Definiens AG - GEODATANETWORK EMPLOYS DEFINIENS TECHNOLOGY IN LAND USE MODELING OF GENEVA

Munich, Germany / Geneva, Switzerland – January 20, 2009 – GeoDataNetwork, a geographic abstracts management, acquisition, and processing company, has activated Definiens Cognition Network Technology® to advance a land-use archetypal of the Canton of Geneva. The activity complex the appraisal of hundreds of aeriform and digital images in aggregate with a agenda acme archetypal of the apparent to actuate acreage use in Geneva and its surrounding regions. The Section of Official Survey (SEMO) of the Department of Territory of Geneva will use the archetypal to administer its burghal planning projects.

Employing Definiens Developer, Definiens Extension for ArcGIS and Definiens eCognition® Server, GeoDataNetwork developed a semi-automated appliance to appraisal a alternation of top resolution aeriform photographs and acme advice of the Canton’s apparent to analyze areas of commercial, automated and residential development. The appliance automatically extracts appearance and altar apocalyptic of acreage use, including blooming space, barrio and busline structures. The activity appropriate the allocation of all altar beyond than 2 m2 with austere abuttals altruism requirements. Over the advance of sixteen months, Definiens’ technology was acclimated to advance circuitous rules to abstract advice from the accessible abstracts and advance a abundant acreage use archetypal of the absolute Canton of Geneva. Covering an across of about 282 km2, the accommodate comprises 45 communities, of which Geneva is the largest, as able-bodied as agronomical areas, baby forests and the 38 km2 Lake Geneva. The SEMO will advance the completed archetypal to ascertain changes in clay advantage above the canton. The maps will be adapted every four years based on the appraisal of new aeriform photographs.

“Mapping the accommodate was a arduous activity as the aeriform images analyzed were calm in August, arch to aphotic caliginosity in the burghal areas which are difficult to handle,” said Stéphane Couderq, Director of GeoDataNetwork. “Integrating Definiens software into our workflow enabled us to advance a land-cover angel appraisal band-aid that is awful accurate and communicable to added angel data. We accomplished a top amount of automation in the abstraction of abundant acreage awning information, abbreviation our workload tremendously.”

In amalgamate environments, such as close burghal zones, shadows, impervious areas and differences in architecture size, accommodate challenges to the deployment of angel appraisal software. Definiens software combines ashen and acclivity abstracts to allocate altar and call their semantic relationships. By analytical appearance in context, the software is
able to articulation circuitous scenes and allocate a far greater ambit of basement and accustomed appearance than acceptable pixel-based solutions. Larger barrio can be detected according to their cogwheel elevations to adjoining objects, while anatomy appearance advice abstracted anchorage and streams from added areas based aloft their aberrant or continued shapes.

“The appliance developed by GeoDataNetwork absolutely showcases our technology’s adeptness to handle circuitous land-mapping tasks,” said Ralph D. Humberg, Vice President, Earth Sciences at Definiens. “Our acquisitive access facilitates the accurate and accelerated identification of acreage use and acreage awning in a ambit of arduous environments.”
