Cities Revealed Updates Cambridgeshire County Council

Cambridge UK, 29 April 2002 -- The GeoInformation� Group announces that Cambridgeshire County Council has recently chosen Cities Revealed Updates� high-resolution aerial photography to help monitor Cambridgeshire's major mineral and waste development sites.

The GeoInformation Group's revolutionary CR Updates programme provides Cambridgeshire County Council with a fast, flexible and regular method of data acquisition. For the second consecutive year under this programme, the council has commissioned over 30 disparate sites of digital aerial photography totaling an area of 60 square kilometres. The data, flown at 1:5000 resulting in a resolution of 12.5 cm, currently provides the council with an unprecedented level of detail for the Cambridgeshire region, ensuring that their existing orthophoto database is kept accurate and up to date.

The County Council requires current aerial photography on a regular basis to closely monitor mineral extraction activity and waste disposal for both local and regional plans. The Cities Revealed data, which is bundled with its own free data viewing software CRImage Manager v3.0, enables the council to instantly and effortlessly compare and contrast its temporal data sets through multiple viewing windows as well as through its blend and swipe functionality. In particular, this will be highly beneficial in determining which areas have been excavated or restored since the acquisition of aerial photography from previous years.

The data also lends itself as an invaluable visual tool within committee presentations especially in enforcement cases where an instant snapshot of a specific site of interest can be viewed negating the need for site visits.

"We have chosen Cities Revealed Updates as it enables us to effectively monitor sensitive sites all over the county through the use of current and highly detailed aerial photography", comments Tim Marks, Planning Support Assistant at Cambridgeshire County Council. "The imagery provides us with a valuable source of information for applications such as development control, mineral extraction monitoring, and planning applications and disputes. The ability to pick and choose the areas to be surveyed on a frequent basis offers us a cost-effective solution that replaces the more traditional methods of site surveying".
