11. ChangeFinder & Connect Assessment

12. Change Finder
• Issues with Permits?
• Comparison of two sets
of data: Orthos and
Building Outlines
• Proven ROI
• Over 400 projects in US
& Canada
• Over 25 Million parcels
processed
• Benefits outside of
Assessment

13. ChangeFinder
Steps in the Process
1. Building Outline Creation (BOC)
2. Change Detection (CD)

14. Building Outline Creation
1. Type: BOC
Latest imagery Building outline

15. Change Detection
Latest imagery
Building outline
Base imagery
Updated
Building outline
Example: Outlines are compared to
historical imagery to update the outline file

16. Deliverable Products
Primary deliverable is a Geodatabase or Shapefile
of Building outlines
Attributes of the deliverable include…
• Parcel ID
• X,Y coordinate of center of building polygon
• Change Detection Classification – Existing,
Changed, Destroyed, New, Possibly Changed

17. Deliverables
Regional Status Report
• statistical results for the regions defined by the
customer (e.g. townships, wards).
Lengths of the Sides
• DBF table that lists lengths of the sides of the
buildings is provided
Percentage of Change
• Added columns to Building Outline DBF for
“Orig_Area” and “ChangeRate”

18. New Change Finder Processing

19. Change Finder

20. Connect Assessment
The What is it…
• Web Based (Explorer) Change Finder Application
• (Change Finder is the capability to compare two sets of Ortho Imagery to
detect property Changes)
• Allows for end-user’s to have better workflow for reviewing Change Finder
Deliverables and tracking ROI
• Proven ROI assists in the justification of Imagery Contracts

21. Connect Assessment
The What does it do (How does it work?)…
Intended to marry together:
• Project management, tracking and ROI reporting of
the spreadsheet workflow
• Step through analysis capability of Change Analysis
viewer
• Ease of use, deployment and accessibility of
Pictometry Connect

22. CAMA+SKETCH+ORTHO+OBLIQUE+STREETLEVEL

23. GIS Applications
• GIS department is provided new building outline
dataset
• Analysis dataset/new building outlines
• Length of sides line dataset
• Points on decks
• Use in addressing applications, emergency
response, MS4 mapping applications

24. GIS Application Discussion

33. Early Access

34. Early Access
We delivery Imagery within 30 days of the last plane landing…..
But now there us a Early Access!
The What does it do/What is it
• Within two weeks of the start of a contracted Oblique
imagery project, customer will have access to new imagery
Capture.
• Posted to a distinct Pictometry Connect Account (Web based)
designated as Early Access.
• As flights are completed within the contracted area and as the
imagery is processed it will be posted incrementally.

35. Early Access

36. Early Access
The What problem does it solve…
• Jurisdictions are no longer required to wait to begin
utilizing latest imagery to ensure that properties are
Fair and Equitably assessed (valued)
• Tax Rolls are set at different times of the year so
having earlier access allows end-user to pace
workload
• In the event of a jurisdiction wide reassessment or
revaluation deadline, allows work to commence/be
completed sooner with better QA/QC

37. Success through Partnerships
