 00:03:59,060 --> 00:03:56,400 purple polygon here which indicates 85 00:04:06,280 --> 00:03:59,070 where the tower is the rugged the way 86 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:06,290 that's done is you oops you add a 87 00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:08,850 polygon and you just do click click 88 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:11,040 click click make a four-sided polygon 89 00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:14,930 then you change the altitude to be 90 00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:19,680 relative to the ground and 10,000 meters 91 00:04:25,410 --> 00:04:23,190 and click on extend sides to ground you 92 00:04:28,500 --> 00:04:25,420 can change the color if you like 93 00:04:30,210 --> 00:04:28,510 and then when you look at it from a long 94 00:04:32,430 --> 00:04:30,220 way away you can see exactly where 95 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:32,440 something is and I've done this one over 96 00:04:36,660 --> 00:04:34,330 the CN tower in toronto which is the 97 00:04:42,330 --> 00:04:36,670 most noticeable one lock so then we just 98 00:04:49,170 --> 00:04:42,340 get rid of that and go back to the beach 99 00:04:54,390 --> 00:04:49,180 over here so i go down to the beach and 100 00:04:55,590 --> 00:04:54,400 go down into ground level view just keep 101 00:04:59,220 --> 00:04:55,600 clicking until you get down to the 102 00:05:04,370 --> 00:04:59,230 ground and line myself up with Toronto 103 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:04,380 over there and then I click on add photo 104 00:05:18,260 --> 00:05:08,770 it's just up in the menu add photo and I 105 00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:21,600 artists beach now if I click on the 106 00:05:28,290 --> 00:05:26,080 photo button here you see you get all 107 00:05:29,970 --> 00:05:28,300 these numbers here and what you can do 108 00:05:31,470 --> 00:05:29,980 is change the transparency so it's 109 00:05:36,270 --> 00:05:31,480 transparent and then you need to adjust 110 00:05:38,220 --> 00:05:36,280 these until you can you made the field 111 00:05:42,150 --> 00:05:38,230 of view as narrow as possible you can 112 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:42,160 see that the Toronto 3d model over here 113 00:05:45,450 --> 00:05:43,930 is getting bigger and bigger so you just 114 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:45,460 adjust this until it's about the same 115 00:05:53,370 --> 00:05:50,410 size then you will adjust things like 116 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:53,380 the tilts will actually what you need to 117 00:06:01,320 --> 00:05:56,410 do first is just exit the ground level 118 00:06:02,790 --> 00:06:01,330 view and then go back into that photo 119 00:06:04,620 --> 00:06:02,800 otherwise it gets little confused 120 00:06:07,140 --> 00:06:04,630 alright so we change the transparency 121 00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:07,150 again we change the field of view until 122 00:06:14,910 --> 00:06:09,430 things are about the same size we change 123 00:06:17,070 --> 00:06:14,920 the tilts to line things up and then we 124 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:17,080 change the heading so it's perfectly 125 00:06:21,140 --> 00:06:18,250 lined up but then you just need to do 126 00:06:24,420 --> 00:06:21,150 fine adjustments until this is correct 127 00:06:26,610 --> 00:06:24,430 and then click on OK and then you will 128 00:06:28,260 --> 00:06:26,620 have the overlay you see I didn't finish 129 00:06:33,810 --> 00:06:28,270 doing it here but of course I've already
