Stockton Infrared Thermographic Services, Inc. and VeriMAP Plus, Inc. Announce a New Partnership Agreement

Stockton Infrared Thermographic Services, Inc., (SITS) and VeriMAP Plus, Inc. (VeriMAP) announced today that an agreement has been signed which will combine the technology and services of both companies in order to provide a wide array of mapping services using very high resolution imagery. SITS’s aerial division, AITscan™, is partnering with VeriMAP to provide state-of-the-art remote sensing to industrial, institution and commercial and residential customers. .

With seven application-specific service divisions, SITS is one of the USA’s leading providers of infrared thermographic services, providing services to top-500 companies and government agencies in the North, Central and South America. VeriMap is a direct-digital aerial survey-mapping company with an international office in Calgary, Canada, and two US locations, Raymond, MS and San Marcos, TX. VeriMap has over 10 years of research and development behind sophisticated rapid-delivery mapping systems that deliver digital ortho-imagery with very high accuracy and high resolution.

“By combining the experience and resources of the two companies, we will deliver products that are unprecedented in our industry,” states David Stonehouse, President/CEO of VeriMap Plus, Inc.

“We are excited about the partnership since it will allow us to continue to concentrate on existing markets and adds vertical markets for us provide additional services to our customer base”, states Gregory R. Stockton, President and founder of Stockton Infrared Thermographic Services, Inc.

As a result of this agreement, a new service line has been developed, Thermal MapIR™, to provide high resolution ortho-rectified infrared (IR) imagery of large areas. Verimap has developed a thermal system consisting of a thermal focal plane array, fixed-mounted into the aircraft cabin. An IMU (inertial measurement unit) records all aircraft movement at 400 times per second. This provides the “geographic-long-lat” orientation-solution trajectory for the imagery. This Inertial Reference Gyro System is tightly-coupled to a real-time differential GPS satellite positioning system which provides x, y, z positioning of the aircraft at all times. This also eliminates the need for GPS ground stations to resolve the final Imagery Geometry Solution.

“Using the IR image data that is gathered, we will be able to point out liquid leaks into creeks, lakes and rivers, areas of steam system leaks, thermal losses in general and the condition of all of the roofs flown in a given area,” states Alejandro Tache, AITscan division manager.
