New Esri Widget Pictometry for Esri Web AppBuilder – a new “widget” available from Pictometry for
integrating with Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition)
Pictometry for Esri Web AppBuilderEsri has a product named Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS, designed to be a wizard-like interface for building powerful GIS applications without writing any code, but built on their powerful JavaScript API. Its purpose is to help customers build JavaScript/HTML web and mobile GIS applications, and to expedite customers’ migration off of legacy Flex and Silverlight technology, which Esri has announced end of support for in the near future (blog on that announcement).
Three editions of Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS:
• Web AppBuilder embedded in ArcGIS Online
• Web AppBuilder embedded in Portal for ArcGIS (the customer-premise extension to ArcGIS for Server which emulates the ArcGIS Online environment)
• Web AppBuilder (Developer Edition) (A downloadable version that supports more customization and extensibility like adding 3rd party and custom widgets).

Advanced LiDAR Sensor and Solutions
New LiDAR Sensor Earlier this year, Pictometry invested in a 3rd airborne LiDAR Sensor State-of-the-art Optech Galaxy LiDAR System Currently capturing QL2 LiDAR for a 4000+ sq mile project area in CA
New LiDAR SpecificationsBackground: Late last year, the USGS released an updated LiDAR Base Specification Version 1.2. The specification defines the LiDAR product requirements (Accuracy, Density, Deliverabes) for
their new nationwide initiative for new LiDAR data (3D Elevation Program or 3DEP) This was driven by an exhaustive research study (The National Enhanced Elevation Assessment
or NEEA) throughout 2011 and 2012 exploring why, how and when to update the National Elevation Dataset (NED). (USGS, NGA, FEMA, NOAA, 34 total federal agencies, 50 States, others)
Results showed that an improved national elevation program has the potential to generate $1.2-billion to $13-billion in new benefits each year
New USGS LiDAR Specifications3DEP: Over an 8 year period collect QL2 (or better) LiDAR coverage for lower 49 states
New LiDAR Solutions (QL1 and QL2)Products: Pictometry QL1 and QL2 LiDAR
• Raw Point Cloud (LAS)• Classified Point Cloud (LAS)• Bare-Earth Surface (Raster DEM)• Breaklines (hydro)• FGDC-Compliant Metadata
• Collection Report• Survey Report• Processing Report• QA/QC Report• Digital Extents
Details: Collection, Processing, QA/QC, Delivery of USGS-compliant QL1 or QL2 LiDAR
QL1 = aggregate nominal post spacing (ANPS) of 0.35m or less (equivalent to density of 8 ppm or more), vertical accuracy 10cm RMSEz
QL2 = aggregate nominal post spacing (ANPS) of 0.70m or less (equivalent to density of 2 ppm or more), vertical accuracy 10cm RMSEz
Deliverables and Specifications in accordance with USGS LiDAR Base Specification Version 1.2, November 2014
Deliverables:
** 1 ft or 2 ft Contours are optionally available **
