Geosemble’s newest software release allows users to find relevant location information from social media and news and display it on the latest satellite imagery

-- Geosemble Technologies today released its newest version GeoXray™ 3.0 software suite for automatic visualization and analysis of information about places. The 3.0 release features the capability for filtering and visualizing content both by topic and location, delivering workflow acceleration for government and commercial users and a reduced need for trained staff. A major feature of the new release is the ability to tap public sources of satellite imagery to compare recent news and social media against the latest aerial image collections.

Commenting on the new release, Geosemble CEO Andre Doumitt noted that, “with so much new data being created every day, it’s becoming more difficult to find relevant information about places”, he said. “GeoXray 3.0 will allow users the benefit of automatic analysis of open source information as it relates to their areas of geographic focus. Further, users can now compare that information to the most recent, publicly available satellite imagery overlays, thereby integrating open source intelligence with open source imagery for a complete picture of a given area”, he said. Users of GeoXray can include anyone with a geographic area of interest, including cities with geographic boundary responsibilities, Federal Government and US Military users with areas of geographic focus, and companies with sales territories where they may be monitoring business opportunities and supply chain risk.

Citing recent customer feedback, Doumitt noted that “GeoXray 3.0 has the potential to save users 2-4 hours per day of search time” when topics of interest – business, government or humanitarian related issues – can consume vast research time from trained personnel focused on specific geographic regions.

The newest release of GeoXray contains important new capabilities that include:

• Imagery Web Services, integration of standard WMS/WFS image services to overlay imagery on top of a tile map. Geosemble can consume DigitalGlobe’s FirstLook online service, an on-demand crisis response subscription offering that delivers workflow-ready imagery content over approximately 100 zones per year.

• An Interface for linking to the DOD’s Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS)

• Statistical analysis across documents that refer to a location to retrieve unique keywords and phrases that represent that location

• Ability to filter on documents that contain photos

• Enhanced time filtering by hour and minute of source availability time

• Enhancements to the API to ensure robust capability when viewing GeoXray server content via other viewers such as BAE Systems’ GXP Xplorer and ESRI’s ArcGIS

About GeoXray

GeoXray™ is a software product that spatially enables unstructured text from the internet and other sources so that viewers can geographically “see” what’s related to a particular area of interest, either in a map view or as a list of textual content. Integrating news, blogs, tweets, YouTube and an organization’s proprietary data, the system gives users a “triple filter” of sorting by location, by topic and by time so that users can start with a place they care about and learn about things they’re interested in. GeoXray supports alert monitoring to desktop and mobile devices. The output of GeoXray can be viewed in its own native GeoXray viewer or tapped via an API and displayed on a variety of systems.
