PCI Geomatics Recognizes Academic Excellence of Carleton University Students

Gatineau, Quebec – November 29, 2011: PCI Geomatics today announced that it presented academic excellence awards to three of Carleton University’s top students in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies.

All three students have worked with PCI’s Geomatica software during the course of their academic careers, which is a key teaching tool used by the University. “We use Geomatica to teach the fundamentals of Remote Sensing in our courses; the software is also used in research projects and thesis work since it supports a broad range of image processing capability and allows us to work with many different types of image data and formats,” said Doug King, Professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies. “We appreciate the continued support and recognition that PCI provides to our students – they have earned their awards thanks to their dedication in pursuing excellence and advancing the field of Remote Sensing and GIS.”

The awards were presented to Blair Kennedy, Will Parkinson, and Amanda Viveen - top students who are studying in the Department - in recognition of their excellent work and high academic achievements. Blair Kennedy is a two time recipient of the award, and is currently enrolled as a graduate student, working towards obtaining his PhD; Will Parkinson is also enrolled in the graduate program – working towards completing a Master’s degree; and Amanda Viveen is finalizing her undergraduate degree – with a specialization in Remote Sensing and GIS.

PCI’s Director of Marketing, Kevin Jones, commented, “The Geography Department at Carleton University has an excellent program and offers students access to leading edge technology, such as PCI’s Geomatica software. As a graduate of the program myself, I can attest to the high quality of teaching and excellent opportunities to not only build domain expertise and knowledge, but also to obtain hands on experience using commercial software – giving the students an edge in a competitive job market once they graduate.”

Kevin Jones and Doug King presented the awards to the students at the University - pictures of the even can be accessed on the PCI Geomatics website at http://pci.gl/t3981k.

PCI Distributor Geo-Alliance presenting GXL Workshop at the Earth from Space Conference - held in Moscow, Russia

Gatineau, Quebec – November 25, 2011: PCI’s distributor, Geo-Alliance, a silver sponsor at the Fifth International “Earth from Space” conference held in Moscow from November 29-December 01, 2011, will be presenting a workshop on the GeoImaging Accelerator (GXL).

Geo-Alliance recently attended PCI’s Reseller Meeting in Montebello, Canada, where extensive training was provided on the use of GXL technology developed by PCI Geomatics. The workshop will feature how automation, speed and high throughput capability achieved with the GXL can help organizations cope with the increasing flood of imagery that needs to be processed in order to derive useful products. The workshop will include a live demonstration of the system – which is highly scalable and leverages off the shelf multi-threaded CPU/GPU processing hardware – providing processing capability of up to several Terabytes per day.

In addition, Geo-Alliance will be showcasing PCI’s newest software release, Geomatica 2012, launched this past September 2011. Geomatica demonstrations will feature how the new, native 64 bit application results in improved speeds for common processing tasks, and how automation across the platform can help reduce touch time on imagery, boosting productivity.

The Earth from Space Conference is being held in the Moscow Region Vatutinki recreation center of the Russian President Administration, from November 29^th to December 1^st, 2011. More information on the conference is available here: http://www.conference.scanex.ru/index.php/en.html
