RICHMOND HILL, Ontario,
Canada—May 9, 2013: PCI Geomatics, a world-leading developer of remote sensing and
photogrammetric software and systems, announced today that is has renewed its
Gold-Tier Partnership with Esri for 2013, through the Esri Partner Network
(EPN). An Esri partner since April 2009, PCI Geomatics provides leading-edge
technology that integrates with Esri’s ArcGIS solution and allows users to
automatically process and analyze satellite imagery from many different
sensors.
“PCI Geomatics provides excellent
tools to correct satellite and aerial imagery that makes it possible for GIS
users to analyze and extract accurate information in their daily decision
making process,” said Alex Miller, President, Esri Canada.
“Through our partnership with
Esri, we have improved access to high-quality imagery at a global scale, by
providing a system for Esri to process over 50 million square kilometers of
imagery using our GXL technology deployed to the Amazon Cloud,” said Terry
Moloney, President and CEO of PCI Geomatics. “In addition to providing image-processing software, PCI Geomatics is actively developing a Cloud strategy to leverage the
power of Esri’s ArcGIS Online platform.”
PCI Geomatics software provides
powerful and accurate image correction capability that scales from desktop,
server, and cloud-based systems to handle projects of any size. PCI’s
innovative development and powerful systems led them to work with Esri Inc. on
an ambitious project to build a 1m resolution basemap for ArcGIS Online.
Through the use of a cloud-based Image processing system, over 50 million
square kilometers were orthorectified, pansharpened, and mosaicked using
massive amounts of parallel processing on Amazon’s cloud with PCI’s GXL
technology.
“Once again, Esri Canada is
pleased to sponsor PCI Geomatics as an Esri Gold-Tier Partner,” added Miller. “We continue to work closely with PCI Geomatics
to support our Canadian operations, having recently leveraged their technology
to fulfill our own project requirements.”
PCI and Esri also announced the grant
recipients for the Esri and PCI Natural Resource Imagery Grant Program – 24
organizations have been selected to receive over $100,000 worth of software and
imagery to solve key natural resources challenges using the combination of image
processing and remote sensing for GIS. The program will play a key role in
furthering the understanding of how imagery can be used beyond a reference
dataset within the GIS community and beyond. The partnership will also focus on
deploying Esri and PCI Geomatics’ software, along with imagery data from MDA
and RapidEye, via the Esri and PCI Geomatics Grant Program.
