color:#1F497D'>In Georgia the Tax Assessors store sketches of buildings in
their CAMA systems. While not entirely georeferenced they are linked to
specific parcels. So we have been able to extract that sketch from the CAMA
System and have it placed in the correct parcel. That is about as
automated a method as I have seen. Users still have to come and move the
building sketch to match the aerials. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
