CALGARY, Nov. 30 /CNW/ - (TSX:HEM) Hemisphere GPS has formed a strategic business alliance with Third Eye Maps company. The alliance recognizes Third Eye Maps as Hemisphere GPS' authorized representative for aerial imagery capture and processing.

Through the collaboration of multiple technologies, Hemisphere GPS now offers imagery solutions to its agriculture and land management customers. Third Eye Maps uses infrared camera systems to generate aerial imagery and maps with a variety of useful information. For agriculture, this information is used to determine vegetation growth indices as well as nutrient and irrigation irregularities that are essential for the improvement of farm yield efficiencies. For land management, imagery aids in the recognition of invasive species and other vegetation identification that enables targeted management. The captured imagery data is post-processed and formatted into digital files which are compatible with most GPS assisted spray systems including the Hemisphere GPS Air IntelliFlow(TM) and IntelliGate(TM) liquid and dry flow control systems, respectively.

"This combination of technologies provides our customers with valuable data that can be used in conjunction with automated spray applications; whether they are simply turning a spray on and off, or using it with full variable rate treatment in aerial or ground applicators" says Kip Pendleton, Vice-president and General Manager of Agriculture. "Growers, pilots and landowners can now spot spray areas as small as one-tenth of an acre in a more precise and cost effective manner."

Third Eye Maps brings more than 20 years of vegetation mapping and land management experience to Hemisphere GPS. The combination of Hemisphere GPS' advanced guidance and flow control systems and Third Eye Maps' aerial mapping technology and services offers Hemisphere GPS' customers a more complete solution for imagery usage, data management and spray efficiency.
