Home > What We Do > Software & Consulting > Sanborn Oblique Analyst®

Sanborn Oblique Analyst® is a web-based oblique imagery viewer featuring a suite of easy-to-use tools designed for real-time desktop analysis of information in oblique imagery. The angles inherent to oblique imagery allow oblique software users to see not only the tops of objects, but they can see the sides as well, making all five views of objects (four-45 degree views and the nadir view) accessible for visual research and measurement.

Oblique software is a valuable asset for users such as assessors and appraisers, with tools that perform a number of functions, such as: allowing viewers to select views by panning and zooming within the project area, zoom in and out with a slider bar, or to navigate in the imagery with the traditional hand cursor. The Oblique imagery viewer’s interface includes tools dedicated to accurate measurement of height, length and area, as well as utilities for annotation and search. To help users keep track of their exact location within the project area at all times, the viewer displays a built-in compass and an overview map. For convenience, users can quickly locate specific addresses in any dataset using the Sanborn Oblique Analyst®’s addressing feature. The software operates in a server environment and is accessed and utilized via a custom online viewer. It also can be published to a client network while allowing for integration with other software environments.
