  1. Embedding Digital Images in a File Geodatabase A Case Study from Cedar Breaks National Monument, Utah Cynthia Wanschura GIS Technician Elena Robisch GIS Program Manager Zion National Park, Utah

  2. Cedar Breaks National Monument, Utah • The highest point = 10,662 feet • Giant amphitheater, spans some three miles and is more than 2,000 feet deep • Due to heavy snowfall the boundary fence is removed each winter Photo from http:\\www.nps.gov\cebr Photo by Lee Rademaker

  3. The Project • Peg Simons, Volunteer In Park: • GPS’ed the fence line • GPS’ed & photo-documented potential problem areas • Integration of digital photos with GPS points

  4. Link Photos with Table Records

  5. Why did we choose the method of embedding photos in a geodatabase? • No addition software or extensions required, easy sharing • Provided with data, we were not part of the field process • One Image per Point • Option of managing by the geodatabase Photo by Paula Hamilton

  6. Creating the Raster Field Left-click

  8. Decision Time…Managed vs. Not Managed

  9. Managed by the Geodatabase: Sounds Good, Right? • Benefits: • No further need for image management • Automatically moves photos with spatial data • Downsides: • Unstable • Large file size • Always providing photos with the spatial data • Recommendation: Do not have the geodatabase manage the photos.
