Abstract/Contents: | Discusses image-mapping technology on the golf course, profiling Pictometry International. States that "since the inception of Rochester, [New York]-based Pictometry in 2000, its client list has comprised government agencies such as Homeland Security, highway and road planners, and public safety and law enforcement agencies." Mentions that "Pictometry is the only company that builds its image libraries from aerial photographs." Compares image-mapping technology and Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, stating that "while Pictometry's oblique imagery and resolution are unique to the indsustry, those in the GPS industry say their services offer better accuracy and more information. A GPS package typically includes walking the grounds with a GPS receiver collecting points on everything imaginable with no need to add outside GIS (Geographic Information Systems) layers." |
