Osmose Introduces Video Data Capture™
Technology to Enhance the Value of Accurate GIS Data
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) December 6, 2007 --
Osmose Utilities Services, Inc has introduced an innovative new approach
to the collection and integration of T&D asset data that promises to
enhance the accuracy and value of field surveys and inspections. The
Osmose Video Data Capture system (VDC) can provide a “virtual
field visit” for the utility operator while
also streamlining project design and quality control procedures.
Prior to this development, data collection projects required multiple
field visits by both the contractor and the client to ensure accuracy
and compliance with data acceptance specifications. Data accuracy and
completeness are the most important elements of field surveys in support
of GIS, Outage Management or Joint Use applications. Osmose developed
this new approach so that T&D asset information can be audited and
verified without leaving the office, making it possible to settle third
party and joint user disputes.
Utility users have the option of Internet access to video data clips
hosted by the Osmose Data Center. This approach is an ideal solution for
utilities seeking to increase the quantity and quality of computer-based
spatial data that describe the location, condition and connectivity of
poles, conductors, control equipment, street lights, telecommunication
attachments and meters. Utilities often fail to capture the promise of
GIS projects because users maintain old, labor-intensive habits. Data
accuracy or completeness is often perceived to be insufficient to
support work orders and decision-making from the office.
The Osmose VDC approach integrates high-quality audio, video and GPS
technology for ease-of-use by specially trained field technicians.
Osmose data processing professionals translate the audio, video and GPS
data into the customer’s specified software
format, after extensive but efficient quality control. Processing tools
allow for comparison of video to customer source data, business rules
validations and population of the customer’s
target information system.
“Customers can expect highly accurate data,
fewer field visits and corrections, shorter data lockdown periods and
defendable snapshots of field conditions proven to be true at the time
of collection,” noted Andy Beardslee, Product
Manager for Osmose. “Osmose VDC is designed to
deliver virtual visits to the field from any desktop computer with web
access.”
