Customer Spotlight: Cal-State and USC Use Red Hen Technology to Study So. California Fire Recovery*
From February 2008 through April 2009, students from Cal-State Long Beach and the University of Southern California have used geospatial video in neighborhoods impacted by the Witch Fire in San Diego County; of particular interest are two neighborhoods in the Rancho Bernardo area that experienced extensive burining and subsequent recovery activity. The videos were collected at four periods throughout the study and were then integrated into ArcGIS using Red Hen System's GeoVideo Toolbar for ArcGIS. Using this software, the neighborhoods could be revisited, in essence allowing the user to virtually drive the environment even if they were not involved in the initial data survey. The result was that, for each time period, a spatial pattern of recovery can be visualized. These data were then used to classify areas in terms of recovery. This was done using a Recovery Score (RS) method developed after Hurricane Katrina, with this study focusing on mathematical analysis of the number of houses that are stagnant in their recovery within the line-of-sight from the centroid of each parcel of land. This is an example of the
fine-scale analysis that would be difficult to undertake without the data collected through geospatial video.

Red Hen Systems Provides DMRT Kit to Brazilian Army Corps of Engineers w/ MMS
DMRT ready to deploy in Pelican case  |
The DMRT Kit, was conceived a few years ago by a Dept. of Defense (DoD) media specialist client. In order to accomplish his mission, this existing Red Hen customer needed a complete and portable media mapping kit in a ruggedized container. His solution is now known as the DMRT, or Digital Mapping Reconnaissance Toolkit. This particular kit consists of a Canon HD video camera, (2) Nikon DSLR still cameras w/ lenses, a MDL laser range finder, (2) Red Hen's Blue2CAN, VMS 300, and MediaGeotagger software, and suction camera mounts.
The DMRT solution proved to be attractive addition to the Brazilian Army Corps recent MediaMapper Server (MMS) acquisition. In addition to assisting with disaster relief efforts in Haiti, they plan to use the DMRT and MMS for creating a digital inventory of the Brazilian highway system, and in analyzing its condition.
The DMRT is a special order addition for customers seeking enterprise MMS and/or RouteScout solutions.
