SiteScan workaround for geotagging images

[Deepanwita]

We are facing challenges with Site Scan while processing imagery from drones other than DJI and Freefly especially the drones that are made in India and are collecting images through PPK technology. Images and geotags are generated separately as an excel file which makes the data unable to be processed on Site Scan directly.

Images are geotagged in this format:

And produces this error in SiteScan:

We are currently using the open-source tool ‘exiftool’ as a temporary fix for this problem. However, this is a very cumbersome process compared to the workflow available in other software.

We need a plug in/workaround that is built into Site Scan that will act carry out Exiftool’s functionality without resorting to a third party application.
