The Hindu has an in depth report that suggests that confusion in contracts between Rolta, which delivered a custom package of software from Intergraph, Bentley and Oracle for image analysis, and the Indian Army have led to software slowdowns and the need to reinvest to updated licenses. There is also a suggestion that Rolta repackaged Intergraph software without permission.

At the Intergraph 2010 conference, the defense and intelligence group was demonstrating their Motion Video Analyst (MVA) solutions to help manage data from the growing usage of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in support of the warfighting efforts in the Middle East.
As a consequence of too much data, the need for analysts is likewise increasing. Algorithms are being developed for pattern recognition but the data will be useful only so long as the data is handled correctly said Rob Mott of Intergraph. In addition, the establishment of persistent surveillance by UAVs is likely resulting in even greater volumes of data.
Data volumes of video are so massive they are now being described in terms of "Yottabytes."
Intergraph has brought to market Motion Video Exploitation, a combination of several technology convergences: Integrated flight plans; real time video enhancements; ground target indicators; geospatially referenced video, storage and search.
And even the gaming industry is being tapped for innovation. Intergraph is adopting an Xbox controller to be integrated into the MVA button assignments in hopes of helping the analysts to be more effective. The company believes it alone can take multiple video feeds and integrate them into a 2D mapping environment.

Ohio DOT acquired the camera last year from Intergraph. It hoped to swap out the old film camera in its Cessna and start taking new imagery. But the plane has been grounded since May 2009. The FAA changed the rules for mounting since the state acquired the aircraft in 2004. So, now the state is scrambling to comply. In the meantime, the state has paid private contractors to do the flying.
