Pictometry International

Pictometry International is an aerial measurement company based in Henrietta, New York that develops software that uses three-dimensional aerial photographs to view high-resolution images of buildings in their entirety. Pictometry International's technology was developed at the Rochester Institute of Technology and shows structures at an oblique angle or at a 45-degree angle, from all sides providing perspective and overhead shot images that are accurate to 1/100th of an inch. The company has 80 Cessnas that provide high-resolution aerial photography in counties that include 95 percent of the U.S. population.

The company was ranked fifth on the Rochester Top 100 companies list in 2011. Pictometry International along with BLOM ASA and Fugro EarthData, Inc. accounted for approximately a quarter of the global aerial imaging market revenue in 2013.

In 2013, Pictometry International merged with EagleView Technologies, an aerial roof and wall measurement company making EagleView Technology Corp the parent company.

Pictometry International co-launched in 1996 by John Ciampa, a former Rochester Institute of Technology professor in the school of photography, who after obtaining a patent, hired Stephen Schultz, a Rochester Institute of Technology graduate who developed most of the technology used as a foundation for the company. Schultz created new algorithms for the aerial photography software and also implemented a variety of techniques to capture and analyze the content of aerial photographs also known as photogrammetry.

Pictometry International was founded in 2000. In 2005, Pictometry established an international division which licenses its technology to partners in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia, Australia, North and South America.

In 2013, Pictometry merged with Eagle View Technologies, Inc., making both companies subsidiaries of EagleView Technology Corp. The merger led to the offering of comprehensive capabilities in aerial imagery collections, geospatial analytics and 3-D measurement technologies. Chris Barrow is the president and CEO of the combined companies with offices in Bothell, Washington and Henrietta, New York.
