Introducing Pictometry — a revolutionary, value-added information system that complements your existing GIS. Unlike traditional aerial or satellite imagery, Pictometry primarily provides high-resolution, geo-registered digital oblique images in addition to orthogonal images. For Police, Fire, E9-1-1, and Planning department users, oblique imagery takes the complexity out of traditional mapping systems and photography by presenting visual information in a more familiar and useful way. With only minutes of training users can view and analyze any building, house, intersection, fire hydrant, manhole, or other feature in their jurisdiction.

Pictometry's interactive tool set lets you measure distances, heights, and areas of buildings and properties in each image. Integrated with GIS, Pictometry provides a powerful system where users can view specific community areas from as many as 12 different angles with GIS value-added layers. By sharing this vital information with other agencies, GIS departments become an even more vital resource for public safety and planning organizations.

• Read and/or create GIS data from Pictometry (an ESRI Developer Business Partner)

• Update and integrate with other third-party maps, imagery, GIS systems,
and software packages

• Overlay shapefiles and geo-referenced data directly over all images (including obliques)

• Attach an unlimited amount of raster or vector data to Pictometry images

• Measure the length, width, and height of any feature in an image

• Annotate images with text, lines, circles, etc., for powerful presentations and distribution

• Click on any feature in an image to get its geo-coordinates and/or elevation

• Determine the bearing of a road and angles of intersecting roads or physical features

• Automatically calculate perimeter, acreage, or square footage of any area or building

• Create/distribute sub-libraries of images for jurisdictional or geographical specialty use
