VARGIS of Texas Selected for North Central Texas Mapping Project
Austin, TX, February, 2001- The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) has
awarded its 2001 project for Digital Orthoimagery, with options for Digital Elevation Models and
Contours, to VARGIS of Texas, LLC.
VARGIS is leading a multi-participant team to create 1 foot resolution digital orthoimagery for 11
Counties, plus digital elevation models (DEMs) and 2’ contours for 5+ Counties, all in the north central
portion of the state. Collection of LIDAR for the DEMs and contours began in January 2001, with the
imagery collection to begin in February. Delivery of the orthophotography and contours will begin in the
summer of 2001 and be complete by early spring, 2002. The VARGIS team for the NCTCOG includes
Triathlon, BC, Canada and EarthData International of Maryland, LLC, Gaithersburg, MD.
In 1999, VARGIS created a commercial off-the-shelf, natural color, orthoimagery database called
Eyemap for the Dallas- Ft Worth metro area, which is being used by many NCTCOG members for
landbase applications. The new orthoimagery will create a consistent, updated base map for all NCTCOG
members and other contributing organizations throughout the region.
VARGIS is an industry leader in managing the acquisition, quality assurance and delivery of digital
orthophotography to government and commercial clients. In six years of operation, VARGIS has
contracted for the production of digital orthoimages covering more than 300,000 square miles nationwide.
VARGIS is currently the prime contractor on statewide orthoimagery projects in Texas and Michigan,
and subcontractor on a statewide project in Tennessee. VARGIS also subcontracts and manages
production of its own Eyemap(TM) brand of high-resolution digital color orthophotography in five
metropolitan regions throughout the US.
