Collecting UAV imagery over the same location can require costly ground control point setting and surveying, and still result in imagery stacks that are slightly misaligned once processed. Ensuring your imagery is accurately aligned is the first and most critical step in performing multi-temporal analytics. With STAX, the alignment process is easy and fully automated. You have the option to supply a reference image of similar resolution with overlapping coverage to align a deep stack of data, or to use one of the images in your stack as a reference. Once you’ve aligned your images, you’ll be able to perform vegetation analysis, produce reports, and accurately measure changes over time.

Summit Evolution takes 3D stereo vector digitizing to a new level with its integration of digital stereoplotter, CAD and GIS interfaces, 3D stereo vector superimposition, automated feature editing and contour generation.

A Program System for Close Range Photogrammetry and Aerial Triangulation Including Three-Dimensional Geodetic Network Adjustment. BINGO is a modern and efficient program system for combined photogrammetric geodetic point determination. It can be used for aerial triangulation with large blocks as well as for the terrestrial photogrammetry and the three-dimensional adjustment of geodetic networks. The initial aim of BINGO development was to process photogrammetric geodetic networks for engineering applications of photogrammetry. For this reason a special emphasis was put on a rigorous mathematical model, flexible application possibilities of the functions and a differentiated stochastic model. These principles have been followed during the development of standard aerial triangulation and consideration of the kinematic GPS-positioning. Despite of the wide range of possibilities the program is still easy to handle.

Producing professional, seamless and realistic looking 3D landscapes using commercially available imagery is important for flight training and simulation. Several commercial satellite sensors such as WorldView, Pleaides, and SPOT can provide stereo imagery for high resolution Digital Surface Model (DSM) extraction and very high quality ortho production. Using GXL, large blocks of images can be processed to produce DSMs and seamless colour balanced mosaics that can be draped over elevation models covering large areas. GXL also supports processing for high resolution aerial imagery. L3 Link Simulation & Training uses GXL on a regular basis for their flight simulator scenery creation, training pilots for the F-22, F-16, F-18 and other fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

Historical aerial photography archives contain valuable information that remains untapped. Digitally scanned and properly geo-referenced historical aerial imagery can bring this information to life, making it possible to analyze/visualize the historical information in modern GIS systems. These historical images can reveal hidden patterns, provide a deeper understanding of changes over time thus leading to better decision making.

3D FeatureXtract offers efficient and simplified methods for extracting linear and nonlinear features from imagery and generating accurate complex 3D building models. The system uses overlapping aerial and satellite imagery and can quickly extract 3D buildings, roads, and other forms via an intuitive, easy to use interface.
