DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI), a leading global provider of
high-resolution earth imagery solutions, said that California's
Stanislaus County has contracted to use its Precision Aerial
Imagery to monitor changes and manage government projects across
the Central Valley county's 1,500 square mile (3,900 square
kilometer) area.
DigitalGlobe's Precision Aerial product delivers the industry's
first high-quality, wall-to-wall collection of 30 cm natural color
(RGB) and 60 cm color infrared (CIR) aerial orthomosaics covering
10 million square kilometers (four million square miles) across the
contiguous United States and Western Europe. Through an agreement
with Microsoft, premium quality imagery is acquired exclusively
using Microsoft's UltraCamG digital imaging technology to provide
comprehensive coverage with industry leading accuracy, quality and
aesthetics.
Stanislaus County GIS Manager Peou Khiek said that because
DigitalGlobe's aerial imagery is both comprehensive and constantly
refreshed, DigitalGlobe is the best single source for information.
The company's solution also reduces the time and money his county
typically spends to acquire imagery.
"We previously used multiple vendors to source our imagery,
which was not only costly but took a lot of resources to manage.
DigitalGlobe's product is easy to access. And because we can select
the specific imagery we need, it is easier on our ever-tightening
budget. Our county GIS users can now get the visual perspective to
quickly see where changes have occurred, or manage projects without
always having to go into the field. As our population increases and
growth returns, DigitalGlobe will continue to deliver the
off-the-shelf solution that simplifies the process of detecting and
managing change in the long term."
Powered by the company's Cloud Service platform, Precision
Aerial Imagery gives customers unlimited, fast and easy online
access to all existing and newly collected imagery from the
subscribed region or regions, for as long as the subscription is
active. Customers can also choose to have imagery delivered on hard
drives or via FTP/Web-based delivery. By giving customers multiple,
flexible delivery options, DigitalGlobe helps governments and
businesses make more informed decisions, tailored to the way their
business operates.
DigitalGlobe's aerial coverage is expected to expand and include
an additional six million square kilometers of refreshed coverage
over the course of the next several years.
