How the digital camera was used:
Aerial and on-the-ground shots of industrial sites and office parks in the nine county region using the Kodak DCA 420 camera.
On CD ROM: Database with digital photography available
On Web: A sampling of the major sites will be incorporated into the webpages of G/FLRPC so that interested parties can click on a site and not only see the database, but the digital photo(s) (ground and a some aerial) as well.
In reports: For the executive summary report, a few digital photos will be utilized in the printed reports to accompany the database information.
As part of GIS database user can click on particular site and have database and digital photography available
Why the camera is useful:
The developer or business looking at properties in the region can gain important information from the database, and can get a "virtual" look at the property itself. They can get a feel for the infrastructure surrounding the property, the condition of existing buildings, and how the property is situated in an industrial/office park. By giving developers this additional insight, the number of unknowns, and therefore the risk, is reduced. Digital photography (both aerial and on-the-ground) can be easily integrated with geographic information systems, databases, internet web sites, CD-ROMs, reports, and other digital applications. The quality of digital photos clearly exceeds that of scanned prints.
