Remote Sensing Imagery Assembly Automated by PCI Geomatics

PCI Geomatics has released ProLines, highly automated image processing chains that are used to correct, mosaic, and enhance imagery, as well as extract elevation data derived from satellite and airborne sensors. Built using the PCI Geomatics Professional Software Development Kit (ProSDK) and advanced Pluggable Functions (PPF) framework, ProLines are designed for production environments and can process large amounts of image data in an unassisted fashion, which reduces labor costs and shortens throughput time. An extension of PCI GeomaticaX technology, ProLines are workflows that enable the automation of repetitive tasks used for orthorectification, mosaicking, pan-sharpening, tone balancing, and other image processing jobs. These cost-effective workflows can be deployed as standalone processing chains or easily integrated into an existing production framework. ProLines are available for all PCI supported airborne and satellite sensors and can be easily customized to meet specific image processing needs. They can also be configured to work with PCI Geomatics’ Job Control System (JCS) for scalability across multiple servers with many processors—Richmond Hill, Ontario
