Abstract

Compare the past, present and future in our virtual timemachine
Track: Imagery
Authors: Peter Gustafsson

Historical aerial photos from four decades have come to live in the municipalities of
Staffanstorp and Kävlinge, Sweden.

In this presentation we will demonstrate the process of digitalization, georeferencing,
mosaicing and storage of the images. We will also present how we are using the ArcGIS JavaScript API to make the images easily accessible to a broader
audience through a web browser. And with our amazing 'time machine', a swipetool-enabled web mapping application, everyone with an interest of the past can enjoy easy exploration of the development of their community. We will show concrete examples from several different areas where the tool been used to gain knowledge and to make vice decisions.

Built upon samples from the ArcGIS Online Story map team and further developed by the municipalities, http://kartweb.staffanstorp.se/historiskastaffanstorp is an example of a virtual gold mine, yours to explore!
