RICHMOND HILL, Ontario, Canada—April 10, 2014: PCI Geomatics has
successfully delivered its high speed and automated Historical Airphoto
Processing (HAP) system to Nationwide Environmental Title Research (NETR).
“The HAP system has really
reduced our project turnaround time,” said Brett Perry, President of NETR. “Our
operations have become more streamlined, while we increase productivity at a
reduced expense.”
Founded in 1993, NETR provides real estate research and information services
nationwide and is the owner of the HistoricAerials.com website.
HistoricAerials.com has acquired over 1000 terabytes of aerial photography and
created a proprietary database of orthorectified imagery displaying historical
aerial imagery of land and buildings throughout the United States. The distinction of this website and its
technology is to provide remote sensing capabilities to position a given
location through time on orthophotography and orthorectified maps. This allows for analysis, comparison, change
detection, as well as identification, measurement, property layout, and
obtaining geospatial coordinates of features that no longer exist.
The HAP workflow leverages
multi-pass processing and automated ground control and tie point collection,
producing an accurate math model that can be used to produce seamless
ortho-mosaics from hundreds or thousands of airphotos; even without camera
calibration files. The system is built with PCI’s proven Geomatica technology
and can be scaled to meet all requirements for historical airphoto correction.
“It doesn’t matter if we are working with 10
or 10,000 images, our workflow remains consistent and the results are
excellent,” said Jeff Teasley, Director of HistoricAerials.com. “Using the HAP system has allowed us to grow our online repository of
historical imagery to stay ahead of demand and better serve our clients.”
