                Contract win for 2d3 with UK Ministry of Defence


OMG plc, Oxford Metrics Group (LSE: OMG), ('OMG' or 'the Group') the technology
group providing image understanding products for the entertainment, defence,
life science and engineering industries, is pleased to announce it has signed a
contract with the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD).



The contract is within its 2d3 division, which develops advanced image
processing software for defence and visual effects.  2d3's technology will be
assessed for its utility in the monitoring of video processed on board, or
relayed from, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) - in particular for automatically
recognising and locating specified targets such as vehicles moving on the
ground.  The software also has the potential to be used to monitor given
locations and to issue alerts whenever there is activity, such as people
entering or leaving a building.



To date 2d3's automatic camera tracking software has been used primarily by the
movie industry.  In 2005 OMG decided to apply its technology to Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles and in December 2005 the Group announced an initial project with
QinetiQ to recover 3D information from airborne video imagery which was
completed in September 2006.  OMG exhibited its capabilities for the first time
at the Farnborough Air Show 2006 and again at the Association for Unmanned
Vehicle System International (AUVSI) show in Florida in August 2006.  It has
further invested in this area during the first half of this current financial
year.



Nick Bolton, chief executive of OMG plc, commented,



'We are delighted to announce this latest contract win within 2d3. Securing a
contract with the MoD is a terrific endorsement of our work and expertise.  This
announcement clearly displays our commitment to success in the defence sector,
based on our 25 years of experience in motion capture and analysis.'
