United States Intermap Tender

Intermap Technologies announced today the release of NEXTMap Orthorectification an accurate cost-effective worldwide and fast satellite imagery enhancement service. Available as a cloud-based secure application or professional service depending upon user needs NEXTMap Orthorectification uniquely leverages Intermaps highly-accurate and worldwide NEXTMap One terrain model DTM to produce precise results anywhere in the world.Pictures taken from space whether radar or optical are linear representations of terrain while in reality the Earths surface is curved. Orthorectification is the process of providing correction to satellite images so they more accurately represent the Earths true surface. Intermaps high-resolution NEXTMap elevation provides anchor points on Earth which correct satellite images for their linear distortion and allows these images to rectify and become aligned with other datasets. As satellite resolution and capability improve Intermaps patented NEXTMap data is critical to enabling accurate imagery particularly in high-slope areas.NEXTMap Orthorectification is particularly important today as the number of Earth observation satellites grows exponentially with low Earth orbit launches alone expected to more than double the number of satellites in space over the next five years. Anticipating growing demand Intermap developed NEXTMap Orthorectification combining the Companys highly-accurate NEXTMap data with an orthorectification service in one package in a cloud-native pay-per-use service. Typical accuracy from high resolution satellite vendors range from 3-meters to 30-meters CE90 error. Many organizations have difficulty delivering high-quality images on their own due to factors such as the high cost of procuring accurate elevation models availability of high-resolution data in the geographic area of interest and inconsistencies in data quality and specification These difficulties can increase the cost of a final delivered satellite image by as much as 50.NEXTMap Orthorectification greatly reduces this cost while accelerating the speed of processing and enabling delivered imagery from anywhere on Earth in a fraction of the time with improved accuracies to better than 1-meter. Customers experience superior quality lower cost greater speed and flexibility without the need to purchase external terrain data hardware or software.The explosion of satellite images and providers means quality speed accuracy and cost matter. NEXTMap Orthorectification provides businesses with an easy-to-use cost-effective solution to provide fast high-quality imagery anywhere on the globe commented Patrick Blott Chairman and CEO of Intermap. Our customers get improved accuracy for mapping engineering GEOINT and other applications that cannot be duplicated on a global scale using any other commercial DTM.Intermap has a long history of providing highly-accurate elevation models to many industries across the globe. NEXTMap DTM is used by commercial and government customers and is field-proven for orthorectification. Intermap has been providing orthorectification as a professional service both commercially and to governments in classified and unclassified settings for more than 18 years starting as a prime contractor for the Space Shuttle Topography Mission SRTM. NEXTMap Orthorectification supports both optical and radar imagery at any resolution from a wide range of satellite sensors.
