H4D Accessories H system accessories include general items such as filters, straps and lens shades etc., as well as specialist items. For instance, the Global Image Locator (GIL) ensures all images captured outside are tagged with GPS coordinates, time and altitude. This data provides the key to a number of future applica- tions involving image archiving and retrieval. One example is the direct mapping of images in Phocus software to the Google Earth application. Then there is the HTS 1.
