What is the advantage of Pictometry?
Pictometry offers an advantage compared to traditional overhead photography or even satellite and GPS mapping. First, Pictometry captures oblique images so more relevant detail is captured, enabling users to see more and recognize buildings, structures etc. Pictometry also uses a process which captures every square foot of an area in high resolution detail, from both orthogonal and oblique angles, giving Pictometry’s images something traditional aerial images or even satellite and GPS mapping can’t provide: a detailed oblique view of any feature. The locational data associated with each pixel makes it possible for users to measure numerous geographic details such as distance, height, latitude/longitude coordinates, directional bearing and relative positioning. Deployment options also make Pictometry’s software available to multiple users so more people can access relevant information from the convenience of a desktop computer or via remote wireless internet access.
