Topic: Super High Definition Aerial Imagery
Speaker: Johnathan Carley, ASAP Geomatix Inc
If
your organisation or a customer of yours has ever asked if you can zoom
into an image better, this presentation will answer that question. A
presentation discussing the features and uses behind super-high
resolution aerial imagery. Satellite and aerial imagery are well
understood by any GIS specialist. However the use of small area,
super-high definition imagery for precision mapping, survey and 3D
modelling are often overlooked. Imagery is usually used for large-scale
features such as tree lines, terrain elevation, water features,
roads/highways etc. SHD imagery allows for much more detailed mapping
and planning for engineering projects, environmental assessments,
geological survey and analysis, emergency response planning and
management.
Highlights for this presentation include:
· Introduction to ASAP Geomatix.
· What is SHD Super High Definition imagery?
· What are the benefits to SHD?
· What SHD imagery is for and not for?
· Large volume data management techniques.
· Who uses SHD image data?
· Geo-referencing & layer management.
· Object analysis within SHD image data.
· Presentation of SHD information to the customer.
· Workflow with SHD data, KMLs, POIs (Points of interest), and WMS (Web
Mapping Service) from ASAP.
