GeoImaging Tools
GeoImaging Tools provides ArcGIS™ users a suite of tools for processing and analyzing imagery in the GIS. PCI Geomatics is introducing a suite of modules that integrate directly into ArcGIS for achieving common image related tasks.
The following modules are currently available / under development:
- Image Correction Module (available now)
- Radar Module (coming soon)
The Image Correction Module offers accurate and efficient means of correcting raw imagery – opening new doors for the integration of remotely sensed imagery into GIS workflows. With the GeoImaging Tools Image Correction Module, you can perform rigorous corrections and ensure multiple types of data are properly registered for further analysis within ArcGIS.
Users now have the option to save the correction parameters into the Raster Processing Definition (RPDef) format, reducing data duplication using PCI’s powerful sensor model definitions. With the Image Correction Module, ArcGIS users can:
- Load 70+ Optical and SAR satellites for integration into ESRI workflows
- Improve the registration accuracy through the collection of control points
- Perform accurate change detection and feature extraction operations in the GIS using imagery corrected using GeoImaging Tools
- Correct many images simultaneously using block bundle adjustments – using tie-points to achieve even higher levels of registration accuracy
The GeoImaging Tools Radar Module provides GIS users with the best tools for Synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) data processing and analysis with support for all commercially available SAR sensors and a comprehensive Polarimetric toolkit.
Application areas for SAR data include:
- Maritime
- Surveillance
- Flood Mapping
- Agriculture
- Forestry
- Wetland Mapping
Benefits of accurately corrected imagery for use in ArcGIS
Poor imagery registration limits GIS user’s ability to efficiently perform simple change detection and feature extraction tasks. With GeoImaging Tools, you can achieve automated and highly accurate image registration.
