National Government
National government users that employ aerial photography or satellite imagery in mapping or intelligence activities use Bentley Descartes. These include military, census, cadastre, and mapping agencies. Bentley Descartes is also used for site planning, corridor studies and visualization using image draping and also in map conversion processes.
Local Government
Bentley Descartes is used in mapping, 3D visualization for urban planning, support of road planning and design and also in map conversion workflows. Our users include local government organizations responsible for mapping the cadastre, public works departments involved in transportation, and urban planners.
Utilities
Utilities use Bentley Descartes in their transmission departments for mapping corridors for electric or gas transmission facilities. Distribution departments that use imagery and planning in mapping their facilities take advantage of Bentley Descartes, as do departments that are performing site planning or analysis for new substations or plants.
Mapping and Surveying Companies
Mapping and surveying companies use Bentley Descartes in many stages of imaging and mapping workflows, including pre-processing images for use in design or mapping applications.
Building Users
Building users take advantage of Bentley Descartes for site planning and for visualizing building designs against the terrain.
Pipeline
Pipeline companies use Bentley Descartes for processing LIDAR and traditional aerial photography in corridor mapping workflows, including risk assessment and area classification.
Oil and Gas Exploration
Bentley Descartes is used in the oil and gas industry mapping, for well location studies and in exploration workflows.
Road/Transportation
Bentley Descartes is used of transportation mapping, planning and engineering workflows, such as site planning, corridor studies, and visualization using image draping.
