First Base Solutions / Teranet When Parcel meets Ortho … Ben-Hur Abucay - FBS Timothy Hu – Program Manager - Teranet

GEOSPATIAL PERSONAL AD About Me Name: Parcel Fabric Status: Single – but can be split and consolidated. Very structured but can change on you at the drop of a dime. Descripton: Slim outline with distinct identifier. Not very attractive by itself but has a lot of internal qualities that are not shown in the map. Looking For: Possible relationship with other data to complement slim figure. Easily found using address / name based searching.

` GEOSPATIAL PERSONAL AD About Me Name: Ortho Image Status: Single – Requires a lot of time and preparation to get ready. Not a cheap date! Descripton: Very attractive full colour image – with WOW factor. Provides a lot of context but is not easily found without relationship with other data. Looking For: Relationship with other data to ‘find myself’. Looking for new markets to show off my ’20cm’ resolution!

When Parcel meets Ortho … Relationship Build Need to find users Need to have application Need to maintain autonomy Need to maintain image of ‘togetherness’ but really live separate lives.

Agenda GeoWarehouse Online Overview Application Integration? Managing the Partnership Ortho Image – Technology Update

Web application ( Provides access to Ownership information to over 4 million properties in POLARIS. Title Data contained in the GeoWarehouse database is updated every 10 business days Map Data is updated daily Currently – 40,000 registered users Demo:

How it Works HTTP request Security Time User Information PIN

Benefits of this approach Simple – HTTP request We use the PIN as the common link to pass back and forth between applications Applications and Data are separate Less need to coordinate upgrades/ changes to applications User’s don’t know it is a different website / server

Lessons Learned Integration – applications should not be reliant on other side being available. All applications change – try to put together an environment which upgrades can be done independently Introduction of new content to the ‘spatially challenged’ should use the KISS principle Always remember the target audience Nothing beats having ‘good people’ to work with

The Results – Win-Win-Win

Summary & Keys to Success Fair distribution of risk, responsibility and reward Solve the business issues then write the legal agreements with good lawyers Ensure all parties have necessary resources to work toward the goals Be sensitive to differing agendas Develop win-win solutions Maintain good governance through open communications

The Results – Win-Win-Win First Base Solutions Utilize GeoWarehouse functionality to locate – (Address / Owner Name) Access to new user base resulting in new revenues No need to establish market presence – it already existed Teranet Extended service offering to users Interactive Map Viewer with Ortho imagery Additional subscription revenue GeoWarehouse Users Access to aerial imagery integrated with sales and parcel data Ability to navigate between maps and ownership information Ability to purchase imagery and parcel

Syntopic Imaging Why there is only one perspective center for all sub-images

Synchronous Exposure would create geometric problems 8 cm 24 cm

Syntopic Imaging: Utilizes airplane motion to expose the four camera cones at identical positions in space (“Syntopic” exposure) ~ 1 msec

Time t1 (t1 + 0 msec) Start Exposure Cone 1

Time t2 (t1 + 1 msec) Plane has moved 8cm Start Exposure Cone 2

Time t3 (t1 + 2 msec) Plane has moved 8 more cm Start Exposure Cone 3

Time t4 (t1 + 3 msec) Plane has again moved 8 cm Start Exposure Cone 4

Full Frame T1 + 3 msec Cones

Pixel Correlation Better Matching Better Classification More Redundancy Correlation is 2x better than with film
