00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:15.460 A:middle L:90%
our last speakers are are bookending keynotes

2
00:00:15.460 --> 00:00:19.329 A:middle L:90%
Dr. John Scrivani, who has a masters in forestry from Clemson

3
00:00:19.329 --> 00:00:21.760 A:middle L:90%
, a PhD in forest management from Oregon State, among

4
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:23.890 A:middle L:90%
other degrees, which we are not going to list

5
00:00:23.899 --> 00:00:30.030 A:middle L:90%
um and is currently with Virginia Geographic Information Network.

6
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.850 A:middle L:90%
His current job is the geospatial project Manager for VGIN

7
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:38.840 A:middle L:90%
and his responsibilities involved managing multiple geospatial projects for state

8
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.530 A:middle L:90%
agencies, local government and the private sector. So

9
00:00:42.539 --> 00:00:45.509 A:middle L:90%
um our second keynote for today, um we're really

10
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.280 A:middle L:90%
pleased to have him with us. A lot of

11
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:50.340 A:middle L:90%
us have been working with him for many, many

12
00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:54.960 A:middle L:90%
years. And so what thank you randi. Um

13
00:00:55.539 --> 00:00:58.320 A:middle L:90%
It took me a minute to find uh the presentation

14
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.960 A:middle L:90%
named Otis, which they all were on the desktop

15
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.180 A:middle L:90%
. So but yeah, so I'd like to move

16
00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:08.420 A:middle L:90%
from the research world to uh kind of the uh

17
00:01:08.430 --> 00:01:11.900 A:middle L:90%
more production world and talk to you about one of

18
00:01:11.909 --> 00:01:15.760 A:middle L:90%
our projects at the Virginia Geographic Information Network, which

19
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.109 A:middle L:90%
is a great example of some of the things we

20
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.079 A:middle L:90%
do and like to do, partly because it was

21
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.260 A:middle L:90%
a very collaborative effort between really if you look at

22
00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:27.189 A:middle L:90%
the data and serving the data to the end.

23
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:32.180 A:middle L:90%
Uh It's there's plenty of partners from federal agencies,

24
00:01:32.189 --> 00:01:36.310 A:middle L:90%
second world governments, even some nonprofits uh to uh

25
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:38.189 A:middle L:90%
to universities particularly Virginia Tech, which has been really

26
00:01:38.189 --> 00:01:44.500 A:middle L:90%
instrumental in getting this uh project moving. So let's

27
00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:49.129 A:middle L:90%
see. So uh tell you a little bit about

28
00:01:49.129 --> 00:01:53.939 A:middle L:90%
Megyn. The Virginia Geographic Information Network was established in

29
00:01:53.939 --> 00:01:57.609 A:middle L:90%
Virginia Code in 1919 97. Uh uh It was

30
00:01:57.609 --> 00:02:01.900 A:middle L:90%
tasked to foster the creative utilization of geographic information and

31
00:02:01.900 --> 00:02:06.219 A:middle L:90%
oversee the development of a catalogue of GSS data available

32
00:02:06.230 --> 00:02:08.879 A:middle L:90%
in the commonwealth. Um We have some authorities to

33
00:02:08.889 --> 00:02:14.789 A:middle L:90%
to establish standards and guidelines. Uh One of our

34
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.330 A:middle L:90%
main objectives is to develop a base map layers,

35
00:02:17.340 --> 00:02:23.389 A:middle L:90%
so some core spatial data infrastructure for all of Virginia

36
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.819 A:middle L:90%
, things like Ortho imagery, road center lines and

37
00:02:25.830 --> 00:02:31.840 A:middle L:90%
addressing um elevation and could astral or parcel tax parcel

38
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.199 A:middle L:90%
or land ownership data. Uh We've also moved in

39
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.159 A:middle L:90%
the in the last several years to providing services,

40
00:02:39.169 --> 00:02:45.039 A:middle L:90%
uh geographic information as as web services. And uh

41
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:49.800 A:middle L:90%
in the last year or so we've also uh established

42
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.990 A:middle L:90%
the G. I. S. Clearinghouse which I

43
00:02:51.990 --> 00:02:53.520 A:middle L:90%
encourage you to go look at a lot of our

44
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.360 A:middle L:90%
data and other people other people's data are either registered

45
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.139 A:middle L:90%
, there are available for uh use either on RTs

46
00:03:00.139 --> 00:03:05.800 A:middle L:90%
online or for download or connection to other uh software

47
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.189 A:middle L:90%
web applications. And then lastly I just mentioned a

48
00:03:08.189 --> 00:03:13.180 A:middle L:90%
little bit about our garden initiative which is um is

49
00:03:13.180 --> 00:03:16.180 A:middle L:90%
our initiative to collaborate with universities and Virginia tech has

50
00:03:16.180 --> 00:03:20.620 A:middle L:90%
been a leader in this area to help provides some

51
00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:24.550 A:middle L:90%
redundancies an extension of our services uh to uh the

52
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.909 A:middle L:90%
first to the university community, but also to the

53
00:03:27.909 --> 00:03:34.840 A:middle L:90%
general public. So this so uh particular thing I

54
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.870 A:middle L:90%
want to talk about is the digital surface model that

55
00:03:37.870 --> 00:03:40.750 A:middle L:90%
we're working to provide a statewide digital surface model and

56
00:03:40.750 --> 00:03:45.310 A:middle L:90%
just a couple of definitions uh digital at least of

57
00:03:45.310 --> 00:03:46.689 A:middle L:90%
the way I use them. A digital elevation model

58
00:03:46.699 --> 00:03:51.180 A:middle L:90%
. Uh would be a a digital model of the

59
00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:54.289 A:middle L:90%
ground surface topography. Uh Digital surface model is elevation

60
00:03:54.289 --> 00:03:58.710 A:middle L:90%
of all features including the ground and anything on the

61
00:03:58.710 --> 00:04:01.449 A:middle L:90%
ground including buildings, trees, um utilities, whatever

62
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.219 A:middle L:90%
. Uh This is an example of a digital surface

63
00:04:06.219 --> 00:04:10.750 A:middle L:90%
model for an area you'll probably recognize. Uh So

64
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.569 A:middle L:90%
this was developed from um lidar data that was collected

65
00:04:14.580 --> 00:04:18.459 A:middle L:90%
uh through um um through the Virginia V. Gin

66
00:04:18.470 --> 00:04:23.129 A:middle L:90%
, through a contract we had with sanborn Map Company

67
00:04:23.129 --> 00:04:26.740 A:middle L:90%
. And uh and the town of Blacksburg paid for

68
00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:29.680 A:middle L:90%
it. We we managed a product and did the

69
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.819 A:middle L:90%
quality control and and produce this product or deliver this

70
00:04:32.819 --> 00:04:35.470 A:middle L:90%
product to the town of Blacksburg. So uh this

71
00:04:35.470 --> 00:04:41.199 A:middle L:90%
was about one metre uh nominal point spacing in the

72
00:04:41.209 --> 00:04:44.050 A:middle L:90%
uh light our data collection and you can see it

73
00:04:44.060 --> 00:04:46.259 A:middle L:90%
. It's got very accurate detail of the lane,

74
00:04:46.259 --> 00:04:50.689 A:middle L:90%
stadium, stadium woods, you know, castle calcium

75
00:04:50.689 --> 00:04:54.930 A:middle L:90%
D uh in the cars in the parking lot and

76
00:04:54.930 --> 00:05:00.699 A:middle L:90%
shrubs and other things all all about. So our

77
00:05:00.709 --> 00:05:02.689 A:middle L:90%
project for the digital surface model was to develop a

78
00:05:02.689 --> 00:05:06.069 A:middle L:90%
digital surface model for the entire area of the commonwealth

79
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:11.509 A:middle L:90%
from the best most recent and uh obviously available data

80
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.569 A:middle L:90%
. And then to serve this digital surface model out

81
00:05:14.569 --> 00:05:17.170 A:middle L:90%
as a publicly available elevation web service suitable for both

82
00:05:17.170 --> 00:05:21.649 A:middle L:90%
visualization and analysis. And then we, one of

83
00:05:21.649 --> 00:05:26.269 A:middle L:90%
the immediate objectives of our project was to have this

84
00:05:26.269 --> 00:05:27.579 A:middle L:90%
D. S. M. Data served out so

85
00:05:27.579 --> 00:05:30.980 A:middle L:90%
we could utilize it in a application we've recently developed

86
00:05:30.980 --> 00:05:32.120 A:middle L:90%
in cooperation with C. I. T. And

87
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.139 A:middle L:90%
and Virginia Tech, which is the Virginia three D

88
00:05:35.139 --> 00:05:39.639 A:middle L:90%
broadband viewer which is hosted here by Enterprise G.

89
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:41.620 A:middle L:90%
I. S. So we've had a lot of

90
00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:45.470 A:middle L:90%
people involved in this. Uh We're VJ and obviously

91
00:05:45.470 --> 00:05:46.740 A:middle L:90%
Virginia Tech, both C G I. T.

92
00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:48.490 A:middle L:90%
And Enterprise G. I. S have been involved

93
00:05:48.490 --> 00:05:51.209 A:middle L:90%
in this. Um And then the light our data

94
00:05:51.220 --> 00:05:55.589 A:middle L:90%
that has been used in collect building this digital service

95
00:05:55.589 --> 00:05:58.370 A:middle L:90%
model came from a lot of different projects funded by

96
00:05:58.370 --> 00:06:00.579 A:middle L:90%
and managed by a lot of different people. A

97
00:06:00.579 --> 00:06:01.939 A:middle L:90%
lot of it's from USGS and they're in their in

98
00:06:01.939 --> 00:06:05.110 A:middle L:90%
their national three D. Elevation program. Uh Some

99
00:06:05.110 --> 00:06:09.879 A:middle L:90%
of its from National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, fema and

100
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:14.050 A:middle L:90%
RCs have also funded a good bit uh Department of

101
00:06:14.050 --> 00:06:16.649 A:middle L:90%
mines, mineral energy, some some local government collections

102
00:06:16.660 --> 00:06:20.689 A:middle L:90%
. Um And then uh some of the um some

103
00:06:20.689 --> 00:06:25.230 A:middle L:90%
of the broadband grant which was administered by C.

104
00:06:25.230 --> 00:06:29.000 A:middle L:90%
I. T. Was used to process the uh

105
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:30.230 A:middle L:90%
oh photo imagery which I'll talk about. So where

106
00:06:30.230 --> 00:06:35.959 A:middle L:90%
we have uh No I guess I'll talk about that

107
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.610 A:middle L:90%
now. We got that slide. So where we

108
00:06:39.610 --> 00:06:41.629 A:middle L:90%
uh the best available data is the lighter where we

109
00:06:41.629 --> 00:06:43.339 A:middle L:90%
have it but we only have a lighter. I'll

110
00:06:43.339 --> 00:06:45.079 A:middle L:90%
have some maps here in second. We only have

111
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:48.319 A:middle L:90%
a light are available for about 25 30 20 let's

112
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:53.290 A:middle L:90%
say right now available of the area of the Commonwealth

113
00:06:53.290 --> 00:06:56.230 A:middle L:90%
of Virginia. So where we don't have white are

114
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.920 A:middle L:90%
we went to a photograph, metric production of of

115
00:06:59.930 --> 00:07:01.970 A:middle L:90%
GSM. And so we have one of our other

116
00:07:01.970 --> 00:07:08.470 A:middle L:90%
programs is producing aerial Ortho imagery uh for the entire

117
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:12.639 A:middle L:90%
commonwealth. The most recent collections were 2011 for the

118
00:07:12.649 --> 00:07:15.279 A:middle L:90%
western half of the state, 2013 for the eastern

119
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:16.329 A:middle L:90%
half of the state. So where we don't have

120
00:07:16.329 --> 00:07:20.800 A:middle L:90%
water coverage, we used methods with the stereo imagery

121
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.350 A:middle L:90%
from those data collections to create a digital surface model

122
00:07:26.939 --> 00:07:30.180 A:middle L:90%
. So potential applications uh we could, as I

123
00:07:30.180 --> 00:07:32.449 A:middle L:90%
mentioned, the wireless broadband coverage and and our radio

124
00:07:32.449 --> 00:07:35.970 A:middle L:90%
frequency propagation models can be supported more accurate with a

125
00:07:35.980 --> 00:07:39.860 A:middle L:90%
digital service model than than a. D. M

126
00:07:39.870 --> 00:07:42.699 A:middle L:90%
. Uh And then uh one of the things I

127
00:07:42.709 --> 00:07:43.910 A:middle L:90%
. C. I. C. G. I

128
00:07:43.910 --> 00:07:45.420 A:middle L:90%
. T. Is going to be working on soon

129
00:07:45.420 --> 00:07:49.420 A:middle L:90%
as a site suitability for vineyards, solar radiation assessment

130
00:07:49.430 --> 00:07:56.379 A:middle L:90%
and transportations, uh uh safety analysis. So here

131
00:07:56.379 --> 00:08:01.029 A:middle L:90%
is the example of the uh broadband uh three D

132
00:08:01.029 --> 00:08:03.410 A:middle L:90%
. Viewer uh Seth is that live for people to

133
00:08:03.410 --> 00:08:07.339 A:middle L:90%
use now? Yeah. Okay. It only applies

134
00:08:07.339 --> 00:08:09.279 A:middle L:90%
right now to town of Blacksburg because that's the only

135
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.160 A:middle L:90%
data that's available. So, uh, here's an

136
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.470 A:middle L:90%
example of what can be done at the surface model

137
00:08:16.470 --> 00:08:20.769 A:middle L:90%
for looking at potential for solar, uh, solar

138
00:08:20.769 --> 00:08:22.589 A:middle L:90%
panels, looking at the rooftops, looking at what

139
00:08:22.589 --> 00:08:26.910 A:middle L:90%
solar radiation gets to those rooftops at different times of

140
00:08:26.910 --> 00:08:31.009 A:middle L:90%
the years. Uh So the data sources, the

141
00:08:31.009 --> 00:08:37.460 A:middle L:90%
latter data, we have The 10,000 851 sq mi

142
00:08:37.470 --> 00:08:39.250 A:middle L:90%
is the green area in here. This is the

143
00:08:39.250 --> 00:08:43.840 A:middle L:90%
data that has been collected from 2010, uh up

144
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:50.960 A:middle L:90%
to 2013 and delivered uh to uh the original project

145
00:08:50.970 --> 00:08:52.549 A:middle L:90%
sponsors, but also to Vi Gin. And just

146
00:08:52.549 --> 00:08:54.850 A:middle L:90%
in the last couple of weeks, delivered to Virginia

147
00:08:54.850 --> 00:08:58.470 A:middle L:90%
Tech to Enterprise J. S. Uh, the

148
00:08:58.470 --> 00:09:01.659 A:middle L:90%
two areas kind of impeached color are areas that uh

149
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.570 A:middle L:90%
, have been flown and should be the Virginia Beach

150
00:09:05.570 --> 00:09:09.269 A:middle L:90%
Hampton Roads area hopefully will be delivered next week or

151
00:09:09.269 --> 00:09:11.970 A:middle L:90%
two. And then, uh, the kind of

152
00:09:11.970 --> 00:09:16.539 A:middle L:90%
that Shenandoah Valley one probably a little bit later.

153
00:09:16.549 --> 00:09:22.610 A:middle L:90%
Um, we also have with weather permitting, uh

154
00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:26.480 A:middle L:90%
, have these out of, out of order Or

155
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.169 A:middle L:90%
is that so I'd gone, sorry, way out

156
00:09:30.169 --> 00:09:33.399 A:middle L:90%
of order. Um, so we have current projects

157
00:09:33.409 --> 00:09:35.929 A:middle L:90%
that are being flown right. Uh, hopefully today

158
00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:41.220 A:middle L:90%
we had, I had a report, uh,

159
00:09:41.230 --> 00:09:43.610 A:middle L:90%
yesterday's report of the day before slight. We had

160
00:09:43.610 --> 00:09:48.330 A:middle L:90%
about 40 of this area flown. So another 60

161
00:09:48.330 --> 00:09:54.529 A:middle L:90%
475 sq mi. So Just to kind of summarize

162
00:09:54.529 --> 00:09:58.940 A:middle L:90%
some of the latter projects that we've had since 2010

163
00:09:58.940 --> 00:10:01.710 A:middle L:90%
and the cost of those, uh, we,

164
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.059 A:middle L:90%
we, we got up to about, uh,

165
00:10:05.539 --> 00:10:07.450 A:middle L:90%
if we get through the 2013 and 14 flights,

166
00:10:07.450 --> 00:10:13.129 A:middle L:90%
which are 2013 data that's being delivered in 2014 flights

167
00:10:13.129 --> 00:10:15.090 A:middle L:90%
that are being flown right now, we'll get up

168
00:10:15.090 --> 00:10:18.669 A:middle L:90%
to about 18,261 square miles. Um and which would

169
00:10:18.669 --> 00:10:22.659 A:middle L:90%
be a little less. About 43% of the area

170
00:10:22.659 --> 00:10:24.870 A:middle L:90%
of Virginia. And uh costs have been, You

171
00:10:24.870 --> 00:10:28.230 A:middle L:90%
know, roughly not sure exactly on some of the

172
00:10:28.230 --> 00:10:31.059 A:middle L:90%
2014 cost yet, but roughly$6 million. So

173
00:10:31.070 --> 00:10:39.210 A:middle L:90%
another six or$7 million it's roughly$300$350 per

174
00:10:39.210 --> 00:10:46.690 A:middle L:90%
square mile. So what are is once you have

175
00:10:46.690 --> 00:10:48.940 A:middle L:90%
the water data collected, it's very easy to get

176
00:10:48.940 --> 00:10:52.159 A:middle L:90%
the digital surface model. Uh There is some classification

177
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.440 A:middle L:90%
that is necessary to eliminate noise and other anomalies in

178
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.450 A:middle L:90%
the data. But once you have that, all

179
00:10:58.450 --> 00:11:01.759 A:middle L:90%
you really needed to do is take the first returns

180
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.269 A:middle L:90%
the first thing that white our pulse hits and uh

181
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.250 A:middle L:90%
that can be uh used as your digital surface model

182
00:11:09.250 --> 00:11:11.389 A:middle L:90%
. There's several ways of analyzing that data or explain

183
00:11:11.389 --> 00:11:13.759 A:middle L:90%
that data. Uh In our Js you can vote

184
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.549 A:middle L:90%
in terrain datasets or you can rest your eyes it

185
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.750 A:middle L:90%
into a digital elevation model or a digital surface model

186
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:22.169 A:middle L:90%
. Um But you can also use the point the

187
00:11:22.179 --> 00:11:28.779 A:middle L:90%
point cloud uh files directly with things called last datasets

188
00:11:28.779 --> 00:11:30.309 A:middle L:90%
and our G. I. S. Or mosaic

189
00:11:30.309 --> 00:11:33.519 A:middle L:90%
datasets of the last files themselves. Excuse me.

190
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.830 A:middle L:90%
The last files are the public domain source uh file

191
00:11:37.830 --> 00:11:39.789 A:middle L:90%
format for storing point clouds. Or you can have

192
00:11:39.789 --> 00:11:46.000 A:middle L:90%
mosaic datasets of last datasets. So uh where we

193
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.929 A:middle L:90%
don't have uh white are uh we fill in with

194
00:11:50.940 --> 00:11:56.389 A:middle L:90%
the digital service model derived from stereo photography. So

195
00:11:56.389 --> 00:12:00.049 A:middle L:90%
we looked at a couple software options of doing that

196
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:05.850 A:middle L:90%
. Um The methods both both methods uh and use

197
00:12:05.860 --> 00:12:09.049 A:middle L:90%
auto correlation where you take the stereo pairs. And

198
00:12:09.059 --> 00:12:11.240 A:middle L:90%
there's auto automated methods for locating features and two or

199
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:16.149 A:middle L:90%
more stereo pairs and computing their elevations. Um Several

200
00:12:16.149 --> 00:12:18.909 A:middle L:90%
commercial algorithms are available. We tested to some actives

201
00:12:18.909 --> 00:12:22.330 A:middle L:90%
three D. Correlate er an intergraph semi global matching

202
00:12:22.340 --> 00:12:26.620 A:middle L:90%
program. And we did that. Here's the light

203
00:12:26.620 --> 00:12:31.320 A:middle L:90%
. Our GSM rast arised for the same area we

204
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.289 A:middle L:90%
had in previous slide and here is the semi global

205
00:12:35.289 --> 00:12:37.549 A:middle L:90%
matching. It's a little bit little bit fuzzier.

206
00:12:37.549 --> 00:12:41.720 A:middle L:90%
We did it we did it with three ft spacing

207
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.159 A:middle L:90%
for the uh the output points. Uh but it

208
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.850 A:middle L:90%
looks pretty good. Uh The uh initial uh try

209
00:12:50.850 --> 00:12:54.620 A:middle L:90%
with some active was not quite as good. Um

210
00:12:54.629 --> 00:12:58.129 A:middle L:90%
What we had some issues with cassell coliseum, that

211
00:12:58.129 --> 00:13:01.419 A:middle L:90%
kind of arch curved arch ruth. Uh They went

212
00:13:01.419 --> 00:13:03.940 A:middle L:90%
through back through and found some ways of dealing with

213
00:13:03.940 --> 00:13:07.110 A:middle L:90%
that. But one thing I did want to point

214
00:13:07.110 --> 00:13:09.139 A:middle L:90%
out is that if you look at both this some

215
00:13:09.139 --> 00:13:13.559 A:middle L:90%
active product and the S. GM product and then

216
00:13:13.570 --> 00:13:18.740 A:middle L:90%
look at the stadium woods area and then the white

217
00:13:18.740 --> 00:13:22.740 A:middle L:90%
areas are taller. Uh So uh part of that

218
00:13:22.740 --> 00:13:26.860 A:middle L:90%
is certainly one reason for that is that this is

219
00:13:26.860 --> 00:13:30.049 A:middle L:90%
leaf off imagery, which is what our base map

220
00:13:30.049 --> 00:13:33.129 A:middle L:90%
imagery is intended to be. Uh So these these

221
00:13:33.139 --> 00:13:37.490 A:middle L:90%
large decisions trees with the uh they're having more trouble

222
00:13:37.490 --> 00:13:39.250 A:middle L:90%
with the auto correlation methods and photograph a tree to

223
00:13:39.250 --> 00:13:41.059 A:middle L:90%
get the true tree heights where the lights are,

224
00:13:41.059 --> 00:13:43.659 A:middle L:90%
even though that's the latter was leaf off as well

225
00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:46.620 A:middle L:90%
. It did a much better job. So,

226
00:13:46.629 --> 00:13:54.360 A:middle L:90%
uh but we uh and we did some here is

227
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.039 A:middle L:90%
just a difference between the inactive and the lot are

228
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.620 A:middle L:90%
subtracting it. So the reds showing you under prediction

229
00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:05.669 A:middle L:90%
of heights. Um and the blues showing you over

230
00:14:05.669 --> 00:14:09.179 A:middle L:90%
prediction of heights. And actually what that is actually

231
00:14:09.179 --> 00:14:11.509 A:middle L:90%
where the stereo pairs did a little better. Because

232
00:14:11.509 --> 00:14:13.799 A:middle L:90%
what's actually happening, we determined there was that the

233
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.710 A:middle L:90%
light are because of its scanning nature was has shadow

234
00:14:18.710 --> 00:14:20.659 A:middle L:90%
areas that the stereo pairs are filling in better.

235
00:14:20.669 --> 00:14:22.919 A:middle L:90%
So a lot of those uh thought of those are

236
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.440 A:middle L:90%
actually areas that are just in shadow in the white

237
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:33.399 A:middle L:90%
are. So uh um we decided to go ahead

238
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:37.679 A:middle L:90%
with uh the same active product, partly because Sanborn

239
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.990 A:middle L:90%
, which was producing our image, our Ortho photography

240
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:46.049 A:middle L:90%
was actually doing using the same active product For the

241
00:14:46.049 --> 00:14:50.519 A:middle L:90%
oracle rectification of the 2013 imagery. And they included

242
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.559 A:middle L:90%
in the contract that they deliver that digital surface model

243
00:14:52.740 --> 00:14:56.570 A:middle L:90%
From that processing to us at no additional cost.

244
00:14:56.580 --> 00:15:00.120 A:middle L:90%
So, the 2013 data didn't cost us anything.

245
00:15:00.379 --> 00:15:03.019 A:middle L:90%
And to keep it all consistent and after what we

246
00:15:03.019 --> 00:15:07.000 A:middle L:90%
learned with the quality assessment we could feel that was

247
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.120 A:middle L:90%
pretty good, fairly comparable S. GM. Product

248
00:15:09.129 --> 00:15:11.809 A:middle L:90%
that we have them go back to the 2011 data

249
00:15:11.820 --> 00:15:15.590 A:middle L:90%
and process that to produce the digital surface model for

250
00:15:15.590 --> 00:15:18.620 A:middle L:90%
the areas where we needed it. Uh So uh

251
00:15:18.629 --> 00:15:20.990 A:middle L:90%
the uh we performed the QA Qc and house on

252
00:15:20.990 --> 00:15:24.009 A:middle L:90%
the sand board product we gathered, we had that

253
00:15:24.009 --> 00:15:28.600 A:middle L:90%
data delivered to us in last file format. So

254
00:15:28.629 --> 00:15:31.049 A:middle L:90%
in terms of serving it started and serving it,

255
00:15:31.059 --> 00:15:33.649 A:middle L:90%
it can be treated the same as the lidar data

256
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:37.500 A:middle L:90%
. Uh Now one thing with the digital surface model

257
00:15:37.669 --> 00:15:41.659 A:middle L:90%
from photograph a tree. We can't without additional processing

258
00:15:41.669 --> 00:15:46.000 A:middle L:90%
create a digital elevation model, bare earth. So

259
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.610 A:middle L:90%
where we don't have wide our data which is fairly

260
00:15:48.610 --> 00:15:50.649 A:middle L:90%
easy to produce the bare earth digital elevation model.

261
00:15:50.740 --> 00:15:54.029 A:middle L:90%
We're gonna go and rely on our traditional methods of

262
00:15:54.029 --> 00:15:58.990 A:middle L:90%
producing a digital train model or digital elevation model which

263
00:15:58.990 --> 00:16:03.970 A:middle L:90%
is photograph metric, derive mass points and brake lines

264
00:16:03.980 --> 00:16:08.519 A:middle L:90%
that were done by by stereo analysts. So and

265
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:14.700 A:middle L:90%
that's days were updated in 2011 and 2013. So

266
00:16:14.710 --> 00:16:17.500 A:middle L:90%
uh so getting that data, the data has been

267
00:16:17.509 --> 00:16:22.269 A:middle L:90%
collected, processed uh and delivered to Virginia Tech and

268
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.259 A:middle L:90%
uh last collections of last files uh Quite a few

269
00:16:26.940 --> 00:16:29.590 A:middle L:90%
. Gosh, I've forgotten now. Seth remember how

270
00:16:29.590 --> 00:16:32.480 A:middle L:90%
many terabytes of data I delivered you? It's about

271
00:16:32.490 --> 00:16:36.399 A:middle L:90%
five or six so far. We haven't expanded at

272
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:38.450 A:middle L:90%
all. Yes. Right. Because it's yeah there's

273
00:16:38.940 --> 00:16:45.009 A:middle L:90%
there's un compressed last files and there's 22 competing compression

274
00:16:45.009 --> 00:16:48.200 A:middle L:90%
algorithms out there or compression formats. But anyway it's

275
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.059 A:middle L:90%
lots of data obviously. So uh the the general

276
00:16:52.070 --> 00:16:56.080 A:middle L:90%
idea of serving these is to use mosaic datasets and

277
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.129 A:middle L:90%
a mosaic dataset. If you're not familiar with,

278
00:16:59.129 --> 00:17:03.000 A:middle L:90%
you can either have a whole collection of imagery or

279
00:17:03.009 --> 00:17:06.519 A:middle L:90%
in this case point clouds. And you can you

280
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:08.210 A:middle L:90%
can build a mosaic dataset which is really just a

281
00:17:08.210 --> 00:17:12.319 A:middle L:90%
set as a catalog of all those files, image

282
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:15.980 A:middle L:90%
or point cloud files and mosaic The rules how you're

283
00:17:15.980 --> 00:17:18.720 A:middle L:90%
going to mosaic those when you put them together into

284
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.500 A:middle L:90%
a seamless product and then how you rast arise them

285
00:17:22.509 --> 00:17:26.279 A:middle L:90%
, how you take them and put them into a

286
00:17:26.289 --> 00:17:30.529 A:middle L:90%
mosaic pasteurized property. So it actually doesn't create a

287
00:17:30.529 --> 00:17:32.569 A:middle L:90%
new copy of the data. It doesn't do the

288
00:17:32.569 --> 00:17:34.470 A:middle L:90%
rationalization and make a whole new file there. It

289
00:17:34.470 --> 00:17:38.349 A:middle L:90%
just has a way of of of serving that data

290
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:42.059 A:middle L:90%
out through these mosaic mosaic the rules and rosters,

291
00:17:42.339 --> 00:17:47.869 A:middle L:90%
raster rationalization properties. So you have a service which

292
00:17:47.869 --> 00:17:51.430 A:middle L:90%
can be the elevation service shown here which is in

293
00:17:51.430 --> 00:17:53.160 A:middle L:90%
a sense produced on the fly. Now we can

294
00:17:53.170 --> 00:17:56.970 A:middle L:90%
speed up serving if we cash some of that.

295
00:17:56.980 --> 00:17:59.720 A:middle L:90%
So we're going to probably do that but it doesn't

296
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:00.940 A:middle L:90%
have to be done. And then there's other things

297
00:18:00.940 --> 00:18:03.359 A:middle L:90%
once you have that surface out there you can add

298
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:08.640 A:middle L:90%
additional processing function change to create things like slopes services

299
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.960 A:middle L:90%
like slopes, hill shade aspect other anything you can

300
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.440 A:middle L:90%
basically do is a digital elevation model. You can

301
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.150 A:middle L:90%
do that and serve it out without actually having to

302
00:18:18.150 --> 00:18:21.470 A:middle L:90%
create a whole another bite terabytes worth of data to

303
00:18:21.470 --> 00:18:26.119 A:middle L:90%
do that. And so uh what Virginia Tech's Enterprise

304
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.180 A:middle L:90%
Gs is going to do is build uh pretty much

305
00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:32.869 A:middle L:90%
this model where we're going to take the last files

306
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:34.130 A:middle L:90%
, put them into last data sets. We're gonna

307
00:18:34.140 --> 00:18:38.210 A:middle L:90%
we're not going to go directly into mosaic datasets or

308
00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:41.019 A:middle L:90%
terrain but we're gonna go from the last data sets

309
00:18:41.019 --> 00:18:45.670 A:middle L:90%
to mosaic datasets and then publish out the Image service

310
00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:49.990 A:middle L:90%
elevation Image service. They're basically the same thing in

311
00:18:49.990 --> 00:18:53.940 A:middle L:90%
terms of the every software but obviously imagery showing your

312
00:18:53.940 --> 00:19:00.829 A:middle L:90%
reflections values and the elevation services showing elevations. So

313
00:19:00.829 --> 00:19:03.849 A:middle L:90%
we have some still some work to do. It's

314
00:19:03.849 --> 00:19:06.910 A:middle L:90%
not out there ready to roll yet. We have

315
00:19:06.910 --> 00:19:08.470 A:middle L:90%
to determine whether we're going to use brake lines in

316
00:19:08.470 --> 00:19:12.519 A:middle L:90%
the light. Our data set, we have uh

317
00:19:12.529 --> 00:19:17.420 A:middle L:90%
we developed all the light are with USGS guidelines for

318
00:19:17.430 --> 00:19:21.059 A:middle L:90%
what's called hydro flattening For one thing light are the

319
00:19:21.059 --> 00:19:23.869 A:middle L:90%
near infrared light or has used is pretty much all

320
00:19:23.869 --> 00:19:27.559 A:middle L:90%
absorbed by water. So you get very sparse returns

321
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:30.890 A:middle L:90%
and water and very inaccurate elevation. So you get

322
00:19:30.890 --> 00:19:34.380 A:middle L:90%
a very rough, inaccurate surface over water. So

323
00:19:34.390 --> 00:19:40.259 A:middle L:90%
what is done is break lines or polygons are created

324
00:19:40.259 --> 00:19:44.670 A:middle L:90%
to flatten the area where there is water and USGS

325
00:19:44.670 --> 00:19:47.799 A:middle L:90%
standards. It's two acres in size or water body

326
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:49.250 A:middle L:90%
or 100 ft with for a scream. So if

327
00:19:49.250 --> 00:19:52.660 A:middle L:90%
we incorporate those into certainly the digital elevation model we

328
00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:55.819 A:middle L:90%
want to serve. But one of the questions do

329
00:19:55.819 --> 00:19:59.029 A:middle L:90%
we incorporate that as well into our digital service models

330
00:19:59.369 --> 00:20:00.539 A:middle L:90%
? And probably I'm thinking we will, we're gonna

331
00:20:00.539 --> 00:20:03.309 A:middle L:90%
look at that, make sure that's the right way

332
00:20:03.309 --> 00:20:06.849 A:middle L:90%
to go. But for two reasons, one yr

333
00:20:06.849 --> 00:20:08.490 A:middle L:90%
doesn't do water well, obviously as I mentioned,

334
00:20:08.490 --> 00:20:12.019 A:middle L:90%
but neither does the stereo viewing. You also get

335
00:20:12.019 --> 00:20:17.440 A:middle L:90%
very irregular surface inaccurate services over water. So I

336
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:19.490 A:middle L:90%
think we probably should just flatten the surface model for

337
00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:23.849 A:middle L:90%
where there's water. Uh there's options. Uh the

338
00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:26.309 A:middle L:90%
latest release of R. J. S has a

339
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:30.299 A:middle L:90%
compressed file format which is, you know, reduces

340
00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:33.440 A:middle L:90%
the storage size by Uh down from 10 of the

341
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.230 A:middle L:90%
original size. And it also is claimed to be

342
00:20:37.230 --> 00:20:40.920 A:middle L:90%
a faster in serving. So if that works,

343
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:41.829 A:middle L:90%
that will be that will save us this space and

344
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:47.789 A:middle L:90%
increased performance. Um then uh the uh we also

345
00:20:47.789 --> 00:20:51.519 A:middle L:90%
need to determine what services, what image services we

346
00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:52.769 A:middle L:90%
want to put out their elevation services. Certainly the

347
00:20:52.769 --> 00:20:56.309 A:middle L:90%
digital surface model we need for our application, a

348
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.579 A:middle L:90%
digital elevation model. The ground surface for the lighter

349
00:21:00.579 --> 00:21:03.599 A:middle L:90%
areas. That's gonna be for straightforward. And then

350
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:06.259 A:middle L:90%
for the non white are areas uh We probably want

351
00:21:06.259 --> 00:21:08.819 A:middle L:90%
to go with producing a digital elevation model from our

352
00:21:08.829 --> 00:21:11.880 A:middle L:90%
digital train model of of of mass points and brake

353
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:15.599 A:middle L:90%
lines. And then uh and then will this data

354
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.240 A:middle L:90%
be available for download if you want to use it

355
00:21:18.250 --> 00:21:22.819 A:middle L:90%
for further analysis on your own desktop? That's certainly

356
00:21:22.819 --> 00:21:23.430 A:middle L:90%
our intent. I think we have to figure out

357
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:27.529 A:middle L:90%
just how that's gonna work with the uh with the

358
00:21:27.539 --> 00:21:32.150 A:middle L:90%
capabilities we have here at enterprise Js. And then

359
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.579 A:middle L:90%
uh then we'll create and publish these services, announced

360
00:21:34.579 --> 00:21:37.049 A:middle L:90%
them to you and but you start using them.

361
00:21:38.539 --> 00:21:41.700 A:middle L:90%
Um so a couple of the things that I wanted

362
00:21:41.700 --> 00:21:45.089 A:middle L:90%
to mention before I finish up is that I mentioned

363
00:21:45.089 --> 00:21:48.619 A:middle L:90%
before the Virginia genius clearinghouse is uh what we like

364
00:21:48.619 --> 00:21:51.359 A:middle L:90%
to be, we like it to be the place

365
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:53.440 A:middle L:90%
for you to go to find data for Virginia Julia

366
00:21:53.450 --> 00:21:56.720 A:middle L:90%
, spatial data for Virginia, it's implemented through RGs

367
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.000 A:middle L:90%
online. Um And one of the things I wish

368
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.730 A:middle L:90%
they would changes, I don't know if you can

369
00:22:02.730 --> 00:22:04.500 A:middle L:90%
see it, but there's a little signing, there's

370
00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:07.900 A:middle L:90%
a little sign in link up there. And so

371
00:22:07.910 --> 00:22:08.750 A:middle L:90%
if you come to this site, you may think

372
00:22:08.750 --> 00:22:11.740 A:middle L:90%
you need an account to use that to sign in

373
00:22:11.740 --> 00:22:15.660 A:middle L:90%
. You don't have to anything that's publicly available.

374
00:22:15.660 --> 00:22:18.789 A:middle L:90%
You can search for and find uh you only need

375
00:22:18.789 --> 00:22:21.390 A:middle L:90%
to sign in if you want access to some of

376
00:22:21.390 --> 00:22:23.589 A:middle L:90%
our restricted data sets. And if you need access

377
00:22:23.589 --> 00:22:26.470 A:middle L:90%
to those restricted data sets actually you won't be able

378
00:22:26.470 --> 00:22:30.259 A:middle L:90%
to find them. But if you know about them

379
00:22:30.269 --> 00:22:32.710 A:middle L:90%
um if you know about them or you know you

380
00:22:32.710 --> 00:22:34.920 A:middle L:90%
think they may have data and one of our restricted

381
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.150 A:middle L:90%
data sets actually that you may be most interested in

382
00:22:37.150 --> 00:22:41.109 A:middle L:90%
our tax parcels of land ownership parcels. And um

383
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:45.950 A:middle L:90%
if you have an RGs online account from Virginia Tech

384
00:22:45.339 --> 00:22:49.099 A:middle L:90%
for instance. Uh and you you know contact me

385
00:22:49.099 --> 00:22:52.470 A:middle L:90%
or somebody else that region and you have a good

386
00:22:52.470 --> 00:22:55.079 A:middle L:90%
reason for accessing that data. Uh Well we can

387
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:57.150 A:middle L:90%
give you access to that group to get access to

388
00:22:57.150 --> 00:23:00.799 A:middle L:90%
that data. Uh It's just our local got many

389
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.460 A:middle L:90%
of the local governments prefer that. We don't make

390
00:23:03.460 --> 00:23:06.299 A:middle L:90%
their data just easy to download. Many of the

391
00:23:06.299 --> 00:23:07.430 A:middle L:90%
parcel data sets are available and you'll be able to

392
00:23:07.430 --> 00:23:11.099 A:middle L:90%
find them that the federal government has indicated there five

393
00:23:11.099 --> 00:23:15.359 A:middle L:90%
of us just sharing them. So um so I

394
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:17.410 A:middle L:90%
encourage you to go there and look around you.

395
00:23:17.410 --> 00:23:19.329 A:middle L:90%
There's things you can download like layer files, shape

396
00:23:19.329 --> 00:23:23.849 A:middle L:90%
files, trained data sets. Um There are also

397
00:23:23.849 --> 00:23:27.930 A:middle L:90%
things you connect to like our imagery services. Other

398
00:23:27.940 --> 00:23:33.470 A:middle L:90%
are geo coding service uh and other services you can

399
00:23:33.470 --> 00:23:36.599 A:middle L:90%
add to a web map or a web application.

400
00:23:37.339 --> 00:23:41.849 A:middle L:90%
The other thing as I mentioned, our garden effort

401
00:23:41.849 --> 00:23:45.450 A:middle L:90%
which is a collaboration with universities to help get our

402
00:23:45.450 --> 00:23:47.900 A:middle L:90%
base map data out to the universities for them to

403
00:23:47.900 --> 00:23:52.930 A:middle L:90%
use but also provides us additional uh redundancy and having

404
00:23:52.940 --> 00:23:56.700 A:middle L:90%
other sites serving some of the same services and maybe

405
00:23:56.700 --> 00:23:59.130 A:middle L:90%
even serving some of the services we're not interested in

406
00:23:59.130 --> 00:24:02.640 A:middle L:90%
serving like older imagery. Our our objective is to

407
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:04.990 A:middle L:90%
provide the latest imagery to local governments. Uh,

408
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:07.049 A:middle L:90%
so that's our focus and we may not want to

409
00:24:07.059 --> 00:24:10.279 A:middle L:90%
we want to retire some of our older data sets

410
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:11.349 A:middle L:90%
, but certainly a lot of people might be interested

411
00:24:11.349 --> 00:24:15.150 A:middle L:90%
in older data sets. Uh, so Virginia Tech

412
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.039 A:middle L:90%
again has been kind of leader on this setting up

413
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:21.369 A:middle L:90%
the garden site and some of our services are replicated

414
00:24:21.369 --> 00:24:22.750 A:middle L:90%
here. And uh, you know, and so

415
00:24:22.750 --> 00:24:26.190 A:middle L:90%
will be the elevation service will actually be the,

416
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:27.210 A:middle L:90%
at least at first, the only place that that

417
00:24:27.210 --> 00:24:30.910 A:middle L:90%
elevation service will be available through the Virginia Tech garden

418
00:24:30.910 --> 00:24:34.470 A:middle L:90%
site. We also have a garden at William and

419
00:24:34.470 --> 00:24:38.250 A:middle L:90%
mary. Some of our imagery services are served there

420
00:24:38.259 --> 00:24:41.359 A:middle L:90%
. Uh We tend to, we want to have

421
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:44.900 A:middle L:90%
everybody have the similar U. R L garden dot

422
00:24:44.910 --> 00:24:48.529 A:middle L:90%
whatever university dot edu. Um We also have a

423
00:24:48.539 --> 00:24:52.710 A:middle L:90%
memorandum of understandings in place with Virginia, Commonwealth University

424
00:24:52.710 --> 00:24:56.380 A:middle L:90%
University of Richmond mary Washington, jmu. In Radford

425
00:24:56.390 --> 00:25:00.569 A:middle L:90%
. Uh to participate in the garden program. Some

426
00:25:00.569 --> 00:25:03.089 A:middle L:90%
of those have some services already stood up, but

427
00:25:03.089 --> 00:25:04.400 A:middle L:90%
we've not made them kind of publicly available. They're

428
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:07.670 A:middle L:90%
not really quite ready for what? No. Why

429
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:11.559 A:middle L:90%
? Uh ready to go? Why yet? So

430
00:25:11.940 --> 00:25:14.960 A:middle L:90%
Rush through that. But I hope only have five

431
00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:18.910 A:middle L:90%
minutes so after. So we want to take some

432
00:25:18.910 --> 00:25:27.329 A:middle L:90%
questions. You have time. So I didn't know

433
00:25:27.329 --> 00:25:30.380 A:middle L:90%
if you wanted to mention uh not data up and

434
00:25:30.380 --> 00:25:33.559 A:middle L:90%
use playing cover effort that you guys are working.

435
00:25:33.140 --> 00:25:38.599 A:middle L:90%
Uh Yeah, the the the Bay program, the

436
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:42.579 A:middle L:90%
Chesapeake Bay program has really interested in in getting uh

437
00:25:42.589 --> 00:25:47.130 A:middle L:90%
good land cover information, high resolution when cover information

438
00:25:47.140 --> 00:25:48.390 A:middle L:90%
more, you know, down to the probably like

439
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.390 A:middle L:90%
one m resolution uh for the entire Chesapeake bay.

440
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.119 A:middle L:90%
Uh We may try to get it for the entire

441
00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:59.279 A:middle L:90%
state. Uh There are there are two budget amendments

442
00:25:59.289 --> 00:26:00.819 A:middle L:90%
, one in the Senate and one in the House

443
00:26:00.819 --> 00:26:02.799 A:middle L:90%
bill right now. That would provide some fun to

444
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:04.930 A:middle L:90%
do that. And Vi Gin is tasked with coordinating

445
00:26:04.930 --> 00:26:08.390 A:middle L:90%
that uh as you if you follow Virginia politics,

446
00:26:08.390 --> 00:26:11.650 A:middle L:90%
we don't have a budget. So we don't know

447
00:26:11.650 --> 00:26:14.210 A:middle L:90%
whether that money is going to come or not.

448
00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:21.359 A:middle L:90%
So hopefully hopefully we'll know soon, hopefully before July

449
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:23.960 A:middle L:90%
one. So I still have a I'm not furloughed

450
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:27.099 A:middle L:90%
So, uh, but the other thing I forgot

451
00:26:27.099 --> 00:26:30.519 A:middle L:90%
to mention quickly is that we do have the 2013

452
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:32.839 A:middle L:90%
imagery services out now. And I think you sent

453
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:37.710 A:middle L:90%
out a list announcement on our list sir. Yes

454
00:26:37.710 --> 00:26:41.569 A:middle L:90%
. I'm calling to ask this question on the land

455
00:26:41.569 --> 00:26:42.750 A:middle L:90%
use land cover. How you have a plan on

456
00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:47.940 A:middle L:90%
how you're going to develop that uh go back to

457
00:26:47.940 --> 00:26:52.029 A:middle L:90%
the uh the intent is to use high resolution product

458
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.420 A:middle L:90%
a lot of it. A lot of the impetus

459
00:26:55.420 --> 00:26:57.990 A:middle L:90%
is getting very accurate and previous cover and the feeling

460
00:26:57.990 --> 00:27:00.470 A:middle L:90%
at least for a lot of people is that you

461
00:27:00.470 --> 00:27:03.019 A:middle L:90%
need at least one m resolution or higher resolution.

462
00:27:03.029 --> 00:27:07.690 A:middle L:90%
So uh uh, certainly my feeling is that Virginia

463
00:27:07.690 --> 00:27:08.880 A:middle L:90%
based map because it's leaf off and it's at least

464
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.109 A:middle L:90%
one ft some type places six inches or three inch

465
00:27:11.109 --> 00:27:15.420 A:middle L:90%
resolution is the best place to go. Uh We

466
00:27:15.420 --> 00:27:18.970 A:middle L:90%
may also use the nape imagery where we which is

467
00:27:18.970 --> 00:27:22.579 A:middle L:90%
available statewide at one m leaf on and we may

468
00:27:22.579 --> 00:27:25.049 A:middle L:90%
also use the light our data where we have it

469
00:27:25.059 --> 00:27:27.859 A:middle L:90%
because that could help to the classifications. But another

470
00:27:27.859 --> 00:27:30.490 A:middle L:90%
thing we have to another hurdle with that is getting

471
00:27:30.500 --> 00:27:34.049 A:middle L:90%
all the partners and interested parties to agree on a

472
00:27:34.049 --> 00:27:41.220 A:middle L:90%
classification scheme. That's been that's been interesting. All

473
00:27:41.220 --> 00:27:45.660 A:middle L:90%
right, other questions. Thank you, sir.

474
00:27:45.670 --> 00:27:52.650 A:middle L:90%
All right, well thank you. Before we break

475
00:27:52.650 --> 00:27:55.549 A:middle L:90%
to the posters, we have a special presentation by

476
00:27:55.549 --> 00:28:00.970 A:middle L:90%
Dr Campbell. Yes, I'm not an important mission

477
00:28:00.970 --> 00:28:03.940 A:middle L:90%
but I won't be long. Uhh I think we're

478
00:28:03.940 --> 00:28:07.250 A:middle L:90%
all aware there are people in our community who do

479
00:28:07.250 --> 00:28:14.170 A:middle L:90%
some work that gets recognition outside our community and sometimes

480
00:28:14.170 --> 00:28:18.319 A:middle L:90%
they make special awards for these folks and sometimes the

481
00:28:18.329 --> 00:28:22.250 A:middle L:90%
people involved are not available to get the award at

482
00:28:22.259 --> 00:28:26.309 A:middle L:90%
the time it's presented. So the American view people

483
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:32.269 A:middle L:90%
are group of 39 states who works nationwide on sentencing

484
00:28:33.539 --> 00:28:38.819 A:middle L:90%
NGS activities has asked me to present to tammy Parisse

485
00:28:38.829 --> 00:28:45.259 A:middle L:90%
a special award. Mhm. Yes, you have

486
00:28:45.259 --> 00:28:57.660 A:middle L:90%
to come. Okay. Uh huh. To appreciate

487
00:28:57.660 --> 00:29:02.380 A:middle L:90%
this. Nice citation. It talks about her worked

488
00:29:02.390 --> 00:29:10.960 A:middle L:90%
outreach to communities outside with geospatial activities outside the university

489
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:17.289 A:middle L:90%
. Her work books, I forgot um training state

490
00:29:17.289 --> 00:29:22.779 A:middle L:90%
agency employees and especially for her work to develop tutorials

491
00:29:22.789 --> 00:29:27.400 A:middle L:90%
to bring um the religious image processing tools to a

492
00:29:27.410 --> 00:29:32.690 A:middle L:90%
broader community of people which is now reaching what's the

493
00:29:32.690 --> 00:29:36.789 A:middle L:90%
latest count on our. Mhm. This is about

494
00:29:37.549 --> 00:29:48.650 A:middle L:90%
beyond the house, so Thank you very much before

495
00:29:48.650 --> 00:29:51.509 A:middle L:90%
we break to the social. A couple points.

496
00:29:51.509 --> 00:29:55.559 A:middle L:90%
First off there are over 40 posters out there and

497
00:29:55.559 --> 00:30:00.039 A:middle L:90%
they're excellent, so don't bolt because the oral portion

498
00:30:00.049 --> 00:30:04.369 A:middle L:90%
is done, there's lots of fun science out there

499
00:30:04.369 --> 00:30:07.650 A:middle L:90%
to really explore honestly. Um I want to give

500
00:30:07.650 --> 00:30:12.930 A:middle L:90%
credit to the remote sensing interdisciplinary graduate education program for

501
00:30:12.940 --> 00:30:15.960 A:middle L:90%
a second year in a row. Um sponsoring our

502
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:21.569 A:middle L:90%
social um and so enjoy it. Um Also credit

503
00:30:21.569 --> 00:30:25.880 A:middle L:90%

speakers. I also want to give credit to our

505
00:30:27.700 --> 00:30:32.200 A:middle L:90%
poster session judges who are the following carrie, Goldbaek

506
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:34.309 A:middle L:90%
, Dubose, joe baker, MEREDITH steel and bob

507
00:30:34.309 --> 00:30:40.049 A:middle L:90%
Oliver who will be presenting hopefully the results of that

508
00:30:40.339 --> 00:30:42.910 A:middle L:90%
Judging at about an hour. So we'll come back

509
00:30:42.910 --> 00:30:47.269 A:middle L:90%
here at 10 after five for the results of that

510
00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:51.849 A:middle L:90%
judging. Hopefully Folks will be around and can and

511
00:30:51.849 --> 00:30:53.369 A:middle L:90%
will stick around long enough to socialize because it's really

512
00:30:53.369 --> 00:30:56.569 A:middle L:90%
fun to interact with each other and see what's going

513
00:30:56.569 --> 00:30:59.670 A:middle L:90%
on. The whole purpose of this activity, you

514

know that we've been doing the last 16 years is

515
00:31:02.150 --> 00:31:03.250 A:middle L:90%
to build community. So let's go out there and

516
00:31:03.259 --> 00:31:07.900 A:middle L:90%
have a cold or not so cold one and build

517
00:31:07.900 --> 00:31:11.539 A:middle L:90%
some community. So, um please um let's go

518
00:31:11.539 --> 00:31:12.170 A:middle L:90%
do it. We'll be back here in an hour
