KML Tour Generator

Overview

Generate camera tours KML files from a target and route (manual/circle).
This is an proof-of-concept version with minimal capabilities.

KML supports look-at but we want to calculate the camera.
This is useful for simulation of data such as KLV (MISB 601).
The KML is used with Google Earth Pro to generate video.
Multiplexing of video and KLV is currently beyond the scope of the project.

Getting started

The code is written in python and tested with version 3.6.

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Webiks/kml-tour-generator.git
cd kml-tour-generator

Setup virtual environment:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the code:

python main.py

test2.kml file should be generated.
Open the file in Google Earth Pro, see the data and play the tour.
