3D stereo viewing with precise data collection and feature capture with DAT/EM SUMMIT EVOLUTION and Geomatica OrthoEngine

PCI Geomatics has partnered with DAT/EM Systems International to create an advanced, efficient and complete photogrammetry solution. Utilizing Geomatica OrthoEngine’s robust and wide-ranging support for all types of remotely sensed data, and SUMMIT EVOLUTION’s advanced CAD and GIS feature capture and editing environment, this technology integration provides an end-to-end solution for all organizations interested in accurately capturing surface features from remotely sensed data.

Geomatica OrthoEngine Highlights: • Wide-ranging data support including aerial photography, satellite imagery and synthetic aperture radar • Advanced rational functions - (RPC) and rigorous modelbased image orientation calculations • Automation options including automatic ground control and tie-point collection, model calculations, and batch processing • Output epipolar files directly to SUMMIT EVOLUTION

DAT/EM SUMMIT EVOLUTION benefits to Geomatica OrthoEngine: • Powerful combination of digital stereoplotter, CAD/GIS interface, superimposition and automated feature editing • Digitize directly into AutoCAD, MicroStation, or ArcGIS • Automatic elevation snapping and terrain following tools • Input epipolar files directly from Geomatica OrthoEngine

Geomatica OrthoEngine

Leading the Image-Centric Revolution

Geomatica OrthoEngine is PCI Geomatics’ powerful technology suite designed to handle both small and large photogrammetric production workloads. Geomatica technology produces quality geospatial products including geometrically corrected images (orthoimages), mosaics, digital elevation models (DEMs), and stereo images (epipolars). With wide-ranging support for many popular types of optical satellite imagery, synthetic aperture radar data and aerial photography, OrthoEngine can provide the technical solutions needed for your data. The power of OrthoEngine technology is further extended by a wide-range of productivity options, including bothvisual and command-line scripting, automated ground control and image-to-image tie point collection, and multi-project batch processing options.

DAT/EM Summit Evolution

The Height of Digital Stereoplotter Technology

SUMMIT EVOLUTION digital photogrammetric workstation is a user-friendly system for performing 3D feature collection. SUMMIT EVOLUTION presents stereo images in three dimensions while compiling directly into AutoCAD, MicroStation, or ArcGIS. The SUMMIT EVOLUTION system allows for easy management in a project-based environment. Feature data collection with DAT/EM CAPTURE the industry-leading stereoplotter interface. Further editing is performed using DAT/EM's MAP/EDITOR software, and MAP/EDITOR is included with SUMMIT EVOLUTION digital stereoplotter.

The Integration

PCI Geomatics and DAT/EM Systems International have partnered to provide a completely integrated, end-to-end photogrammetry solution.

Image pre-processing, model calculation, and epipolar image generation is completed using Geomatica OrthoEngine technology. The epipolar images and image models produced by OrthoEngine can be opened directly in SUMMIT EVOLUTION for advanced CAD and GIS feature collection.

This seamless technical integration offers significant advantages for users of both OrthoEngine and SUMMIT EVOLUTION technology.

OrthoEngine users can now use all of their remotely sensed data for advanced, 3D CAD and GIS feature collection. Further the advanced DEM editing tools available in SUMMIT EVOLUTION are sure to be beneficial for any organization using OrthoEngine’s stereo-image DEM extraction technology.

Users may also benefit from the automated orthorectification, mosaicking and DEM extraction functionality provided by OrthoEngine.

Users of SUMMIT EVOLUTION and Geomatica OrthoEngine can now utilize advanced 3D feature capture technology for a wide-range of remotely sensed data.
