SIGGIS’ Cyclo Mapping tools

INTRODUCTION SIGGIS has integrated the use of Cycloramas within

the Esri ArcGIS software. The resulting toolkit is

called Cyclo Mapping tool.

Cycloramas are 360 degree panoramic photos taken

at street-level and are created by CycloMedia

Technology BV. These photos are made available

through web services1. Many national institutes,

regional and local governments, water management

administrations and utility companies are already

using Cycloramas. All of these organisations value

the wealth of visual information. The imagery can be

used quickly and at the same time allow detailed

surveys.

The SIGGIS’ Cyclo Mapping  tool goes even one step further. SIGGIS has integrated the

GlobeSpotter API from Cyclomedia Technology BV with the Esri ArcGIS software. Thanks to this

development you can now use the full potential of Cycloramas from within this commonly used

GIS2  platform. The software allows you to not only survey, but also measure and capture all

visible elements in the public domain, e.g.:

-  frontages,

-  bridges,

-  trees,

... and any other point, line or surface.

With the Cyclo Mapping tools you will be able to prepare and greatly simplify your fieldwork,

thus saving on time and distances travelled.

The toolkit is available as a low-cost extension for ArcGIS Desktop 9.3.1 and 10 and as

standalone application based on ArcReader.

Accuracy 

Flemish water distributing companies have carried out research in 2010 on the accuracy of

measurements via Cyclo Mapping tools. The research results confirm that, all while keeping in

mind some basic principles, the measurement accuracy attained is at least 10 centimetres. This

toolkit is therefore ideal for applications that involve measuring tree heights and frontages or formaking inventories of parking spaces and public parks.

FUNCTIONS 

Cyclo Mapping / Cyclorama functions

Retrieving Cyclorama positions

Taking any street map, the user can request to retrieve the positions of the Cycloramas, which

typically have an intermediate distance of 5 meters.

Cyclorama locations displayed on a map. Select two cyclorama placeholdersto view and use the corresponding

panoramic photos.

Using two panoramic photos to measure an object

Select in each photo two identical points. Next the measure tool will calculate the distance

between the two.

The window displaying the Cyclorama also allows the user to:

-  Rotate the view 360°

- 

Zoom in and out of the panoramic image

- 

Choose a central or panoramic perspective (ie. Fish-eye or cylindrical respectively)

-  Print the picture in its original dimensions or scaled

- 

Save the current view or the full scale picture to a bitmap file (BMP)-  Request meta-information about the currently displayed photos

Using two panoramic photos to make an asset inventory

By selecting an identical point in both frames, the application will calculate the geo-coordinates

of the mutually selected object. The resulting point will subsequently be displayed in the map.

The coordinates (in ao WGS84, National Grid, RD and Lambert72) and corresponding attributes

are stored in a Geodatabase of your choice.

Display your GIS data in the 360° panoramic pictures

From within ArcGIS, you can now also display your GIS data, such as utility network or

development plans, within the panoramic photos. This will provide an accurate and natural

perspective to your data.

PRODUCTS & PRICING 

The Cyclo Mapping tools are comprised of several applications.

The Cyclo Mapping Editor Extension is available as an extension for the Esri ArcGIS Desktopapplications ArcView, ArcEditor, ArcInfo and  ArcGIS Engine. It comes in a Viewer and Editor

version. Both versions allow the display of Cyclorama images as well as the measurement of any

visible object in the public domain. Additionally the Editor-version allows you to directly store

points, lines and polygons in x-y-z-coordinates into your Geodatabase. The visualisation of GIS

data within the Cyclorama is also possible in the Editor version.

In addition, SIGGIS offers a standalone (SA) version based on ArcReader, a free application of

Esri. The Cyclo Mapping Viewer SA provides measuring capabilities, while the Cyclo Mapping

Editor SA also allows you to define coordinates in x-y-z-coordinate terms and save these in a

standardized Access databank.

BASE SOFTWARE 

ArcView, ArcEditor and ArcInfo

The Cyclo Mapping extension is available as an extension for ArcGIS Desktop 9.3.1 and 10. It canbe used under three license levels; ArcView, ArcEditor and ArcInfo

With ArcGIS Desktop, you can create maps and alter them. You can view spatial data and then

edit, analyse and query this data to gain an advanced perspective of how the data interrelates.

With ArcMap, a component of ArcGIS Desktop, you have the possibility to denote and display

this data in many different ways. You can generate graphics and reports to share conclusions

with other interested parties. Additionally, ArcMap has a WYSIWYG3  interface that allows map

layout adjustments. Finally, ArcGIS Desktop can integrate a wide array of data formats, such as

shape files, coverages, tables, CAD-drawings, rasters and TINs. For more information about

ArcGIS Desktop, please visit: http://www.esri.com/products/index.html#desktop_gis_panel 

ArcGIS EngineThe Cyclo Mapping extension is also available for ArcGIS Engine. ArcGIS Engine is a collection of

GIS components and developer resources that can be embedded, allowing you to add dynamic

mapping and GIS capabilities to existing applications or build new custom mapping applications.

Developers use ArcGIS Engine to deploy GIS data, maps, and geoprocessing scripts in desktop or

mobile applications using application programming interfaces (APIs) for COM, .NET, Java, and

C++.

For more information, please visit http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisengine/ 

SIGGIS can assist your organisation with the integration of any Esri software, including ArcGIS

Engine. Please check out our company profile at the end of this document and do not hesitate to

contact us with further inquiries.

ArcReaderThe Cyclo Mapping standalone is based on ArcReader, a free application of Esri, as well as on

9.3.1 and 10. ArcReader is a free, easy-to-use desktop mapping application that allows users to

view, explore and print maps and globes. Anyone with ArcReader can view high-quality

interactive maps authored by a high-level ArcGIS Desktop product and published with the ArcGIS

Publisher extension.
