| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the use of overhead imagery to "provide landscape maintenance and lawn care companies" with information on measuring and pricing jobs. Explains that "this technology makes it possible to offer a more sophisticated quote...for commericial applications, using both high-resolution oblique imagery and ortho-imagery." States that "given the landscape industry's marketing and operations need for precise measurements, the wide coverage of overhead imagery, the improvements in image analytics and geocoding and the emergence of companies focused on building information bases from overhead imagery, it's possible that eventually a nationwide, by-address, turf-size database will be compiled." |
