A WORK IN PROGRESS
INITIAL PROJECT GOALS
• GATHER IMAGES OF AS MANY MAIN AND
MISC. IMPROVEMENTS AS POSSIBLE USING
CURRENT EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY
• EXPLORE OTHER OPTIONS TO HAVE IMAGES
PROFESSIONALLY GATHERED-WITHIN BUDGET
• EXPLORE OTHER OPTIONS TO GATHER IMAGES
OURSELVES-WITHIN BUDGET
• EASILY RETRIEVE AND ACCESS IMAGESWITHIN BUDGET
FIELD APPRAISERS & PICTURES
OPINIONS ON HAVING PICTURES
OPINIONS ON NEW TECHNOLOGY
PICTURES FOR APPRAISING-WHY?
Street View Images Help on Appeals and Revals
NOT SO BAD
A GOOD FRONTAL PICTURE TELL US A LOT….
QUAINT FRONT LIVING ROOM
EVEN THOUGH SOMETIMES WE MAY NEED A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION…
PET FRIENDLY KITCHEN
SOMETIMES WE MAY GET TOO MUCH INFORMATION!
IAAO & PICTURES
The next 3 slides are excerpts from the IAAO Standard
on Mass Appraisal of Real Property
• 3.3.5 Alternative to Periodic On-Site
Inspections
• • Current high-resolution street-view images
(at a sub-inch pixel resolution that enables
quality grade and physical condition to be
verified)
IAAO & PICTURES
• 3.3.5 Alternative to Periodic On-Site
Inspections
• • Orthophoto images (minimum 6” pixel
resolution in urban/suburban and 12”
resolution in rural areas, updated every 2
years in rapid growth areas, or 6–10 years in
slow growth areas).
IAAO & PICTURES
• 3.3.5 Alternative to Periodic On-Site
Inspections
• • Low level oblique images capable of being
used for measurement verification (four
cardinal directions, minimum 6” pixel
resolution in urban/ suburban and 12” pixel
resolution in rural areas, updated every 2
years in rapid growth areas or, 6–10 years in
slow growth areas).
IF
YOU HAVE UNLIMITED BUDGET AND
MANPOWER-HOORAH!!!!!! NO PROBLEMS!!!!!!
BUT IF
WHAT
YOU DON’T?
FIELD APPRAISERS & PICTURES
• EASY TO USE IN FIELD
• EASY TO SYNC IN OFFICE
• EASY TO RETRIEVE
• TIME IS ALWAYS MONEY
• FUTURE TECHNOLOGY?
IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS
FLOPPIES-(NOT BUNNIES)
• POLAROIDS ANYONE?
• ORIGINAL SONY CAMERA SAVED 12 IMAGES
DIRECTLY ON A 3.5 FLOPPIE DISK
• ONE APPRAISER USED PERSONAL 35MM
• I HAVE SEEN DRAWINGS…
• GOOGLE-BING STREET VIEW-BETTER THAN
NUTHIN’
TECH MARCHES ON
• NEXT CAME DIGITAL CAMERAS AND SD CARDS
• IMAGES SAVED INTO FOLDERS ON COMMON
SERVER-WE STARTED HAVING SOME STORAGE
SPACE ISSUES
• LATER ON THE “KINDA LIKE THE CLOUD”STORAGE PROBLEM SOLVED
• NOW EXPERIMENTING WITH GPS DIGITAL
CAMERA AND GEOTAGGED IMAGES
DISPLAYED WITH GIS
HARDWARE & PICTURES
HOW’S YOUR MEMORY?
MINE AIN’T SO GOOD ANYMORE-
• Can my computer process the images?
• Can my Servers handle the storage? We have
“KINDA LIKE THE CLOUD”
• IT assures me no problem – TERABYTES of
storage-TRUST US!
• Who or What is backing up my images? Our
images and computers are backed up by IT
and multiple servers (SAN)STORAGE AREA NETWORK
SOFTWARE & PICTURES
• IF I CAPTURE MYSELF….
• Can I find and display the images quickly?
• How hard is it to download and manage the
images?
• Does my CAMA handle images?
• How will this be used with future technology?
• Geotagged vs. non-geotagged
GEOSPATIAL & PICTURES

WE PURCHASED SOFTWARE TO START A GIS LAYER
EASE OF USE IMPORTANT
CAMERA MUST BE ABLE TO RECEIVE SIGNAL
WORKING TO RESOLVE WHO CAN VIEW
OVERWRITES ENTIRE FILE ON UPLOAD
CREATES UNNECESSARY MAPS
ANDROID GEOTAGGED PICTURE WORKS-APPs
OFFERED!
• IN SUBDIVISIONS 300-400 IMAGES CAN BE
CAPTURED IN A DAY
ESRI SHAPEFILE- PhotoLink
ESRI SHAPEFILE- PhotoLink
GPS CAMERAS & PICTURES-WHY?
ESRI & PICTURES

•
ESRI CAN LINK TO PICTURES
ESRI RULES GIS IN MOST COUNTIES
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE USUALLY NEEDED
ArcPhoto APPLICATION BEING EXPLORED BY OUR GIS
DEPARTMENT- SO FAR CONSULTANT IS CONFIDENT
WE CAN USE OUR GEOTAGGED PICTURES
• WE CONTINUE TO TAKE GEOTAGGED PICTURES IN
PREPARATION OF ASSEMBLING A GEODATABASE-THIS
TO BE LINKED TO PICTOMETRY
PICTOMETRY & PICTURES
• WE ARE GETTING OBLIQUES IN 2013
• PICTOMETRY CAN LINK TO A POINT-SHAPE
FILE WITH EMBEDDED GEOTAGGED PHOTOS
• ALLOWS VIEWING IMAGES FROM THEIR EFS
DESK AND ONLINE VIEWER
• EXPLORING THE ArcPhoto TO CREATE THIS
SHAPEFILE-CONSULTANT FEELS CONFIDENT
WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK
PROFESSIONAL STREETVIEW
IMAGES
• FANTASTIC BUT CAN BE EXPENSIVE
• SOME COMPANIES HAVE INACCURATE
CAPTURE AND LINKING
• DENSER POPULATED-LESS $ PER PARCEL
• RURAL AREAS NOT AS GOOD COVERAGE
