mapping Visualization Value


Real estates and town planner are using boundaries and/or cadastral maps to present an area. The area map gives sufficient information about shape and size of the area as well as in relation to line and point of interest but do not gives enough information about the existing property situation for decision making.
A site visit for inspection is normally required for clarification and decision making. We can use Google maps to get the satellite view of the interest area. Google gives limited resolution and out dated imagery. Thus other options are to order new satellite images of the interest area or hiring an aircraft for aerial photography, which are time consuming and costly. Considering the image need to be ready for decision making in a day or two.
Above is sample of plotted map area and on the right is the one with high res aerial imagery. The possibility to manipulate images for various application are endless.
