News & Technology – Earthmine (Berkeley CA) is a game changer

With great applicability to a myriad of sectors (critical infrastructure, urban planning, facilities, special events, crisis mapping, immersive gaming, special effects, etc.), this technology is truly the ‘missing link’ between our various satellite/aerial ortho (top down) sensors, obliques (Pictometry), flat and contentious Google Streetview and the highly accurate, but slower HDS & BIM (Building Information Models) realms. Make sure to see their booth and team at the 2010 ESRI UC in San Diego. Bravo and well done, Earthmine…
