RICHMOND HILL, Ontario, Canada—March 14, 2013: PCI Geomatics, a world-leading
developer of remote sensing and photogrammetric software and systems, announced
today that it now supports SPOT-6 imagery within its software suite.
SPOT-6, a new satellite built and operated by Astrium was launched
on September 9th, 2012 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in India.
SPOT-6 is an optical imaging satellite capable of imaging the Earth with a
resolution of 1.5 m Panchromatic and 6 m Multispectral (Blue, Green, Red,
Near-IR).
“We have worked closely with Astrium and the European Commissions’
Joint Research Centre (JRC) to validate our software’s support for SPOT-6 imagery”, said Dr. Philip Cheng, Senior Scientist
at PCI Geomatics. “PCI’s customers rely on us to provide support when new
sensors are launched. Adding support for SPOT-6 was relatively straightforward
as the data format is very similar to other PCI supported sensors that have
been recently launched by Astrium, such as the Pleiades Constellation”.
The support for SPOT-6 will be available in the Geomatica 2013 SP2
product release. PCI’s support for SPOT-6 will include RPC model creation
(allowing for very accurate corrections using the satellite orbital ephemeris
data) as well as very rapid and high quality Pansharpening capability.

support for SPOT-6 and processing capabilities that are available within
