LandBase™ provides classification down to individual property level

Leicester, UK / Munich, Germany – March 5, 2008 – Infoterra Ltd, a leader in the provision of geospatial products and services, uses Definiens’ market leading object-based image analysis to produce land cover classifications at the highest resolution, down to individual property level.

Infoterra’s new land cover mapping product, LandBase™ demonstrates the trend among geospatial data providers towards the provision of value-added products and services. Products such as LandBase are becoming an increasingly important differentiator in a competitive marketplace. Definiens technology is a key value-adding enabler in this process.

“Definiens software was an essential tool to our land cover classification process. The enterprise architecture allows us to develop solutions within our R&D team which can be easily adjusted in the production process. Together with the robust client-server architecture, the delivery of high quality value-added products is much faster” stated Andrew Tewkesbury, Product Development, Infoterra Ltd. “The semi-automated solution we developed for LandBase provides us with a successful model for delivery of future value-added products.”

“Infoterra’s LandBase product demonstrates what can be accomplished with an effective deployment of the Definiens Enterprise Image Intelligence® Suite, which is specifically designed to enable the development of value-added products,” states Ralph Humberg, VP Earth Sciences at Definiens. “We believe that LandBase will provide an enormous advantage for Infoterra in the UK.”
