shrug-l: RE: viewing parcels against Bing imagery in ArcMap 10

[Sykes, John]

I'm sorry I don't have the time/ability to check this out, but does look like a projection issue to me.  The lower right is dead-on and it goes further and further astray as you go to the NW.  I presented a paper on such issues back a few years ago at the shrug meeting.  Point is 50% of the time it is a georegistration error on the aerial photo folks part and 50% of the time the parcel data is screwed-up (you can tell if it doesn't register with itself - check out Volusia & Lake Counties for examples).

Theoretically, the FDOT aerial photos are accurate to +/- 3 pixels or 7 ft, whichever is greater.  Don't know about Bing.  Orthorectifying the photos can introduce other distortions too.  Even with a digital scanner, the errors in the axis of the flight path are not usually too bad, but when you get out to the fringes of the scan - different story.  That's why they usually do a 1/3 overlap of aerials.  Trust me, with differential GPS in the aircraft, things are a lot better than they use to be.

I have been playing with a couple of different transformations with little luck to see if I could get a better fit. I wonder if the stuff you pay for is better than what Esri provides for free with ArcGIS 10. If so this is not a good test.

Tim,

Here is what I came up with.  Anyone else get a similar result?

Subject: shrug-l: viewing parcels against Bing imagery in ArcMap 10

Hello Shruggers -

Could somebody out there with ArcMap 10 do us a favor?

Before buying the new Bing 30cm imagery for our county, I'm trying to get a handle on how our vector features would line up on the Bing rasters. We're still on ArcMap 931 (and happy).

If I provide a clipped 2x2mile area of our parcel fabric, could someone with AM 10 load it onto Bing imagery and send me a screen shot of the area? I'll try attaching it to this post ...

Thanks,
Tim Spivey
