MDA Information Systems LLC (MDA) announces a strategic partnership with BlackBridge to develop a change monitoring solution for RapidEye.

Combining MDA’s patented Persistent Change Monitoring (PCM™) technology which uses scale- and sensor- independent algorithms to detect change that persists over a period of time, such as new construction and other permanent changes in infrastructure, with BlackBridge’s multispectral RapidEye imagery, users can now locate small-scale changes down to 5 by 5 meters, enabling updates to cartographic datasets down to 1:5,000 scale.

Scott Douglass, BlackBridge’s product manager stated, “BlackBridge is committed to providing customers and partners with products that support their bottom-line. We want to find easier, more cost-effective ways to serve our partners and customers. RapidEye PCM™ is our response to our customer’s need for a simpler, less costly way to update cartographic datasets.”

Noted Roger Mitchell, Senior Vice President of MDA Information Systems LLC, “With the launch of RapidEye PCM™, MDA Information Systems LLC and BlackBridge have an opportunity to make a significant breakthrough in geospatial productivity.”
