ImageTree Corp. Inks Lidar Licensing Deal with Blom Group, Europe's Largest Collector, Processor of Map, Image Information
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Business Wire EON) July 15, 2008 -- Lidar, a remote-sensing system used to aerially collect topographic data, is a critical component of ImageTree's ForestSense technology platform, which provides precise, timely and cost-effective forest inventory analysis, and enables assessment of carbon sequestration.
"This formalizes a longstanding technology relationship between ImageTree and Blom in the United States and Canada, and extends ImageTree's marketing presence to the European front," said ImageTree CEO Mark Redlus.
Redlus explained that the Oslo, Norway-based company [OSE: BLO has been in the mapping business for more than a half-century, is the European leader in collecting and processing map and image data, and is among the world's largest collectors of aerial geographic information, with dozens of aircraft platforms located from North Africa to Finland.
"This agreement extends patent protection to the lidar component of ImageTree's system, which has its own patents covering the technology and methodology for extracting and interpreting remotely sensed information acquired with lidar and high-resolution color infrared imagery (CIR)," said Jan Biström, managing director of Blom Kartta, the Blom division responsible for aerial photography and digital mapping solutions. "Our lidar component is used to automatically detect relationships between individual tree-crown characteristics and the associated trees.
"The agreement puts both of our companies in enviable marketplace positions," Biström continued. "No one else on either side of the pond can now offer the complete Blom-ImageTree package of unique technology solutions."
Added Redlus: "We've solidified our relationship with a true leader in topographical data collection and a visionary in remote sensing, ensuring that we can provide our customers with the best possible path to generating more timely data and achieving better environmental practices, improved lifecycle management, and increased financial performance."
