What is Mapware?

This article covers who Mapware is and what we do.

Who is Mapware?

The photogrammetry software we wanted didn't exist. So we built it ourselves.

Mapware, Inc. is a geospatial software company that builds custom, specialized UAS and GIS data processing solutions for some of the world's largest companies and government agencies.

We are working to provide real-time geospatial data to first responders and teams working in a variety of industries including telecommunications, oil and gas, construction, insurance, disaster response, land management, and conservation.

We are experts in GPU-accelerated data processing using cloud-based systems

Mapware has provided tools and support to first responders in the aftermath of some of the major hurricanes to make landfall in the U.S., including Hurricane Matthew in 2016, Irma in 2017, and Florence and Michael in 2018.

We are part of the first cohort of the Verizon 5G First Responder Lab, which allows us to develop advanced tools to get real-time data collected by drones into the hands of first responders, so they can respond quickly when disaster strikes, making operations on the ground more efficient and successful.

Mapware is an alumni of the Capital Factory Accelerator Program, the NVIDIA Inception Program, and is winner of the MD5 Hackathon for implementation of AI/ML for image analysis, and FastCompany's Innovation by Design Award for Social Good.

A Top-20 Innovator for the U.S. Air Force

In March 2020, Mapware was awarded strategic financing from the U.S. Air Force to develop advanced drone software that combines geospatial data, photogrammetry, and AI-based data processing to apply to land management use cases at Air Force bases across the U.S.

What does Mapware do?

Mapware is the future of photogrammetry software.

Mapware is an extremely powerful photogrammetry engine created by Mapware. The software is capable of stitching thousands of images together into a point cloud, orthomosaic image, 3D model, or other location-based, high-resolution visual output.

The easy-to-use system allows you to go from raw image data to a usable 3D model in just 5 easy steps:

  1. Create an Account
  2. Upload Files & Photos 1. Set Processing Parameters
  3. Process Your Model
  4. Export Your Model

Mapware runs on a stable, cloud-based computing platform using Mapware's state-of-the-art data center. We use GPU-accelerated processors, and our system can handle a virtually limitless amount of data.
