GeoTango, a leading supplier of 3D/2D mapping and visualization software, announced today that it has sold its SilverEye software to the city of Mississauga.The city will employ SilverEye to populate its GIS systems with building height information and as a 3D visualization tool for development planning purposes.

SilverEye is the best way to rapidly generate 3D models of urban areas and facilities of interest.It uniquely builds 3D models and can obtain 2D and 3D measurements using only a single satellite or aerial image.Building textures can be applied using information from the imagery, employing a texture library or from ground photographs.Unlike traditional solutions, SilverEye does not require stereo image pairs and expensive hardware systems.Results can be exported to popular GIS and OpenFlight formats.

Mississauga is Canada's sixth largest and fastest growing major city with a population of 695,000 residents.

"The city of Mississauga has an outstanding reputation in taking advantage of geospatial solutions to meet their needs as a fast growing city" says Mike Pastushak, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at GeoTango."We are pleased that they have selected SilverEye to help meet their 3D measurement and visualization requirements."

"As the city of Mississauga continues to grow there are greater demands on our GIS and planning systems" says David Marion, Manager - Land Information Systems."With SilverEye we can not only update our GIS databases with building elevations but we can also visualize the impact of new developments on the existing cityscape.SilverEye will be a welcomed addition to our current set of CAD and GIS tools."

Towards a Global Licensing Framework for Geospatial Data

Is it time for a global licensing framework for geospatial data? The GSDI Legal and Economic Working group thinks so and offered a presentation and a way forward at the GSDI 13 conference held in Quebec City in May. The effort aims to harmonize existing licensing without changing fundamental access policies and funding models and be compatible with the diferences in national legal systems. That's a tall order, but an important one as the world moves toward geodata sharing. Geoff Zeiss reports.
