  3. There is more than Yellow boxes

  4. There is more than Smartphones http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/mobilecentral/archive/2011/03/29/Data-Collection-Playground-and-ArcGIS-on-Smartphones.aspx

  5. Ask where is a camera being used and should it be a GPS camera

  6. Cameras go from recording the location, recording the direction to recording the data (GIS Camera) Attributes Direction Location

  7. Accuracy

  8. Range of Accuracy 2-5 meters 5 - 10 meters

  9. Range of Acccuracy 10 – 25 meters

  10. Camera versus Phone

  11. GPS Cameras • Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10 • Sony DSC-HX5V • Compact CameraCasio • Sony Alpha 55V & 77 (DSLR)

  12. Think Beyond the GIS Tech Field Staff GPS Staff

  13. Reaching Beyond the Comfort Zone Core (federal) Public Administration (CPA) • Knowledge-based: These include: physicists; mathematicians; chemists; civil and mechanical engineers; biochemists; agriculturalists; ecologists; analysts; programmers; economists; accountants; lawyers, and artists. • Less knowledge-based: technical, operational and administrative support categories. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/11-621-m/11-621-m2007053-eng.htm

  14. Here are users of GIS Cameras

  15. How are GPS cameras being being used Tourism (Touristic Sights, Landscapes & Impressions, Hotels & Restaurants, Route Documentation, Signs,Touristic Offers...) Real Estate (Outside Views, Location,Surrounding, Highway Connection...) Traffic (Signs, Road Construction Site Inventory, Hazards,Accidents, Road Damages...) Environment Management (Environmental Inventories, Biodviersity Mapping, Tree Register, Status Quo Documentation...) Regulatory Agency(Graffiti, Vandalism...) Disaster Management (Status Quo, Road Ways to approach, Resources,Potential Threat...)

  16. Photograph on GPS

  17. What did it look like?

  18. Reality Scenario • Photographs and attribute data are acquired at project sites by field personnel whose acquisition time is often limited by deadlines, daylight, distance, disaster, etc.

  19. Project Requirements? • Accuracy • Camera – around 6 meters • Bluetooth to Trimble, Sokkia… • Post Processing Photographs and attributes • Reports • PDF, Excel, Word, HTML • GIS Formats • Shapefile, Geodatabase (File), Google • Editing attributes outside of ArcGIS

  20. Example Solution • Attributed GPS Camera with post processing of attributes

  21. Data for all Using GeoCollaboration, entities can eliminate technology boundaries, allowing for access and input to leverage agencies’ existing investments in spatial data. 23

  22. Camera Field Collection Uses: • Military Solutions • Engineering and Survey • Disaster Readiness and Recovery • Graffiti • Vector Control (Mosquito) • Natural Sciences

  23. A picture is worth a thousand words Phone Cameras Always available Not necessarily designed for field work Reduced Image Quality May lack detail to make critical decisions Slow shutter response times blurs images Poor color and white balance accuracy 14 MP images All-glass optical zoom and telephoto options Superior detail and distant and close-up objects Rapid shutter responses for crisp clear images Full frame high-quality video recording

  24. Why • After we are dead and gone the field data (especially the photographs) will live on as a historical record of how smart we were.

  25. Inside the box Trimble Juno SC 3.5G cellular modem Feature packed, fully integrated solution 3 megapixel camera High-sensitivity GPS receiver Long life battery for all-day use Lightweight and compact Juniper Systems Mesa Wi-Fi & Bluetooth wireless 3.2MP Camera GPS & 3G GSM Modem (AT&T)

  26. Man Follows GPS ... to the Edge of a Cliff Drove on a trail at night until a fence at the top of the cliff stopped him Fireman says he drove it up a glorified goat trail. Had to helicopter the vehicle out

  27. Process

  28. Datalogger – List Builder Logger • Simple List Builder • Excel (cut & paste)

  29. GIS Photography • Photograph • Data Logger • Spatial (GPS) • Compass Direction‏ Photo x,y GIS Photography

  30. Methods of Transferring • Data Manager software • There can be issues over time about the naming procedures for project photographs. Use data management software to create folders and photo Transfer

  31. Edit Images GPS Photo-Link Post Production

  32. Attribute Editing GPS Photo-Link Post Production

  33. Wind Image Post Production

  34. iPhone / iPad GeoJot

  35. Geodatabase Raster Column Geodatabase

  36. Create a PDF Report

  37. Raster Column in ArcGIS

  38. Casio • Casio's Hybrid GPS system combines GPS with autonomic positioning, which is made possible by an internal motion sensor.

  39. Sony • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V 16.2 MP Digital Camera GPS, 3D Sweep Panorama technology and Street Map View Mode

  40. Samsung • Samsung Digital Camera WB650. –GPS & Geo-tagging – Map View Mode – 3” VGA AMOLED Screen – Full Manual Control

  41. Rules of the Road • One mobile solution does not fit all • Go out in the field – see & breathe • Test the solution – drill baby drill • Post-processing by users • Path to the main Geodatabase • Train all to access datasets • Have user meetings to review data
