The document discusses St. Albert's aerial imaging strategy and use of Pictometry. It provides background on St. Albert and the evolution of its imagery collection over time. Pictometry imagery has become an important tool for many city staff since its introduction in 2012-2014, providing 3D views unavailable from other sources. Key users include Assessment, Recreation, Public Works, Engineering, and Fire Services. Example uses highlighted are property assessment, examining encroachments, bus stop reviews, park infrastructure planning, and fire pre-planning. The city sees continued value in Pictometry as a vital part of its imaging strategy.

I Spy With My Little Eye An Aerial Imaging Strategy for St. Albert Tammy Kobliuk City of St. Albert
Pictometry and St. Albert A little about us How our imagery has evolved Where Pictometry fits into the picture Building the business case Our current status A window into how it is being used
A Little About St. Albert Capital Region beside Edmonton Approximately 61,000 residents Approximately 50 sq.km. (small) Primarily urban residential (yuppies) High service delivery expectations (you have no idea) High taxes (so were told over and over again) Gods country (even the magazines say so!) The Botanical Arts City
Our Imagery Evolution Hardcopy 9x9s Black and white scanned photos 25 cm black and white digital orthophotos 10 cm colour digital orthophotos LiDAR DEM and Surface Model Pictometry (partial coverage and level) Pictometry (completion and in-fill) Pictometry (complete coverage) 1990s and earlier 1990s 2000s 2007 2010 2012 2013 2014
Where Pictometry Fits We see it as a vital part of our imaging strategy In a very short time it has become very important to a lot of staff We automatically assess new staff for their need of it
How It Looks Now Capital Region (ERJOI) Every two years Pictometry Every two years Offset from ERJOI LiDAR Every five years
Building the Business Case Provides a digital view unavailable from other sources. Increases the ability to do work from the desktop. Decreases the need for field visits. Provides a detailed daytime view for night time work (e.g. emergencies) Cost effective compared to regular photography. Cost effective to roll out to users. Access to other client image libraries.
Return on Investment No visible budget decrease Increases the efficiency of existing staff Provides a more complete information picture to capture better data Provides a more complete information picture to make better decisions Cloud software has minimal impact on required IT resources
Pictometry and LiDAR Pictometry is 3D aware DEM used to embed Z information into each pixel Quality of source Z information affects: Quality of reference points Embedded pixel elevations Image registration Which in turn affects: All measurements Elevation contour generation GIS data overlay accuracy
Our Current Status 7.5 cm resolution We now have full coverage at all levels Urban area 2012 coverage Rural area 2013 coverage Active construction areas 2012 and 2013 103 active POL users Users in almost every department OUR MOST POPULAR GIS APPLICATION
Deployment Currently Pictometry Online Only two ArcGIS extension users iPad mobile application Planned: Smartphone mobile application Planned: Geocortex Essentials integration
Pictometry Online Viva la cloud! 100 concurrent user level 500 named users A number of GIS layers loaded We take the lead from our users 95% of users are required to take training Little requirement for technical support
Pictometry Online Turn-key Easy to use Easy administration Can be a bit flakey Clunky as far as GIS goes Cool that we can see Edmonton Manual upload of shapefiles or KML Needs work on cartographic capabilities Needs work on reporting Future: SDE data connections
Our Biggest Users? Assessment Recreation Public Works Engineering Development Fire Services Municipal Enforcement
Use Case: Property Assessment Checking property conditions against real property reports Checking for additions Checking measurements Pre-visit preparation
Use Case: Examining Encroachments See details of park encroach- ments
Use Case: Bus Stop Review Need to check every bus stop in the city What does the location look like? What infrastructure is there? Ground conditions? What infrastructure? Cost planning Making measurements
Use Case: Park Infrastructure Where is the infrastructure? What type is it? How does this match to our non-spatial information?
Use Case: Fire Pre-Planning General property layout Structure shape and size Structure materials Building/property entry points Access barriers Fire infrastructure locations Roof layout Vents Access points
Use Case: Landscape Change
