Icaros OneButton Overview
Fueled by worldwide Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) market growth, and miniaturized inexpensive sensor evolution, aerial imagery is now cheaper and easier to capture than ever before. The processing of that imagery into GIS (Geographic Information System) compatible maps is also evolving rapidly and dropping in cost. These developments have combined to provide a broad range of new applications and decision support capabilities.
The Icaros OneButton™ software is by far the industries’ easiest-to-use image processing product. By utilizing the most advanced photogrammetric and computer vision algorithms, OneButton™ lets you easily and automatically create fully georeferenced products in 2D and 3D, while combining highly optimized performance to produce exceptionally fast and accurate results.
Outputs that can be produced from OneButton include traditional orthomosaics, true orthomosaics, multispectral band orthomosaics, DEMs (Digital Elevation Models), true color 3D point clouds, and photomesh. Icaros also offers a separate product, called Inspect and Measure
Tool™ that can be used to display processed images, including obliques and thermal images, and perform accurate measurement and analysis.
OneButton™ orthomosaics are produced from overlapping aerial images that it stitches together and geometrically corrects (“orthorectifies”) to give them a uniform scale. This process removes perspective distortion from the aerial images, making the resulting “mosaic” a map that can be accurately measured and analyzed.
Processed georeferenced and orthorectified imagery products are output in a form that can be automatically ingested into Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and analytics packages such as MapInfo, ArcGIS, MapBox, and ENVI, supporting complex analytics for applications including precision agriculture; pipeline inspection; real estate visualization; construction, engineering projects; and many others.
Regardless of your experience, OneButton™ lets you immediately increase ROI and begin building exciting
new applications, and dramatically lowers the cost of ongoing data collection and processing for
existing applications.
