Background• Red Hen Systems was formed in 1997 with a focus

on serving the agricultural industry• In 2003, Red Hen Systems turned its focus

completely to pursue more lucrative market opportunities and spun off Red Hen Farming Systems

• The company has been funded by a single individual since its inception

• Red Hen Systems is a world leader in geospatial multimedia (tagging still and motion imagery with GPS coordinates)

GeoSpatial Multimedia

The integration of location with “image” data

• Video• Audio• Digital Stills• Immersive Imagery• Radio/Cell Transmission

The use and analysis of results within a map to make decisions

Why is Geospatial Multimedia used?

• Reduce Cost– Reduce number of people in the field gathering data– Maximize results from each trip to the field– Make better decisions

• Reduce Time– Get information to decision makers faster– Get teams out to take action more quickly

• Reduce Risk– Minimize exposure to management situations

• Improve Quality of Data– Increase interaction time with real-world situations– Gather data from difficult locations

• Improve Communication– Easily keep teams informed

Patents• GPS Video Mapping System

– Method for using the audio channel of the video to record GPS and directional information

– Representing the video as an icon appearing at the GPS coordinates on a geographical map

– Indexing and playing back the video via latitude and longitude

– A moving cursor in the mapping environment that represents where the video is playing

• Method for Matching Geographic Information with Recorded Images– Time Matching Algorithm in which a GPS Track Log and a set of

Digital Images from a Digital Camera are automatically matched
