Sanborn Oblique Imagery Solutions.
Multiple-View Aerial Imagery
The Sanborn Oblique Imagery Solution provides users with the ability to see multiple aerial views of any location. Employing five separate digital cameras to capture oblique and nadir (straight-down) views, this solution provides comprehensive data for applications which require the ability to measure and analyze all sides of a structure or ground feature. The final georeferenced imagery is delivered to the end-user in a format that makes it easy to see, analyze, and utilize effectively.

The web-based Sanborn oblique imagery suite of tools operates in a server environment and is accessed and
utilized via the web or any network it is published to. The tools have a number of primary functions.

All five views (four-45 degree views and the nadir view) are viewable in the Oblique Analyst. You can easily select a view as the primary view and then switch back and forth between other views.
- The Oblique Analyst allows users to pan and zoom around in the project area to select views to be the subject. You can zoom in and out with a slider bar or pan with the traditional hand cursor.

- The Oblique Analyst contains an overview map so users know their exact location within the project area.
- The Oblique Analyst contains an addressing feature to quickly locate specific addresses.

The Oblique Analyst features a number of tools which enable users to:
- Select a Location: All views within the current image event are identified with a point that is on or nearby the object selected (dependent on the level of product that has been purchased).
- Show Coordinates
- Measure Height: A featured tool is provided to measure an object’s height in the image.*
- Measure Length: A tool is provided to measure length along the side of an object in the image.*
