TRANSCRIPT
Continental Mapping has recently produced incredible results on a photogrammetric mapping project utilizing stereo imagery from DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-1 satellite. Tasked to perform a project for an energy company that requires frequent volumetric surveys of its stockpiles, Continental Mapping, with partner eMap International, acquired stereo satellite imagery of the target area. Even given the
di� culty of photogrammetric compilation of a pure black coal pile, Continental Mapping’s experienced photogrammetrists were able to tie the imagery to existing control and produce 2-foot contours. An independent analysis by the client using aerial photogrammetric mapping showed Continental Mapping’s volumetric analysis was within 1% of the traditional aerial method’s results.
Volumetric Mapping… From Space!
- Mapping from Earth, Sky, and Space -
Continental Mapping welcomed Wisconsin Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (WI-2) to our headquarters o� ce recently for a tour and a discussion of small business needs in the current economy. Continental Mapping is pleased by the support Ms. Baldwin has shown small businesses like ours, and we are grateful for her sponsorship of
the FLAIR Act, a bill to reduce duplication in federal land inventory and mapping e� orts. Ms. Baldwin (shown at right with Continental Mapping sta� Eric Po� enberger and Jason Vande Hey) also tested her 3-D stereomapping skills in our commercial photogrammetry department and passed with � ying colors!
