- Details
- Created on 07 June 2013
Primordial’s patent-pending Ooze platform allows organizations to efficiently complete large-scale geographic information system (GIS) projects by paying workers around the globe to perform online mapping tasks in the cloud.
Primordial today announced the beta release of Ooze, a cloud-hosted platform for extracting and annotating geographic features, such as roads, trails, trees, water, parking lot boundaries, and walls from overhead or street-level imagery. Ooze can also be used to inventory, identify, or measure physical objects found in imagery and video frames such as trees, fire hydrants, light poles, parking meters and road signs. Frequently changing data sets, such as the footprints of buildings, become affordable to create and maintain due to lowered job cost and reduced staffing overhead.
