Abstract

When analyzing the data of photos and videos, it's very important to determine the shooting time and place. Usually, we can get the sun's shadow from the pictures and videos and establish different mathematical models to solve time and space positioning problems by the known parameters. Firstly, use basic amounts to establish Analemmatic sundial model; when obtaining a series of picture messages, you can get vertex coordinate data of a fixture's sun shadow on the level ground. Then to establish |y/x| scale model by Orthogonal multinomial fitting method, which can solve the latitude and longitude separately, and select 1 ‰ screening indicator as the error correction to get exact location; About shooting time, according to |y/x| scale model determining the position longitude, using MATLAB to enumerate solar declination, then develop Dynamic measurement error filter rule, select the appropriate latitude and solar declination values to calculate shooting date; when getting a video recording a fixture shadow changes, use MATLAB function of Videoreader frame image, then use Rgb2gray Function convert into gray image, finally use Ginput Function reads the image coordinates. Use those to establish a comprehensive model to get the time and location of the video shoot. Accomplish data analyzing work, which has important applications in the investigation, pointing prediction, spatial and temporal positioning and so on. Before establishing the model, there are some assumptions are as follows:  Assuming that the earth is a rule sphere, the entire radius are equal.  Assuming that the sun light is parallel to the Earth, and the communication process is unhindered.  Assuming that the number of days in a year is 365 days. After accessing to information, we can know that the sun irradiating to the Earth's surface projected shadow, whose length is related to ascension, hour angle and solar altitude, they represent the meridional coordinate of equatorial coordinate system, the difference between the right ascension (RA) and local the sidereal time (LST), the angle formed by the Earth's equatorial plane and the line between the center of the earth and sun and the angle formed by the sun's rays and earth surface tangent (1).
