BlomSTREET™
BlomSTREET™ is a collection of georeferenced, high-resolution, 360 degree panoramic images that are photographed from ground level.
A key feature of BlomSTREET™ is that compared to other free street services on the web, such as Google Street View™, users have the ability to take measurements directly from the imagery. It's also possible to save data in various file formats. Metadata is included, meaning it’s possible to know exactly what time and day the images were captured. Customers are also entitled to use and download images within their own operations.
Blom already provide customers with a wide range of different datasets and BlomSTREET™ is fully accessible next to our other services, such as BlomOBLIQUE™ and BlomORTHO™.
The technology behind BlomSTREET™ comes from the Dutch company CycloMedia. BlomSTREET™ is delivered as a cloud service where the customer receives images and functionality delivered via a web service. No storage of data is necessary for the client. This also allows functions and data to be continually updated without the customer requiring new installations.
The camera equipment used is mounted on the roof of a specially equipped car and captures on average an image every five meters. Image quality is high and boast a high-resolution of 4,800 x 2,400 pixels. Each picture is oriented and all digitalization is geo-referenced to existing geodetic reference system in plan and elevation. The positioning is performed via GPS technology with accuracy down to 0.10 m. The web service allows digitizing for updating of maps and geographic databases. This can easily be performed by the user in the high-resolution images.
Blom integrates Cyclomedia API services into its own geo-server platform, BlomURBEX ™, allowing for a variety of features in the web application.
