CHRIS MEWSE APPOINTED FLIGHT OPERATIONS TECHNICIAN FOR GETMAPPING

With a growing demand for their oblique imagery product MultiVisionTM, Getmapping has recruited Chris Mewse to oversee capturing and production of oblique and vertical aerial photography.

Mewse’s role as flight operations technician will include capturing all oblique surveys, working on post processing of photography and sales to end users.

Mewse was recently employed by Wessex Water to create 3D models that detected weaknesses in the sewage systems. Prior to that he spent time in Nairobi where he worked for Kenyan cartography company Ramani Communications to implement a small format digital survey system.

A graduate from Bath Spa University with a Bsc (Hons) in Remote Sensing Geographic Information Systems, Mewse has extensive working knowledge of new innovations in oblique photography and GI. During his time at Bath Spa he was instrumental in the development of Getmapping’s new single lens oblique camera known as the Azicam.

Mewse is excited at the challenge ahead. He said: “Getmapping has an excellent reputation as an innovator in the GIS industry. During my time at Bath Spa we worked very closely together to create the Azicam, a single lens oblique camera. I am in a privileged position that I have the chance not only to use the end product to capture images, but also to see the whole process through to delivering the final product.”

Tristram Cary, managing director of Getmapping said: “Chris has a strong working knowledge of GIS and in particular oblique imagery. His role will concentrate on capturing oblique and vertical imagery and processing them to a high standard for our clients.”
