2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Utilizing Imagery in Economic Development Applications Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Stuart Blankenship Imagery plays a vital role in the economic development process. Aerial photography, satellite imagery, and scanned topographic maps can be used to aid prospects in visualizing a site without making a physical visit. All of these raster datasets can, however, present technical challenges. For example, how do you deal with raster datasets that are not in the same spatial reference? How do you manage the storage and display of thousands of separate tiles? This presentation will highlight the important role of imagery in economic development and specific methods of storage and retrieval. An interactive demo will be given as well to illustrate the power of making large raster datasets portable. The specific methodology has been developed with an emphasis on Esri's ArcGIS system.
