earthmine is creating a new kind of map, a pre-collected, geospatially accurate data set of the world that is accessed through an intuitive panoramic interface. This new map is accessed from the human perspective, making it instantly understandable by anyone that has ever walked around in our world. But earthmine is much more than pretty pictures. Behind every pixel in each high quality image you'll find highly accurate latitude, longitude and elevation, immediately adding three-dimensional context to existing spatial data, and providing a whole new model for data collection.
We call this process indexing reality. Our vehicles drive metropolitan areas with a calibrated camera array, collecting highly accurate and detailed data at the street level. This data is processed into a form that is deliverable over the internet as a subscription service to our customer base. The data collection and processing technology is highly scalable, allowing entire municipalities to be captured in weeks and made available to customers in near real time, providing a ready-to-use geospatially accurate inventory of our cities.

earthmine technology puts complex geospatial data in a context that is instantly understood by anyone, dramatically extending the accessibility and reach of geospatial applications. By visually connecting metadata to physical spaces, earthmine changes the geospatial data collection model, allowing virtual inventories of our cities and enabling a whole new generation of spatial applications.
earthmine just might be the key to making the promise of the GeoWeb a reality. With its unique ability to put complex geospatial data in a visual context that anyone can understand, earthmine is enabling a new generation of mapping applications.
