…Esri for 2013, through the Esri Partner Network (EPN). An Esri partner since April 2009, PCI Geomatics provides leading-edge technology that integrates with Esri’s ArcGIS solution and allows users to automatically process and analyze satellite imagery from many different sensors.
PCI Geomatics software provides powerful and accurate image correction capability that scales from desktop, server, and cloud-based systems to handle projects of any size. PCI’s innovative development and powerful systems led them to work with Esri Inc. on an ambitious project to build a 1m resolution basemap for ArcGIS Online. Through the use of a cloud-based Image processing system, more than 50 million square kilometers were orthorectified, pansharpened, and mosaicked using massive amounts of parallel processing on Amazon’s cloud with PCI’s GXL technology.
PCI and Esri also announced the grant recipients for the Esri and PCI Natural Resource Imagery Grant Program—24 organizations have been selected to receive more than $100,000 worth of software and imagery to solve key natural resources challenges using the combination of image processing and remote sensing for GIS. The program will play a key role in furthering the understanding of how imagery can be used beyond a reference dataset within the GIS community and beyond. The partnership will also focus on deploying Esri and PCI Geomatics’ software, along with imagery data from MDA and RapidEye, via the Esri and PCI Geomatics Grant Program.
