Continental Mapping used satellite imagery from DigitalGlobe's WorldView-1 satellite to create detailed 2-foot contours and volumetric surveys of a coal stockpile for an energy company. Their analysis was within 1% of an independent analysis using traditional aerial photogrammetry. Continental Mapping also welcomed a congresswoman to discuss support for small businesses and federal mapping efforts.

1. Continental Mapping has recently
produced incredible results on a
photogrammetric mapping project
utilizing stereo imagery from
DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-1 satellite.
Tasked to perform a project for
an energy company that requires
frequent volumetric surveys of its
stockpiles, Continental Mapping,
with partner eMap International,
acquired stereo satellite imagery
of the target area. Even given the
difficulty of photogrammetric
compilation of a pure black coal pile,
Continental Mapping’s experienced
photogrammetrists were able to
tie the imagery to existing control
and produce 2-foot contours. An
independent analysis by the client
using aerial photogrammetric
mapping showed Continental
Mapping’s volumetric analysis
was within 1% of the traditional
aerial method’s results.

Continental Mapping welcomed
Wisconsin Congresswoman
Tammy Baldwin (WI-2) to our
headquarters office recently for
a tour and a discussion of small
business needs in the current
economy. Continental Mapping
is pleased by the support Ms.
Baldwin has shown small
businesses like ours, and we are
grateful for her sponsorship of
the FLAIR Act, a bill to reduce
duplication in federal land
inventory and mapping efforts.
Ms. Baldwin (shown at right
with Continental Mapping staff
Eric Poffenberger and Jason
Vande Hey) also tested her 3-D
stereomapping skills in our
commercial photogrammetry
department and passed with
flying colors!
