  • Publication number: 20160219215
    Abstract: An operation burden in confirming a corresponding relationship between multiple still images and a traveled route is reduced. A survey data processing device includes a storing unit 106 and a UI controlling unit 105. The storing unit 105 stores survey data, in which image data of multiple still images that are photographed from a mobile body while flying is correlated with a flight route of the mobile body.
