Web Mapping Service to be Hosted

  21/04/2010
GeoEye has signed an addition to a contract with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) to provide web mapping services under the NGA's Rapid Delivery of Online GEOINT (RDOG) programme. GeoEye's dissemination system provides users secure access to unclassified, high-resolution colour imagery of an entire country over the Web. The colour imagery is acquired by the GeoEye-1 Earth-imaging satellite and then disseminated in near real-time to a wide spectrum of users, including forward-deployed US military personnel, intelligence community personnel and DoD map production staff.



The dissemination system is compliant with Open Geospatial Consortium standards for geospatial and location-based information and Web mapping services.


Chris Incardona, GeoEye's director of Government Programs - NGA, commented, "The RDOG program is a natural extension of our core capability in delivering high-quality imagery products. This significant award to host near real-time satellite imagery and serve government users around the globe is a major step forward in providing end-to-end solutions. In the future, users should expect Web services to include sensor-agnostic source capabilities that integrate best-of-class industry standards and applications."


Brian O'Toole, GeoEye's chief technology officer, added, "This program illustrates the evolution in geospatial intelligence: collection, advanced production and dissemination are now offered in an integrated service delivered through a next-generation Web-services platform. We are pleased to have the opportunity to work closely with the NGA to advance the quality of the data products while enabling timely, on-demand access and delivery."

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.
