TAGGING REAL PROPERTY PHOTOS TO YOUR GIS

BUILDING A PROJECT THAT WORKS-NOW AND IN THE FUTURE-WITH A LIMITED BUDGET

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 IMAGES-WITHIN BUDGET

FIELD APPRAISERS & PICTURESOPINIONS ON HAVING PICTURES OPINIONS ON NEW TECHNOLOGY

PICTURES FOR APPRAISING-WHY? Street View Images Help on Appeals and Revals

NOT SO BADA GOOD FRONTAL PICTURE TELL US A LOT….

QUAINT FRONT LIVING ROOMEVEN THOUGH SOMETIMES WE MAY NEED A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION…

PET FRIENDLY KITCHENSOMETIMES WE MAY GET TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

IAAO & PICTURESThe 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 WHAT IF 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 & PICTURESHOW’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• APPRAISERS CAN RIDE ALONG IN SOME

INSTANCES

PRICE AND PICTURES-PICK ONE• $2.00-$5.00 = INITIAL PURCHASE OF HEADACHE POWDERS AND

ANTACIDS(GENERIC) YOU WILL NEED THESE.• $49.95-?= 1 DIGITAL CAMERA• $100.00? TO ????- GPS CAMERAS (INCLUDES SMARTPHONES)• $550 = GPS CAMERA AND GEOSPATIAL PHOTO-LINK SOFTWARE

GOOGLE/ESRI COMPATIBLE• $99.00 EACH PLUS ABOVE FOR GEO JOT SMARTPHONE APP• $1300 EACH= ARCMAP SOFTWARE LICENSE PER COMPUTER• $5000 = GEOSPATIAL VIEWING ON ARCREADER• $142,000-$250,000 = PROFESSIONALLY PROVIDED IMAGES FOR

52,760 PARCELS, 39,000 DWELLINGS/MAIN IMPROVEMENTS • $PRICELESS$- SATISFIED TAX ADMINISTRATOR, COUNTY MANAGER

AND BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

DO YOU DO PICTURES?• 13 COUNTIES RESPONDED TO P-TAX REQUEST• 5 PROFESSIONALLY CAPTURED STREETVIEW

IMAGES• MOST TAKE THEIR OWN WHEN THEY VISIT

PROPERTY• APPEALS,COMPS MOST POPULAR USE• SOME LINK TO CAMA• SOME FOLDERS AND SERVERS• SOME PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE

OUR FUTURE & PICTURES?

• SMART PHONES • IPAD AND TABLET --GIS, PROPERTY CARDS,

REMOTE FIELD DATA ENTRY• AUTO DOWNLOADS• EXPLORING MOBILE 311 SMARTPHONE

APPLICATIONS & HYPERLINKING• APPLICATIONS EXTENDING OUTSIDE TAX

OFFICE TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS

CURRENT 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 IMAGES-WITHIN BUDGET

• INCREASE BUDGET!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION!

NOW-THE REST OF THE STORY

While we are still a work in progress-Guilford County has a good

working system in place.
