Eniro, the Nordic region’s largest search company, has switched to C3 Technologies’ new oblique aerial imaging solution for Eniro Maps of the top 30 cities in Sweden.
“At C3 we’re melding physical space with cyberspace”
Oblique images allow users to see the sides of buildings and other objects, which makes it much easier to recognize an address or a point of interest.
By switching to the new C3 Oblique imaging solution, Eniro for the fist time can provide unlimited panning across maps because they are built on an endless matrix. In addition, C3 Oblique offers 10-centimeter accuracy in every position, making it easy to overlay addresses, points of interest, company logos or advertisements.
Eniro is used every month by millions of consumers and companies in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Poland to easily locate where to buy services and products. Like Google Maps in the U.S., Eniro Maps is the free service of choice in the region for finding addresses and routs to business and individuals. Previously, Eniro in Sweden used oblique images from another vendor.
C3 Technologies is the leading provider of 3D mapping solutions, offering photo-realistic models of the world for search, navigation and geographic information systems. C3’s unique 3D Streets solution is already used by Eniro in all of the countries it serves.
“C3 is enabling new applications never before possible,” said Mattias Åström, C3 Technologies CEO. “By providing a life-like platform for any location-based content, application and service providers can now give their uses a new way to interactively explore and visualize any place in the world.”
C3 produces its oblique maps from many original images, so it can deliver images always in a North-South or West-East direction independent of the original flight directions, oblique images from unlimited directions, and oblique images in any angle from 0 to 45 degrees. And, because C3 also produces ortho images (90 degrees from above) and photo-realistic 3D city models from the same original data, combined solutions that integrate ortho, oblique, 3D and street views into a seamless experience for the user are now available as the platform for a new generation of social and commercial applications.
“At C3 we’re melding physical space with cyberspace,” said Åström.
