HJW TO PROVIDE ORTHOPHOTOGRAPHY FOR HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT

Oakland, California, September 16, 2005 – HJW GeoSpatial (HJW), Inc. has been awarded a contact to produce color orthophotos for a 134 square mile area of Butte County, CA. The mapping project is located in the Desabla-Centerville area, and is in support of a hydroelectric project for a major utility company.

Color photography will be acquired at a scale of 1:12,000 (1” = 1000’), utilizing airborne GPS/IMU for positioning. The film will be scanned at a resolution of 21 microns (1210 dpi), facilitating the production of orthophotos with a pixel size of one foot. The terrain data used to generate the orthophotos will be produced using a combination of USGS DTM and auto-correlated DTM. Once generated, the orthophotos will be seamlessly mosaicked and broken up into a regular tiling scheme.
