Blom and Microsoft Renew Agreement

  04/03/2010
Blom has renewed and extended the existing agreement with Microsoft to 2014. The agreement allows Microsoft the right to use Blom's database of oblique aerial images - RealImages. The RealImages database is based on Pictometry technology, and is the most extensive library of oblique aerial images, covering more than 1,100 cities in Europe. The contract has a value between USD10 and USD14 million from January 2010 until end of the contract period.


"Blom is very satisfied being one of the main providers of services to Microsoft's Bing Maps, especially with their increased focus on their online map solution. Blom believe the contract forms an excellent basis for further expansion of the cooperation with Microsoft in a market with a very exciting future", says Nils Karbø, Chief Technical Officer Blom.


Blom will continue to provide the oblique images both offline and online through the company's own server BlomURBEX.

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories

The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
