Yotta MVS Completes Collection Phase of British Columbia Imagery Project

Yotta MVS (the 3D mapping division of OMG plc [LSE:OMG]), a leader in street-level image collection and field data verification services, has recently completed the collection phase of an imagery and geo-referencing project for British Columbia Assessment Authority. 

Yotta MVS is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed a pilot project for British Columbia Assessment Authority (BC Assessment).  Yotta MVS was contracted by BC Assessment to provide street-view imagery and CAMA sketch geo-referencing services for 25,000 parcels in the City of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.

The collection project began in late June and was completed in late July.  In that time, Yotta MVS staff captured images of each structure using high-resolution cameras.  Each photo was specially framed to provide maximum quality and to minimize obstructions like foliage.  Additionally, personally identifiable objects like people and vehicle registrations were avoided or completely removed from images.  While in the field, staff verified the street address of each structure imaged. 

In addition to street-level images, Yotta MVS completed CAMA sketch geo-referencing services for the assessment authority.  An ESRI shape layer of building sketches was created, then rotated and geo-referenced over orthophotography. The advanced digital images and updated addressing will allow BC Assessment to effectively and efficiently review existing and newly improved parcels; while the sketch geo-referencing output will provide an invaluable tool with which to ensure the accuracy of existing sketch data and in locating additions which are not yet accounted for.
