Hello All, I have trying to understand the potential of building rooftop extraction, i.e to understand what societal benefit it has to it attached, as Just extraction of building won't help much of society r government, I will be happy if someone can throw some light on that. ??
This is used in our area for monitoring tree removal by homeowners. You need a permit to remove trees on your property. A law aimed at promoting native species and eliminating invasive species. Species recognition requires high resolution satellite imagery.
Thanks Luke for answering my query, But could you must help in understanding building footprint use in Landuse development for a city, in case you can share some insights !!
There is always the issue of building permit and monitoring for non-permitted building. Governments always want their pound of flesh. The permitting process allows them to monitor landowner improvements in properties that raise the appraisal basis and increases tax revenues. Monitoring construction activity could allow governments to identify illegal building improvements. I once knew a landlord that paid overtime to an HVAC company to install 3 new non-permitted HVAC units on a roof top over a weekend. The government inspectors only work week days and he didn't want them raising the appraisal value of his building.
As said by Luke, along the problem of tax revenues there is the public services such as waste and water management as well as energy distribution. In fast growing cities, you want to keep up to date in order to have you services serving all the community and also check that you don't have plenty of illegal / undeclared connection to the different networks.
We have been mapping buildings where there was no prior maps: e.g. slum fast-growing areas (see a part of it here: http://app.picterra.ch/shared_projects/a7a7bdc3-2eaf-45db-965d-e26b7203b2be) or refugee camps for instance. Moreover, in situation like planning vaccination campaigns you need to ensure updated building maps to reach all of your population in rural and remote areas.
