Recently-Released NEXTMap One™ Elevation
Data Provided to Thai Officials in Support of Search and Rescue
Efforts
DENVER, July 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - (TSX: IMP)
(ITMSF:BB) - Intermap Technologies® ("Intermap" or the
"Company"), a leading provider of geospatial intelligence
solutions, congratulates first responders in their efforts to
rescue the trapped Thai soccer team. The Company is saddened by the
loss of retired Thai seal, Saman Gunan, during his mission to
deliver oxygen to the boys. Our thoughts and prayers are with all
the families and loved ones involved during this critical time.
In partnership with our local partners, Mappoint Asia Thailand
Public Company, and Chiang Rai University, Intermap supplied its
newly-released NEXTMap One, a 1-meter resolution elevation dataset,
to the Thai Department of National Parks on June 27th. This high resolution
elevation data was supplied within three hours, and used in
conjunction with other sensors to identify elevation coordinates,
prioritize potential drilling points, identify drainage paths,
provide a detailed and inter-active 3D model of the area, and
determine alternate routes into the caves to help rescue the boys.
NEXTMap One, which was provided for free, is substantially more
detailed than the existing elevation data available from commercial
and government sources.
NEXTMap One is available worldwide as either digital surface
models (DSM) or bare earth digital terrain models (DTM). It
combines the best features from multiple sensors into a seamless
global dataset, Intermap's fourth generation global dataset, that
is both highly accurate and spatially rich. In addition to the DSMs
and DTMs, a number of associated analytic products are also
available.
Elaborating on these tools, Patrick
Blott, Intermap's Chairman and CEO, said "Intermap was
pleased to assist Thai officials in their search for the missing
teens. We'd like to congratulate the international rescue
operation, the Thai Navy SEALs and the emergency responders in
Thailand on their success in
locating the boys. We hope that our data and modeling efforts will
help bring a fast resolution to this crisis without further loss of
life. We are happy to be playing a role and using our analytics to
help local University staff craft useful solutions in supporting
the rescue efforts and wish for a speedy rescue and the group to
return to friends and family as soon as possible."
