RICHMOND HILL, Ontario, Canada—July
10, 2012: PCI Geomatics, a world-leading developer of
geoimaging software and systems, announced today that it has successfully
launched the beta version of its desktop software, Geomatica 2013.
The commercial release of Geomatica 2013 will
build upon PCI’s successful Geomatica 2012 product, which was launched last
fall. The beta program offers testers the opportunity to work with the latest
version of Geomatica, where improvements have been made in key areas:
- Faster, efficient workflows for large image-processing projects (100 to 1,000 scenes/project)
- Atmospheric Correction – new, easy-to-use interface for automated detection/masking of clouds as well as haze removal
- Improved results for the extraction of digital elevation models from high*resolution imagery
The purpose of the closed beta program is to
give existing PCI customers and partners an opportunity to test the new functionality
that has been built into the software – functionality driven by customer and
market feedback. Beta testers will work directly with Peter Hazlett, PCI’s
Geomatica Product Manager, providing valuable comments and feedback.
“We are extremely pleased to have such a
broad range of beta program participants, who will be testing the new areas
where we have made significant improvements,” said Peter Hazlett. “PCI has a
long tradition of working with its customers and partners to continue to
improve its products, and we greatly value the time and effort beta testers
will contribute to ensure the Geomatica 2013 release is a top-notch product.”
Geomatica 2013 includes hundreds of
improvements to several areas, including Focus, OrthoEngine, Fly!, and SAR
analysis. The software will offer support for additional satellite, aerial, and
UAV sensors, as well as improved support for data formats. In addition, the
software will include improved performance through new OpenMP-enabled versions
of key algorithms (DEM extraction, Automated GCP and tie point extraction, and epipolar
pair generation, among several others).
Geomatica represents a key product for PCI’s
broad array of scalable, high-speed image processing software solutions.
Technology is developed and implemented across PCI’s technology stack, making
it possible for customers to leverage the right solution for their processing
requirements. Projects of any size can be addressed using PCI’s innovative
desktop and enterprise image processing solutions.
