ImageAmerica, Inc. is Awarded Orthoimagery Project in Hamilton County TN


February 25, St. Louis, MO -- 2001 ImageAmerica Inc. announced that it had been awarded a contract to provide its TerraSource®, DirectOrtho Update product to Hamilton County TN. ImageAmerica was notified that following a public bidding process its proposal had been accepted by the County. Tom Maher, Chief Operating Officer of ImageAmerica said, "Hamilton County joins a growing list of municipal governments who have embraced the benefits of our new technology products. Using our Direct Digital Aerial Camera system we have already collected imagery, and with the abilities inherent in our automated orthophoto processing system we will provide new orthophotos for Hamilton County in a few weeks."

Al Butler, Director of GIS for Hamilton County said, “ImageAmerica has developed an innovative process that starts with a new digital image rather than the traditional photographic images used by other firms. The process depends on our existing digital elevation models (DEMs), which were developed as part of the State pilot project for property mapping in 1997, and reconciliation with existing digital orthophotographs. The result is reduced cost for updating our GIS base map.”

"TerraSource products provide the advantages of wide-area Direct Digital aerial collection, with the fast turnaround speed provided by automated processing," continued Maher. "As a result, we can provide new, high-resolution, mapping imagery on an annual basis to customers, at a price they find quite attractive."

ImageAmerica has developed and operates the worlds only commercial panoramic direct digital aerial camera system. The Company provides near real-time proprietary imagery and processed products under the TerraSource® brand name, for government and municipal customers.
