Visualization software for ArcGIS ™ allows easy comparison of image and map data layers with Swipe, Blend, and Morph tools
December 6, 2004, Walnut Creek, CA and Berkeley, CA: GlobeXplorer, the leading provider of online aerial and satellite imagery, and Telemorphic Inc., maker of easy to use image manipulation tools for GIS, have announced the release of MapImager for ImageConnect, software that allows ArcGIS users to easily perform powerful interactive image or map comparisons within the ArcMap environment.
With one button, users can toggle between blend, swipe, change bands, and custom morphing controls. MapImager for ImageConnect adds the ability to quickly compare custom images from GlobeXplorer’s extensive online archive and integrate them directly within an ArcMap document. The software works equally well with vectors, digital imagery, aerial photos, and scanned maps.
“MapImager enables GIS users to immediately realize value from geospatial imagery without requiring specialized training, or costly and complex image processing software,” said Todd Helt, President of Telemorphic.
“In order to help customers take full advantage of the many acquisition dates of imagery we have over many areas, Telemorphic’s technology was a logical fit,” said Paul Smith, COO of GlobeXplorer. “For example, an ImageConnect customer could download a 2003 image from our online archive, download a 1997 image of the same location, and easily compare the two with MapImager’s swipe or morph controls. Seeing change in land use has never been easier.”
Customers can either purchase or receive a free watermarked trial of MapImager for ImageConnect at the GlobeXplorer website, at http://imageatlas.globexplorer.com/telemorphic/startReg.html . MapImager is compatible with ArcGIS 8.2 or higher.
