Image Matters provides innovative solutions for defense, intelligence, homeland security, environmental, natural resources, and commercial markets, leveraging more than a decade of pioneering engineering experience and expertise across six interrelated technology domains: Geospatial-Temporal, Social, Mobile, Linked-Data/Semantics, Analytics, and Sensors to assist clients of all sizes with four fundamental challenges:
Most defense and intelligence problems have geospatial, temporal, semantic and/or social context, yet it is rare to find effective tools that seamlessly integrate a unified set of geospatial-temporal-semantic-social capabilities into mission workflows. Image Matters tackles this domain with its robust, highly-extensible software service technologies. Our solution portfolio is bolstered by extensive expert knowledge and skills based on a continuous stream of groundbreaking R&D. We support our clients in their mission to: evolve geospatial data and service requirements and standards; architect next generation solutions; develop Cloud-based platforms to geospatially-enable the enterprise; and provide direct geospatial and GEOINT support to warfighters.
Image Matters federal government clients include U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Transportation (DoT), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and others, as well and state and local clients. We are the go-to-contractor to serve their most challenging needs for advanced geospatial and Cloud solutions. For example, Image Matters is the lead technical support contractor for the collaborative National Geospatial Platform Initiative for USGS and its partner agencies.
Image Matters has extensive experience designing and building SaaS/PaaS solutions for the Cloud. We are leaders in providing advanced software service platforms that integrate geospatial-social-mobile technologies. Our commercial solutions include: developed the innovative EyeQ, a Cloud-based imagery dissemination platform for GeoEye (now Digital Globe); developed key services for Wireless Matrix’s (now CalAmp) flagship vehicle tracking services platform; and developed advanced systems administration and operations services for National Geographic. Our solutions benefit from pioneering, award-winning R&D in the areas of social network analysis, semantic-based “intelligent” services, big data analytics, and formal structured analytics.
Image Matters provides a unique combination of specialized solutions development and systems engineering expertise, processes and tools. Our team has a proven aptitude for “outside the box” problem-solving, and delivering results quickly and often… especially when innovative approaches are required to overcome complex challenges. Image Matters has a track-record of providing cutting-edge, high-performance SaaS/PaaS solutions, employing our lean, AgileEE™ methods across the system development lifecycle.
