Southern Mapping Company Adds Satellite Imagery

  28/07/2010
Southern Mapping Company (SMC) recently sold its first batch of high-resolution satellite imagery, acquired from DigitalGlobe's Worldview 2 satellite over some 6500sq km to assist with mineral exploration and railway route planning. The Worldview 2 satellite captures imagery in up to eight multispectral bands at the highest resolution currently available from commercial spacecraft, 50cm.



Says Norman Banks, New Business Director for SMC: "We have a distribution agreement with the satellite operator, Digital Globe, which allows us to provide cost effective solutions from this technology. They supply the data to us as individual images and our processing department ortho-rectify and mosaic the images in house".


The satellite image products allow SMC to expand its product offerings to accommodate the growing complexity of client requests.

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.
