| ESRI Selects HJW to Fly Santa Monica Mountains
HJW GeoSpatial (HJW) Inc. has been chosen by Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) Inc. to acquire aerial photography of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. Located north of Malibu and west of Hollywood, this is the last undeveloped region in western Los Angeles County. Approximately 900 exposures of true-color photography will be shot at a 1:1000 scale of this 600-square-mile area and employed in support of a vegetation classification project.
HJW has worked on similar projects for ESRI, including color photography of the National Park at Joshua Tree, Calif. The company also acquired stunning color infrared (CIR) photography of Glacier National Park, Mont., in which the glaciers were depicted as stark white, the lakes as brilliant blue, and the lush forests as candy-apple red.
HJW offers custom professional services that include aerial photography, photogrammetry, digital orthophotography, topographic and planimetric mapping, remote sensing, and GIS.

RSI to Help Manage Water Resources in Bangladesh
The government of Canada, through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), has awarded to the Information and Communications Technology division of RADARSAT International (RSI) a contract to develop an information network in the Asian country of Bangladesh.
This information network will focus on environmental monitoring for water resource management. The Environmental Monitoring Information Network (EMIN) will be used at both local and national levels to help villagers predict environmental incidents of flood or drought, and allow Bangladeshi authorities to address multiple water-use issues.
With a large population and geography that is dominated by lowland floodplains and rivers, water management is the key to life in Bangladesh. EMIN is expected to provide Bangladeshis with centralized access to water-related information and the potential for better long-term understanding of water processes. The heart of EMIN will be a Web-based network that uses water information from several sources, including Earth-observation satellites, river gauges, and weather sensors. This project is being undertaken with the financial support of the government of Canada, with funds provided through the Canadian International Development Agency.
RADARSAT International is a worldwide provider of products and information solutions derived from Earth-observation (EO) satellite data. The ICT Dev Group, a division of RSI, develops Web-based information networks in support of agriculture, hydrology, and environment-related resource management issues.
Further information on this project is available through the media relations office of the Canadian International Development Agency. Tel: (819) 953-6534. E-mail: [email protected].

Web-based Mapping Service Offers Large-format Printing
Syncline Inc. has added large-format printing capabilities to MapCiti(tm), its fully automated, Web-based mapping service for cities, towns, and government agencies. MapCiti(tm) is the first hosted mapping service to offer large-format, high-resolution printing capabilities on the Web, giving municipalities the functionality they need to move their entire mapping operations online.
MapCiti™'s new large-format, high-resolution vector printing capability allows users to print out detailed maps in the highly favored 33-by-44-inch (E4) size, using the Adobe PDF format. In the past, static images of map sub-sections were used to make copies on a plotter. As a result, maps tended to be out-of-date, limited to a set area, and costly to print. With MapCiti™, everyone from the town planner to the local builder can easily print up-to-date maps.
Syncline Inc. provides Web-based mapping solutions for business and government organizations. These solutions connect databases to maps, revealing patterns, trends, and relationships not easily identified through the use of other tools.

ERDAS® Releasing IMAGINE OrthoBASE Pro™
ERDAS® Inc. announces its upcoming release of IMAGINE OrthoBASE Pro™, a new ERDAS IMAGINE(r) add-on module that automatically extracts DTMs (digital terrain models) directly from imagery. IMAGINE OrthoBASE Pro is an upgrade to IMAGINE OrthoBASE™, a digital photogrammetry system that uses increased automation and innovative block triangulation techniques to reduce the time and costs typically associated with creating ortho-accurate images for a GIS.
IMAGINE OrthoBASE Pro uses sophisticated and rigorous artificial intelligence techniques to automatically extract elevation information from imagery. Digital image-matching techniques, commonly used for machine vision, automatically identify and match image points that appear on overlapping areas of a stereo pair. Once the correct image positions have been identified and matched, the elevation for the ground point is automatically computed. All of the extracted 3D ground points are subsequently used to create a digital terrain model.

Using the Cyclop-3D System Over Linear Rights-of-Way
Cyclop-3D technology, developed by GEO-3D, is now available either as a value-added alternative or a complement to aerial photography and other remote sensing technologies. The GEO-3D solution is based upon the use of digital cameras that are set up aboard an aircraft. Managers of linear rights-of-way can take advantage of the system's stereoscopic image viewing and photogrammetric features to measure objects, geo-position elements, and export data directly into a Geographic Information System (GIS). This technology also provides a feature to compare imagery captured at different dates or with different camera angles, whether oblique or vertical.
The Cyclop-3D has been recognized as a promising alternative to traditional land surveying methods, especially for studying linear structural elements. Integrating the Cyclop-3D system can assist project managers in controlling vegetation growth and/or land use in rights-of-way, planning and monitoring pipeline infrastructures planning for roads or electric lines, and monitoring other types of infrastructures such as dams, dikes, etc.
Geo-3D Inc. offers products and services in the field of geographic information technologies.
