The Company's highly accurate and cost-effective geometric models will be used by NOAA and the Coastal Community in California for applications such as shoreline mapping, watershed and wetlands mapping, as well as shoreline and wetland change detection and imagery orthorectification.
"We are pleased that NOAA and the residents of California will benefit from the value being derived from our NEXTMap® geometries. This solution is another great example where government agencies can make efficient use of tax dollars by licensing affordable and accurate geospatial data for vital work being done on the west coast," stated Garth Lawrence, senior vice president of business operations for Intermap Technologies.
Contracted through Sanborn of Colorado Springs, Intermap will begin providing data and training pursuant to this contract in December 2006, and NOAA's Coastal Services Center will distribute the data to members of the Coastal Management Community in California.
