Pictometry and POL for Educators

Pictometry and POL for Educators - Presented By: Andy Mendola

This workshop will provide educators and researchers in higher education and K-12 environments with an introduction to Pictometry’s unique imagery and its analytics product POL – Pictometry OnLine. A former teacher himself, Andy Mendola, Pictometry’s Educational Program Manager, will present an introduction to the high resolution digital aerial imagery and analytical tools that are available to educational institutions. Participants will learn what imagery is available, how to search and navigate the imagery, how to measure height, distance and area, and how to incorporate KML files and GIS data, among many other tools and techniques. Educators in numerous areas, such as Emergency Management, Hazard Mitigation, Planning, Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, Geosciences, Urban Planning and Development, Landscape Architecture and Ecology, will be delighted by the possibilities available to them and their students.
