earthmine, inc. is a company located in Berkeley, California devoted to "indexing reality". [1] [2] The company uses vehicle mounted camera rigs to capture imagery and three dimensional data of the urban environment. It was founded in 2006 by John Ristevski and Anthony Fassero. [3]
earthmine uses technology licensed from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to capture 3D data at regular intervals while driving. [4] [5] Collection is accomplished with the MARS collection system, which employs a set of cameras mounted to the roof of a car. As of November 2009, earthmine has established a network of collection partners in the United States and around the world. [6]
The collected data is processed to create a library of 3D panoramic imagery, from which measurements can be made. [7] A set of tools exists so that users can access this data through a flash application or a smart phone. [8]
In May, 2009, earthmine introduced "Wild Style City", [9] a web based model of San Francisco with surfaces where visitors can add graffiti to virtual walls.
In November, 2012 Nokia acquired earthmine's map service. [10] [11]
earthmine was the recipient of the 2007 Crunchie Award for "Best Technology Innovation/Achievement". [12] [13]
