Cyclomedia GeoCycloramas
The Cyclomedia GeoCyclorama is a 360° panoramic photograph with an ultra-high resolution. Cyclomedia's Cyclorama provides a reliable and objective digital view of public spaces from street-level. The high quality and resolution of GeoCycloramas provides users with the clarity to see details such as house numbers, infrastructure characteristics, and the condition of assets and real estate. All can be viewed, assessed, and analyzed without having to go to the actual location.
Cyclorama
Thanks to the unique camera and patented processing techniques, GeoCycloramas are highly accurate with precise location and orientation information built in (geo-referencing).
This enables precise measuring. GeoCycloramas are captured systematically and on a large scale. They are taken at intervals of 16.4 feet (5 meters) on all public roads accessible by vehicle.
Cyclomedia's imaging system captures five individual images per recording location. These individual images are stitched together into one parallax-free GeoCyclorama.
GeoCycloramas in themselves or in combination with other geographical and administrative data (provided by Cyclomedia or the end user), can be an essential source of information for many work processes in government and business. The positional accuracy of GeoCycloramas means that users can display existing data layers directly on the images, for viewing or editing.
GeoCycloramas are managed in Cyclomedia's online database via a web-based platform. This database can be accessed via Street Smart as a service solution.
Street Smart: Easy Access to GeoCycloramas
Cyclomedia’s Street Smart platform is where users are able to access GeoCycloramas. It’s a simple, web-based viewer that lets you explore the images and data with ease. You can view current and past images, compare changes over time, and use tools like Measure Smart to quickly measure objects or distances. The platform includes multiple data layers that allow users to see additional information, making it even easier to analyze and plan.
Through Street Smart, users can easily access these GeoCycloramas and use tools like Measure Smart to quickly take measurements, such as distances or object sizes, directly from the images. With options to view both current and historical data, users can track changes over time and compare conditions, making it ideal for planning, maintenance, and assessment tasks.
By combining the power of GeoCycloramas with the easy-to-use Street Smart platform, Cyclomedia makes it possible to remotely inspect and evaluate public spaces with incredible accuracy and speed.
How GeoCycloramas Work with ArcGIS
For those using Esri’s ArcGIS software, GeoCycloramas can be easily integrated. Cyclomedia provides a Street Smart Widget for ArcGIS so that users can combine GeoCycloramas with their own geographic data. This makes it easier to analyze maps, create reports, and make better decisions using real-world images.
With ArcGIS, users can overlay GeoCycloramas with other important data, such as zoning information or public works details. This integration helps planners, government officials, and businesses better manage their projects.
Who benefits from GeoCycloramas?
GeoCycloramas are helpful for a wide range of industries. City governments can assess public infrastructure remotely, saving time and money on field visits. Real estate companies can review property conditions and surrounding areas without needing to visit each location. Utility companies can inspect power lines or gas pipes from a computer, making asset management easier and more efficient.
In infrastructure, it’s important to keep roads, bridges, and utilities in good shape to ensure public safety. Normally, inspectors would have to visit each site to check the condition of roads, sidewalks, or utility poles. This takes a lot of time, especially in large or remote areas.
With GeoCycloramas, infrastructure managers can do these assessments from their offices. The 360° images provide high-resolution details, such as small cracks in the road or signs of erosion. For example, city planners in the Netherlands use GeoCycloramas to assess bike lanes, using the system to quickly see what needs fixing and compare conditions with older data to plan maintenance.
Cyclorama building for Public Works management
City departments that manage utilities, waste collection, and public spaces find GeoCycloramas extremely helpful. They can check on things like water lines, tree growth near power lines, or public spaces without having to send someone on-site every time. To compare recent and historical images to spot areas where flooding could be a problem, allowing them to quickly decide which areas need urgent attention. By integrating GeoCycloramas with other tools, like ArcGIS, you can even layer extra information on top of the images, such as the location of underground pipes or utility lines.
Real Estate, Property Appraisal, and Urban Planning
For real estate developers and urban planners, accurate, up-to-date information is crucial for making smart decisions. GeoCycloramas provide detailed street-level images, which developers can use to virtually visit sites. This saves time, as they don’t have to travel to every location in person. Planners can also see how areas are changing over time and ensure that buildings and other structures follow zoning rules. Planners use GeoCycloramas to monitor construction progress and make sure everything was being built correctly.
Government and Law Enforcement
Local governments and law enforcement agencies use GeoCycloramas to monitor public spaces and enforce rules. They can check traffic signs, investigate incidents, and review areas for traffic violations without having to send officers on patrol every time. Officials use GeoCycloramas to monitor busy intersections. They check that traffic signs are visible and properly placed, helping to reduce accidents and traffic violations. They can also improve emergency response times by showing personnel exactly what the location will look like and any obstacles before they arrive, and help operators locate individuals.
A future-proof solution
Because GeoCycloramas use cutting-edge technology, they are built to last. The system automatically manages frequencies, meaning there’s no need to worry about technical issues. And with USB-C charging and easy integration with ArcGIS, GeoCycloramas are a future-proof solution for your business or government needs.
Cyclomedia's GeoCycloramas and Street Smart platform give users easy access to accurate, high-resolution images of streets and public spaces. Are you a city planner, real estate agent, or utility manager? These tools make it simpler to analyze and manage projects. Plus, with ArcGIS integration, you can unlock even more possibilities for data analysis and decision-making. GeoCycloramas provide the clarity and convenience you're looking for.
