RICHMOND HILL, Ontario,
Canada—April 22, 2013: PCI Geomatics, a world-leading developer of remote sensing and
photogrammetric software and systems, announced today that it has released key
technology in China to help its customers manage increasingly large geospatial projects.
“PCI
Geomatics is releasing several new products simultaneously in China in response
to a demand for new and innovative tools to meet the increasing need for high
volume data management and processing solutions. As recently announced, the
State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense
(SATIND) plans to launch 5 to 6 new satellites before the end of 2015, starting
with the first in April 2013”, said Terry Moloney, President and CEO at PCI
Geomatics. “We are pleased to release GXL 2013, Geomatica Discover, and
showcase the latest technology from our Geomatica 2013 software.”
“We
have been demonstrating the new capability to customers in China and have
received a great deal of interest,” said David Stanley, Chief Technology
Officer at PCI Geomatics who was present during the announcement and also gave
a keynote address during the 35th International Symposium on Remote
Sensing of Environment (ISRSE), being held in Beijing, China . “Big data
represents a key challenge for organizations in China who deal with large
volumes of geospatial imagery on a daily basis. In my keynote address, I
highlighted how PCI Geomatics is helping organizations handle these big data
challenges.” PCI Geomatics, together with its exclusive Chinese Distributor,
Beijing Space Eye Inc. (BSEI), is a Gold sponsor of the ISRSE Symposium.
GXL
2013 is the latest version of PCI’s proven, high-performance, and scalable
image processing solution. GXL 2013 includes tools that allow users to generate
digital surface models from large data sets of hundreds to thousands of stereo
pairs, and apply new, innovative 2.5D hybrid editing techniques. This gives
users the ability to make changes to their elevation models and inspect the
resulting quality of orthos at full resolution, in real time.
Geomatica
Discover is new standalone, platform agnostic, browser based application that
can crawl and index terabytes of geospatial information quickly, and provides
an intuitive, easy to use interface to browse and discover datasets that are
stored on local or networked drives. Geomatica Discover addresses a key issue
with increasingly large and disorganized data repositories found in
organizations, that results in inefficient use of resources, and in many cases
data duplication.
PCI’s
flagship desktop software, Geomatica 2013, was also announced with the release
of its latest service pack. The software includes key innovations such as
completely redesigned algorithms to detect clouds and remove haze, extract high
quality digital elevation models from large datasets, and improved data
correction workflows of large projects. Geomatica 2013 also includes key
innovations for SAR image analysis, an area that PCI Geomatics has a proven
track record for providing innovations going back to its participation in the
first GlobeSAR program, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary in
2013.
