RICHMOND HILL, Ontario, Canada—May
14, 2014: PCI
Geomatics, a world-leading developer of remote sensing and photogrammetric
software and systems, announced today that the company is making its training
textbooks available to the general public for non-commercial use.
“PCI’s extensive training program
is one of the most flexible around,” said Kevin Jones, Director of Marketing at
PCI Geomatics. “Last year, we supplemented our classroom training programs with
a convenient, online program to further ease the learning process. Making our
textbooks available, free of charge, to anyone hoping to learn more about our
software, and image processing in general, is the natural next step our
educational initiative.”
PCI Geomatics’ instructor-led
training courses cover a wide range of topics for users of all skill and
experience levels. In Geomatica I, students learn about viewing geospatial
imagery in Geomatica Focus and the basics of geospatial data processing.
Geomatica II introduces advanced concepts such as imagery classification,
atmospheric correction, and spatial analysis. The Geomatica OrthoEngine two-day
program takes users on an in-depth tour of the most popular module in Geomatica
by teaching orthorectification, DEM extraction, mosaicking, and the company’s
award-winning pansharpening tool.
Due to popular demand, PCI
Geomatics recently introduced a fourth course to its online training program –
Geomatica Radar. Continuing its role as a leader in the field of Synthetic
Aperture Radar (SAR) image analysis, the company delivers a course detailing
the orthorectification, calibration, polarimetric analysis and classification
of SAR imagery.
Until now, the textbooks were
only available as part of a complete training program. The information
contained is the training textbooks can be easily adapted, and contains a great
deal of information to help teach basic and advanced remote sensing concepts.
PCI Geomatics hopes that Universities, colleges and other educational
institutions can leverage these resources to enrich their curriculum.
