eMap Proprietary ImageBoost

In the works for over a year, eMap International is proud to unveil its one-of-a-kind image enhancement process known as ImageBoost. Designed for any raster dataset, the ImageBoost process will maximize the spatial information often hidden behind deep shadows, over-saturation, poor color balancing and light haze; and will thus maximize the value of every geospatial dollar you spend.

ImageBoost is a proprietary multi-stage process that employs both automated techniques as well as manual intervention to deliver you a ready-to-use imagery product with enhanced colors and crisper edges. While ImageBoost cannot change the inherent resolution of your data, it can unveil features lost by most completely automated processing techniques. ImageBoost is robust enough to be used to improve existing raster datasets you may already own. Check out the following comparison of the ImageBoost process to decide if it is right for you.

On-Demand High-Resolution Imagery Solutions

Recognizing the growing need for readily accessible databases of high-resolution imagery, eMap International now offers ImageBuilder, ImageConnect and ImageConnect WMS. ImageBuilder allows clients to create their own online mapping portals with direct access to the world's largest library of QuickBird, WorldView and aerial imagery. ImageConnect and ImageConnect WMS gives clients access to this same database of high-resolution imagery via ArcGIS, Autodesk, MapInfo Professional or any Web Mapping Service (WMS) enabled software package.
