DigitalGlobe Provides Superior Precision Aerial Imagery for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
April 02 2012 - 8:30AM
Marketwired
DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI), a leading global provider of
high-resolution earth imagery solutions, today announced their
agreement with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to provide
statewide Precision Aerial imagery that exceeds the requirements of
the Massachusetts state Geographic Information System (MassGIS)
Department.
In order to improve response time and preparedness for natural
disasters and to enhance information about state geography, the
Massachusetts Department of Transportation and the Massachusetts
Emergency Management Agency will use DigitalGlobe's Precision
Aerial imagery to create superior baseline maps at a lower cost and
higher resolution.
"DigitalGlobe's aerial imagery can be shared across any state
agency under this agreement, enhancing its value to the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts," said Rafay Khan, senior vice
president at DigitalGlobe. "Using this model, these images can
offer the flexibility to benefit any state government for land
management, disaster relief, and zoning and elevation data."
DigitalGlobe's Precision Aerial product offers complete leaf-off
coverage, meaning that before the spring leaves arrive, the imagery
displays a clear view of buildings, new developments and
transportation routes. This off-the-shelf product delivers the most
recent imagery with a faster turnaround rate and delivery. These
features make procurement easier within the state, speeding the
procurement process and lowering the overall cost.
About DigitalGlobe Precision Aerial
Imagery The Precision Aerial product has a 30 cm resolution
and 60 cm color infrared aerial mosaics with seamless coverage in
the U.S. and Western Europe. Complete coverage of the U.S. will be
mapped by June 2012, with additional refreshed coverage over the
next few years. It integrates directly into any GIS workflow to
provide application-ready imagery with high-resolution and
best-in-class accuracy levels. With current, relevant, and broad
coverage, Precision Aerial imagery becomes the one-stop-shop for
any government agency or enterprise looking to tackle tough issues,
from land use and zoning, to transportation and the
environment.
