Genesys International and Survey of India (SOI) on November 22 have collaborated to revolutionise India's map content.
This partnership aims to create digital twins of major cities and towns, leveraging Genesys' all-India navigable maps, Genesys constellation of sensors and SOI's recently launched CORS network, which allows real-time high precision positioning of data.
Hitesh Kumar Makwana, IAS, Surveyor General of India, said, "The 3D Digital Twin aimed to be created will be used by government departments for various new initiatives. The integration of our CORS technology with the surveying expertise of the private sector will enhance the usability and reliability of geospatial data, unlocking new possibilities for India's development. We are looking for the future possibilities that this SOI-Industry collaboration holds and it would be useful for the larger public needs."
As per the company press release, this collaboration will introduce the India Map Stack initiative and Genesys' expertise with SOI's technical infrastructure.
It will also deliver previously unavailable data layers such as high-precision 3D data, Digital Terrain Models (DTM), Digital Surface Models (DSM) and orthoimagery.
An orthoimage is an aerial photograph geometrically corrected such that the scale is uniform and the photo or image follows a given map projection.
