PCI Geomatics Software Assists with European Security and Emergency Management
Richmond Hill, Ontario – November 12, 2009: PCI Geomatics, a world leading developer of geo-imaging software and systems, is pleased to announce that the National Survey and Cadastre in Denmark (KMS), has selected GeoConference software to assist with the planning, monitoring and coordination of land security and environmental activities.
GeoConference is a live geospatial meeting system that operates via the internet, and allows users to share maps, imagery and data simultaneously and interactively in real-time. KMS has used and evaluated GeoConference for exercises related to oil spills at sea as well as security events that involved multiple agencies within Denmark.
The National Survey and Cadastre's vision is to provide Denmark's public sector, private companies and general public with accurate and updated geographic information about the territories and waters of Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Since 2002, the National Survey and Cadastre has been responsible for Denmark's national geographic infrastructure. The country is moving towards the implementation of a broad eGovernment strategy in which geodata will serve a central role.
"GeoConference has enabled Danish authorities to cooperate across agency borders without having to change the way they work or replace their existing management solutions," said Nils Erik Jørgensen, head of TerraNor in Norway, and PCI Geomatics Reseller Partner responsible for European marketing of GeoConference. "The different agencies are able to proceed with work as usual. GeoConference offers a very cost effective and time effective cooperation tool with a minimal investment."
"GeoConference allows KMS to provide to Danish organizations a geospatial, real-time communication infrastructure that facilitates team coordination and response amongst numerous agencies involved with security and emergency situations," said Yves Carbonneau, Chief Product Specialist at PCI Geomatics. "Through the web conferencing capabilities, decision makers can immediately share the common operational picture and be made aware of the situation – regardless as to where they are located."

PCI Geomatics Delivers an Automated Image Processing System to COTESA in Support of MGCP Requirements
Richmond Hill, Ontario – October 15, 2009: PCI Geomatics, a world leading developer of geo-imaging software and systems, is pleased to announce that it has successfully delivered an operational automated system for the orthorectification, pansharpening and mosaicking of large volumes of satellite imagery to COTESA, a privately held GIS company based in Valladolid, Spain.
The Spanish Government is working with COTESA to fulfill its requirements under the Multinational Geospatial Co-production Program (MGCP), undertaken by 28 NATO nations participating in the production of global high-resolution vector geospatial data.
Employing PCI Geomatics’ advanced component architecture (GeomaticaX), the highly automated system is used to operationally process high resolution satellite imagery from QuickBird, IKONOS and SPOT-5. The volume of data to be processed with PCI Geomatics’ ProLines, is estimated at 10,000 images over a three year period. PCI’s Proline system is highly modular, providing COTESA the ability to easily add additional processing capability, thus increasing throughput and performance as required.
"PCI Geomatics is happy to be providing an image correction system which will not only save COTESA time and money, but also produce high quality output products," said Dr. Robert Moses, President and CEO of PCI Geomatics.
"COTESA has considered the wide spectrum of image processing products in the marketplace and has chosen PCI Geomatics due to the high quality of the results provided by Geomatica's algorithms and the substantial increase in processing capability acquired with the solution implemented," said Dr. Francisca Gómez, head of COTESA’s Environment Department and responsible of the MGCP project development.
