Guys,  
I have a gopro video that was installed under the wing of a glider and towed in one straight direction. One straight line … about 40 minutes, the area over which we flew is unfortunately very similar to each other, practically identical, so I have already accepted the fact that I have no chance of any key points. We also did not do the calibration, so this is another reason to probably forget about a good product but is it at least possible to plot these individual pictures.

They are 4k so plenty overlap… If I can plot them in one direction as it’s just a one-line - this would be already an amazing output.

P.S. I do have trajectories, sampled every sec with lat/long/z  
Massive thank you for all your help

Hi,

Hi Arnaud,

It is possible to use a video for processing in PIX4Dmapper but I am not sure what you mean by plotting the pictures. As you mentioned the project is not going to be georeferenced nor it will have image orientation tags in the exif. So you could try out what is suggested below:
