Abstract
Utilizing Videography and GIS for Right of Way Issue Identification Track: Electric and Gas Author(s): Dawson Ingram, Cameron Shankland In this project study, GPC sought a cost-effective option to fly the utility ROWs and collect low-level, airborne, georeferenced videography complemented with georeferenced still imagery to enable GPC to complete its attribute data collection. The project results enabled GPC to access all ROW points of interest in GIS, and "fly" the line with oblique and downward perspectives from its computer screen. The digital video can be reviewed, allowing GPC to review each frame for careful, detailed analysis and to identify potential issues within the ROW. The high-resolution still imagery provides GPC with a closer inspection of site features such as encroachments and facility conditions on the ROW. Additionally, the data is incorporated within the enterprise GIS allowing the video, high-resolution images and facility attributes to be accessed throughout GPC, providing a more comprehensive analysis tool for quality assurance, interpretation and planning.
