About

UN

Read full description

This UN ASIGN application has been developed by AnsuR for crowd sourcing Geo referenced photos and text from areas affected by larger humanitarian disasters to the United Nations entity UNITAR/UNOSAT. Seconds after you send a geo-picture it will be available in a map at the receiver side. The input of in situ visual information will help UNOSAT assess damages and situations from Space based satellite imagery in particular and will help various entities in the UN-system conduct operations. Selected images and data provided via this application will be integrated into professional on-line mapping portals and will normally be made available to the public. Contributors by definition will allow use of the images and data for non commercial purposes related to managing the disasters they are related to. They will not be used commercially. Images provided by the Crowd will help affected countries, UN, EC, Red Cross family and NGOs to make better and faster decisions in disaster management. Please add text to describe the photos. Your input is being received at a UN server in hosted by CERN in Geneva and images are being assessed by OCHA and UNITAR/UNOSAT, as the information is useful for both effective co-ordination as well as validation of satellite image analysis related to natural disasters. The photos are automatically time-stamped and geo-referenced (geo-pictures). GPS is most precise, but basically only works outdoors, hence the ASIGN solution also includes positioning via cellular and Wi-Fi networks. Photos are compressed significantly to save time, cost and bandwidth, but higher resolution parts can be automatically requested later if needed, in which case the photo-provider is notified with an SMS if the phone number is properly registered. Please note how this is done. As a user of this application you will also be able to log in to the ASIGN server and view your own photos. There is a TEST-switch, so do not be afraid to try it out. UN-ASIGN has been developed by AnsuR, as part of a European FP7 Funded Project Called GEO-PICTURES, and is being operated in collaboration with UNITAR/UNOSAT. This application is a simplified version of ASIGN, that been developed by AnsuR as a professional tool for disaster management and early responders.

Scoop Camera Pro

Features
Read full description

Scoop Camera Pro is the camera that does not make you wait. The moment you open the app, video and audio are already recording. So the perfect shot of your cat, your baby, or the dog catching a frisbee cannot outrun your shutter finger. Built for the moments that do not pose for you: Cats stretching, leaping, blinking, or doing whatever cats do Babies first smile, first crawl, first wobbly steps Pets running, jumping, mid-zoomies Kids in motion: sports, scooters, playground time Sleeping animals that wake the second you reach for your phone Anything you have ever missed because you took half a second too long How it works: Open Scoop Camera Pro. Recording is already on. Point at whatever you want to capture. Press the big red button to stop. The video saves to your Photos library, and the app asks: save a still from this clip too? If yes, scrub through the timeline and pick the exact moment, eyes open, smile peaking, paws off the ground. It saves as a regular photo. Why it is better than a normal shutter: Press the shutter on a normal camera and you get one image. With Scoop Camera Pro, every shutter press is a 30 frames per second video. You pick the keeper afterwards, when there is no pressure. Eyes closed? Pick the next frame. Cat blinked? Pick a different one. The moment is already on disk. Privacy and pricing: Everything stays on your device. The video saves to your Photos library, and only the stills you choose to save are written to Photos. There is no account, no upload, no cloud, no analytics, no ads. One time purchase. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. Works on iPhone running iOS 17 or later. Localized in 12 languages.
