Key Features

  • Automatically generates high-quality elevation models
  • DTM points can be generated in the north direction; it is possible to generate DTM points in a user-defined system by editing the control file(s) and entering the angle, start point, height, and width
  • Handles aerial, satellite, and ADS40 data
  • Generates DTM points from color or black and white imagery
  • Captures satellite DTMs using rational functions
  • Performs epipolar resampling of stereo imagery on the fly
  • Performs batch processing
  • Supports film-based and digital cameras, such as the Z/I Imaging ® DMC ® (Digital Mapping Camera)
  • Access and store data in TerraShare ®
  • Can automatically post the generated elevation data to a MicroStation design file; writes elevation data into a DTM format
  • Can provide the raw elevation data that is generated before interpolation is used to generate a grid
  • Enhanced matching algorithm
  • Optionally suppresses grid points near breaklines and obscure areas
  • Offers separate class definitions and symbologies for points of different statistical qualities
  • Uses existing DTM points to improve automatic DTM generation
  • Uses a surface reconstruction module to capture DTM points in poor texture areas
  • Explodes borderlines to avoid edge effects
  • Adapting parameter tuning and variation of grid spacing based on terrain's relief characteristics
  • It is possible to check the accuracy and bias of automatically generated points against an ASCII file of control/check points coordinates (Delta Z)
  • Block-wise DTM generation capability
