KyFromAbove hosts statewide aerial imagery and elevation data. Many users consume KyFromAbove as a basemap, but the data can do far more when wrapped behind a geoprocessing service.
This presentation looks at how the Division of Geographic Information is exposing this content through RESTful geoprocessing services, both on-premises and in the cloud, accessible via a URL from any device or application. With a simple request, a field user can pull the closest oblique images for their location, identify the highest and lowest points, or measure land cover change over time.
We will walk through a few examples of the backend architecture, demo a few tools and URLs, and share our plans for the future of geoprocessing on demand.
