gipfel is a tool to find the names of mountains or points of interest on a picture. It uses a database containing names and GPS data.

With the given viewpoint (the point from which the picture was taken) and two known mountains on the picture, it can compute all parameters needed to compute the positions of other mountains on the picture.

Additionally, gipfel can try to guess these parameter if only one mountain is known on the picture. In this case, a few other peaks need to be marked, but it is not necessary to know their names. It can also be used to play around with the parameters manually.

But be warned: It is pretty difficult to find the right parameters for a given picture manually.

Requirements:
UNIX-like system (e.g. Linux, *BSD)
fltk-1.1
ccmath
