-- Users can perform 3D modeling with existing hardware --
RICHMOND HILL, Ontario, Canada—August
07, 2013: PCI Geomatics, a world-leading developer of remote
sensing and photogrammetric software and systems, announces with
is partner IAVO, the release of 3D FeatureXtract (3DFE).
By calculating feature heights and outlines of overlapping
satellite or aerial imagery, 3DFE can model 3D features in a 2D environment,
and it does this without any need for specialized hardware. The software was developed
by leading scientists at IAVO, a research and development company based in Durham,
North Carolina.
“3D FeatureXtract will allow customers to
easily derive building footprints, a key requirement for producing true ortho
image products from satellite or aerial imagery,” said Peter Hazlett, Desktop Product
Manager at PCI Geomatics. “3DFE is easy to use and requires no special hardware
– anyone with basic computer skills can learn how to model in 3DFE in a matter
of minutes.”
“We believe 3DFE offers capabilities aligned
tightly with emerging trends in 3D geospatial and feature modeling, and we anticipate
the software being enthusiastically embraced by PCI’s various user communities,”
added Dr. Matthew Heric, Chief Executive Officer at IAVO.
PCI Geomatics continues to provide leading-edge
tools to correct satellite and aerial imagery, having recently released its GXL
2013 software, which includes innovative 2.5D hybrid DSM-to-DTM editing tools. With
3DFE, customers perform true ortho processing, delineate building footprints,
and create fully textured 3D building models.
“Building models are expensive to generate or
purchase from traditional sources,” said David Piekny, Solutions Product Manager
at PCI Geomatics. “Using 3DFE, our customers can easily produce building
footprints, extrude 3D buildings, and also derive building texture information,
all through the use of their existing stereo data collections. The software
provides highly accurate results, is intuitive and simple to use, and will
provide increased production speeds for true ortho projects.”
PCI Geomatics is the global distributor for the software, with additional
distribution through its international reseller network. To find out more, and
