Just in time for Holiday surfing, the Image Processing pipeline team delivered 36 Terabytes of new and updated Oblique and Ortho imagery to Virtual Earth. Jason Willison, our Imagery PM, sent me the update list below. Nice job getting this done early this month - Ops and data center guys like to enjoy time off too :-)

Here are the highlights…

• 44 new hi-res orthos (aka aerials) from 3Di using the UltraCam
• 36 new US areas of Pictometry Bird’s Eye oblique scenes
• 26 new EU areas of BLOM Bird’s Eye scenes
• 5 areas of US orthos from GlobeXplorer
• 17 areas of orthos around the world from GeoEye
• Updated orthos in England/Wales/Scotland from Getmapping.
• Holland orthos from DKLN.
