a developer of photogrammetry software, has announced that the Directorate of Resource Surveys & Remote Sensing (DRSRS) under the Ministry of Mining in Kenya is using Correlator3D for extensive mapping of mining activities.
The software generates orthomosaics, contour lines, and digital terrain models of fluorspar mines in the Kerio valley in Kenya.
“The DRSRS provides the Ministry of Mining with spatial information, processing hundreds of images to visualize settlements affected by mining activities to advise the Government of Kenya on compensation plans,” said Mr. Charles Situma, Deputy Director, in-charge of the project. “SimActive’s availability of experts internally allows us to receive tailored solutions to our requests, further expediting our processing.”
“We are proud to have Kenya as another of our many government users,” said Dr Philippe Simard, President of SimActive. “Correlator3D provides the diverse tools and processing power required for intensive mining applications.”
