Mosaic and Esri Partnership Enhances Geospatial Imagery Integration
Mosaic, a leading provider of high-resolution terrestrial imagery hardware, has announced a strategic partnership with Esri, a global leader in GIS software. This collaboration aims to integrate Mosaic’s cutting-edge 360° imagery technology into Esri’s ArcGIS platform, specifically enhancing the Oriented Imagery visualization tool.
Enhancing ArcGIS with Mosaic’s Advanced Imagery
The partnership introduces advanced 360° imagery to ArcGIS, offering users improved tools for managing, visualizing, and exploring image collections within a map context. This integration is designed to enhance spatial analysis, situational awareness, and decision-making capabilities, benefiting customers from both companies.
Industry Experts Comment on the Partnership
Dylan Faraone, Regional Director at Mosaic, highlighted the potential of the partnership, stating, “By utilizing Oriented Imagery within ArcGIS, users can manage, visualize, and explore diverse image collections in a map context, providing unparalleled detail and immersion. This significantly advances spatial analysis, situational awareness, and decision-making support. Mosaic customers will be able to visualize their imagery using the best GIS software solution available, while ESRI customers will benefit from the superior visualization capabilities offered by Mosaic’s high-resolution imagery.”
Arkadiusz Szadkowski, leading Global Business Development & Sales for Reality Mapping at Esri, commented, “I’m glad to see this new partnership with Mosaic happening. Integrating their robust 360° imagery technology into our GIS platform presents incredible opportunities for their and our users. I see a huge value proposition in the combination of 360° imagery with GIS, especially 3D GIS and Reality Mapping. That brings a new level of detail and immersion to spatial analysis and visualization. Esri’s capabilities in oriented imagery, along with our platform’s flexibility to integrate external widgets, make it possible to leverage Mosaic’s innovative solutions effectively. I’m especially a fan of Mosaic Viking, the highest panoramic camera available on the market, which exemplifies their commitment to excellence and innovation.”
Pam Blackmore, GIS/GPS Specialist, emphasized the benefits of using Mosaic and Esri, stating, “I compared four cameras for our county. On every single metric, the Mosaic 51 beat out its competitors: its image quality is best, it came with a powerful script to stitch the imagery together and save us enormous amounts of processing time, and the imagery is nonproprietary so it comes in seamlessly to our ESRI software.”
