Test Engineer manual and automation

Cyclomedia Technology B.V. is a market and technology leader in large-scale systematic visualization of environments, making accurately positioned 360° panoramic images from public roads (Cycloramas) and distributing aerial images. The in-house developed and patented Cyclorama technology allows high-quality panoramic images to be produced annually on a nationwide scale in a highly automated cloud-based processing pipeline and quality control process.

Some specifics: the panoramic recording system has a speed of 10 images per second, resolution of 100Mpx and precision of <10cm accuracy. Customers use our images to accurately measure objects (location and sizes). Cyclomedia supplies its accurately positioned images in combination with user-friendly software (Street Smart) that plugs into the existing customer GIS software applications. Street Smart uses the exact recording locations and perfect geometry of the images to geo-tag objects and to visualize existing geo-information as a precisely positioned data layer on top of the panoramic and aerial images. Cyclomedia furthermore develops software to automatically detect and classify objects and to automatically reconstruct 3D from Cycloramas and aerial images. Cyclomedia is unique in covering the complete customer value chain by offering technology, data, and applications to add value and lower costs for public and private organizations
