Abstract
GeoImmersive Video: Plan to See It All Track: Pipeline Author(s): Mike Krasman, Karen Tanaka U.S.I. Project Services, Inc. (USI), a survey company responsible for pipeline selection for leaders in energy infrastructure and pipeline transport, films pipeline routes at low altitude from a helicopter, and the resulting footage is tied to GPS coordinates so that each frame of video knows exactly where it is. By incorporating GeoImmersive video into the ArcGIS environment, USI has georeferenced visual imagery to support them throughout the various stages of their projects including planning, public consultation, environmental assessments, groundtruthing, post-construction, and archiving. Cost and time savings have been realized as engineers, environmental consultants, and other stakeholders can visit remote locations simultaneously from their desktop. Informational accuracy and communication has also increased as all parties are basing business decisions on the same data-rich visual perspective. The ability to transport oneself to any point on the site, at any time, is a first that can change the way that we work. Mike Krasman Universal Surveys Suite 1015, 910 - 7 Avenue S.W.
