Data Mapper Advances Its Aerial Processing, Management And Analysis Software To Service Growing Network Of UAV Platforms

Data Mapper, an enterprise aerial data software, today announced it will expand its cloud-based platform to ingest data collected by a wider network of UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] providers. The application provides the ability to upload, store, process and share aerial imagery and is equipped for detailed, automated analysis.

Previously the company was known under the name PrecisionMapper and could only be utilized when collecting aerial data with the PrecisionHawk UAV platform, the Lancaster HawkEye Mark III.

“As we begin to collect data with PrecisionHawk UAV across data intense industries, we discovered a clear gap in the market for an end-to-end enterprise level solution,” said Christopher Dean, CEO of Data Mapper.

“The creation of Data Mapper was a way for us to ensure that what matters most to our customers, the ability to transform aerial data into acitionable information, was available quickly and cost effectively.”

Post processing is automated, and processed data can be shared across devices or analyzed using sophisticated algorithms. Data Mapper geospatial experts have been working closely with university partners across the nation to determine the most pressing algorithms for the agriculture industry such as plant height, weed detection, plant counting, canopy cover, among others.

Due to its early integration with the PrecisionHawk platform, Date Mapper has a strong client base that includes Fortune 500 companies, top global agricultue companies, education and reserch institutions and individual agricultural producers. Users of integration with the PrecisionHawk platform, Data Mapper has a strong client base that includes Fortune 500 companies, top global agriculture companies, education and research institutions and individual agricultural producers. Users of the application recognize the value in a streamlined data management solution that fosters collaboration.

As the UAV industry quickly expands, data intensive markets, like agriculture, can be equipped with a streamlined, information delivery structure that fits into an everyday workflow. Engineers have bootstrapped the technology to ensure seamless integration with workflows that rely heavily on accurate information to support business practices.

“UAVs are an extemely effective and efficient means for collecting data, but the value of this technology goes far beyond an aircraft,” said Andrew Slater, VP of Software Development for Data Mapper. “Data Mapper is a tool designed to close the gap between a service that UAVs provide and the value of that service, which is information delivery to the right person at the right time.”

The company has worked with data sets across a variety of industries including agriculture, oil and gas, emergency response, forestry and insurance and will continue to extend their analysis capabilities to different markets. Data Mapper will significantly grow its employee base, hiring geospatial analysts, software engineers and embedded software engineers to work toward a generalized ingestion method for all UAV data in 2015.
