PRODUCTIONWORKFLOWSwww.pcigeomatics.com© 2012 PCI Geomatics Inc. All rights reserved.Increased functionality brings increased complexity. Every step added to your image processing environment has the potential to create inefficient, disjointed workflows. PCI Geomatics’ custom production workflows help connect disparate tasks and complete complex jobs efficiently.Using over 30 years of remote sensing knowledge, PCI production workflows combine and streamline common tasks to produce extraordinary products. Our production workflow offerings are easily tailored or expanded to optimize unique operational needs, enabling your organization to focus on core competencies.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.PCI Geomatics has developed a customized solution to automate the correction of historical imagery. With it, users can properly prepare historical data, set up workflows that will create perfectly aligned and orthorectified mosaics for use in numerous GIS applications.Make use of the data you haveCustom Production WorkflowsHistorical Airphoto ProcessingUsing modern, automated image correction methods to tap into valuable historical imageryHistorical Image from 1955 (London, Ontario)The university of Western Ontario houses over 58,000 paper airphotos in its archives.Turn Back The ClockRealize the value of your vast archives of historical airphoto imagery. Turn hundreds of thousands of archive images into GIS ready digital mosaics.Our production workflows leverage automated algorithms to ingest, orhorectify, color balance and mosaic historical imagery.Process large volumes of imagery in days not weeksCut down on the manual, labor intensive work - our tools will enable you to complete very large processing jobs quickly.High Powered, Automated Tools© 2012 PCI Geomatics Inc.

In a 12 month duration, we were able to produce 4,000 individual orthos. Using the new Production Workflow from PCI, we can produce 300 orthos per week, or over 15,000 per year (4 X improvement, with significant reduction in the need for operator intervention).”Scan/Ingest AirphotosCoarse AlignmentFine Alignment/Mosaic- Camera calibration information (focal length, flight line information)- Available image coordinates (typically center coordinate)- Inspect automated GCP & TPs / remove blunders- Fiducial marks (automated methods once a few are collected)- Refine search radius to refine accuracy of automated GCPs- Automated GCP / TP collection for relative positioning- Generate seamlines and color balancing information automatically123Features and BenefitsAutomated Fiducial Mark collectionAutomated GCP / TP collection methodsLarge volume block bundle adjustmentAutomated mosaicking and colour balancingQuality Assurance tools to inspect colour balancing, GCP/TP quality, seamlines1950’s 1960’s 1970’s 1980’s
