DMCii has announced the selection of 5 science projects that will receive free satellite imagery from the DMC satellite constellation. In December 2008, scientists were invited to compete for the opportunity to use the DMC multi-spectral satellite image data in their research projects. »»0 comment(s)
Bluesky has launched a digital map layer accurately modelling the location and extent of trees and their proximity to buildings. Designed to aid insurance assessors, property developers and Local Authority Planners, ProximiTREE details the exact spatial location and height of individual trees together with the circumference of its canopy. From this information a determination can be made of the root extent and the potential impact on either existing or proposed properties. »»0 comment(s)

Mobexx has launched a transport innovation for bus and coach operators in the UK that has already won over important transit organisations in North America. The ‘Mentor Streets' computer-aided despatch and automatic vehicle location system provides a one-box real-time vehicle information, navigation and communication solution. Evidence from users in the US shows that customer service levels and operational efficiency is significantly improved with this intelligent transport system (ITS).

Getmapping has released details of its ‘AZICAM' oblique camera system. The system is used to capture sharp full colour oblique digital images of towns and cities. When combined with traditional vertical imagery and desktop software users have a rich multidimensional viewing environment, that can be explored, measured and even exported for use in presentations or as building blocks for full 3D modelling. »»0 comment(s)
NASA and Japan released a new digital topographic map of Earth Monday that covers more of our planet than ever before. The map was produced with detailed measurements from NASA's Terra spacecraft. The new global digital elevation model of Earth was created from nearly 1.3 million individual stereo-pair images collected by the Japanese Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer, or ASTER, instrument aboard Terra. NASA and Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), developed the data set. It is available online to users everywhere at no cost.
