Imagery Projects/Resources

Satellite & Aerial Imagery

i-cubed is partnered with the leading satellite and aerial imagery providers to offer the most comprehensive geospatial imagery solutions for our clients. We have access to all major commercial satellite imagery providers and can seamlessly submit archive orders or schedule new collections for your area of interest. We provide our clients with the convenience of placing one request and getting back all the available imagery options they need to make an informed and accurate decision.

Other Map Data

In addition to imagery, i-cubed can provide many other types of geospatial data, including: vector databases, terrain, topographic maps and land use analysis.

Our Clients

Some of our clients include the Army Geospatial CenterImagery Office (AGC), for whom we have deployed DataDoorsTM, Geographic Data on Demand Service for approximately 15TB of raster imagery; Yahoo! Maps; where we created over 700 individual 1 meter resolution satellite imagery mosaics globally; USDA Forest Service Geospatial Service & Technology Center, for whom we provided a multisource 1-2 meter aerial photography mosaic of the conterminous United States; Northrop Grumman, for whom we created a 15m mosaic for various parts of the world ; NASA, under a NASA funded research project focused on evaluating the use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for developing more accurate land use and radio frequency attenuation maps for the telecommunications industry; NOKIA Networks, where we worked on Land Use/Land Classification (Clutter) derivation, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), and transportation vectors for the US, Brazil and Peru; Leap Wireless/Cricket Communications for whom we developed Land Use/Land Classification derivation for major US cities for use in telecommunications network planning and design; SPOT Image Corp, whom we created the seamless 10m simulated RGB SPOT USA Select mosaic of the conterminous USA for; USDA: Natural Resources Conservation Service, for whom we developed a Landsat TM mosaic of Arizona and SPOT and IRS1-C processing for urban corridors in New Mexico and Arizona; and many more. We also have strong relationships and have performed work for the major commercial/government satellite operators including GeoEye, DigitalGlobe,SPOT & USGS.

Knowledge and Experience with Federal / State Regulations

A review of our technical capabilities and experience will clearly show our extensive experience with both federal and local governmental entities. Prior to entering into agreements with our clients, including our government clients, we have to have a clear understanding of not only the technical requirements of our proposed work, but also a working knowledge of the contracts, including Terms and Conditions, special clauses incorporated by reference and equally important the “state-of-the-law” with regards to evolving environmental laws and regulations. However, our work does not affect or impact the physical environment. The current “working” environmental laws and regulations do not address the work that we perform. The GIS services and products that we provide are in support of groups working with regulatory agencies on air quality, fish and wildlife conservation, water quality, as well as other environmental disciplines.

We have been involved in government or government-related contracting since 1995 when i-cubed was established.

3. Services & Capabilities

The services that we provide are encompassed in three major categories:

  • Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
  • Image Processing
  • Geospatial Applications Programming and Development

These functions are often combined for clients in providing turn-key technical consulting or project services. These services, however, can be categorized and described as follows:

  • Technical Services
  • Project Services
  • Manpower Base
  • Methods of Quality Control
  • Safety & Accident Prevention

Technical Services

Technical services are grouped as discrete tasks that have specific inputs, and require specific outputs that result from well-defined and documented methodologies and procedures. We have a number of Image Processing and GIS technical services that are provided on a routine basis, including:

GIS

  • Data conversion
  • Data compilation

  • Change detection
  • Crop type and crop health mapping
  • Feature extraction

Project Services

Project services are comprised of a combination of technical and management functions that include GIS, image processing, and software development tasks, or some combination of all three. Project services require definition at the beginning of schedules, procedures, methodologies, and deliverables. We provide the following project services to our clients as they directly relate to our GIS and Image Processing services

  • GIS Web based database and mapping application development
  • GIS/Image Processing Database design
  • GIS/Image Processing Database development and implementation
  • GIS/Image Processing Database management systems

Manpower Base

Parallel to our growth, in volume, as a company since our inception in 1995, has been growth from four to 62 full time staff employees, representing a growth rate of over 500 %.

We are located along Colorado’s Front Range that extends from Colorado Spring to Denver to Fort Collins. This area provides a pool of highly educated and experienced technical employee candidates. Our institutions of higher learning in Colorado including the University of Colorado in Boulder and Denver, Colorado School of Mines, Colorado State University, University of Denver and many more, provide a wealth of well-educated prospective staff members.

All of the company’s full time employees have at minimum Bachelor’s degrees in their respective disciplines, and many have either graduate degrees or advanced training certifications. Additionally, many of our employees contribute training and experience in disciplines such as civil engineering, systems engineering, forestry, agronomy, natural resource management, and geology in addition to their expertise in GIS, remote sensing, and GIS software development.

Methods of Quality Control

We conduct rigorous and well-defined QA/QC checks as a matter of policy and standard operating procedure. These QA/QC checks are organized in such a way as to guarantee process or product quality at critical stages of a multi-task procedure. Additionally, we have developed an in-house, web-based QA/QC Project Management / Work-flow Management, database driven application that controls the step-wise processing of data for technically complex projects.

The QA/QC checks can be classified as either a) automated or b) manual in nature. Examples of automated QA/QC procedures include programmed logic checks, limits within statistically significant boundary conditions, etc. Manual QA/QC checks are for complex situations where interpretation by an individual is necessary, such as determining if image quality is ‘acceptable’ or not. In reality, most multi-task procedures require a combination of automated and manual procedures.

A great number of our projects require the formal definition of processing flow charts, step-wise processing instructions and QC steps, and project documentation compiled into procedure manuals for reference and training purposes. Examples of these projects include a) SPOT USA, b) eSat15, and c) eDOQQ.

Safety and Accident Prevention

We are a provider of office-based GIS and related geospatial Information Technology services to government agencies and private companies. As such, no special safety or accident training is required of the company in order to perform our services. However, as a matter of good business practice, we only conduct business with agencies or companies that do adhere to required safety and accident prevention measures.
