SimActive: Innovation to Marketplace • Company was founded in 2003 to develop and market innovative geospatial technologies • SimActive’s products result from several years of R&D and usability testing • Technology builds on advanced computer vision algorithms that differ from traditional techniques
Mission Statement • Generate geospatial data from • aerial imagery YOUR OBJECTIVE Long, complex and expensive process YOUR REALITY Correlator3D™ THE SOLUTION SimActive’s mission is to constantly develop and market cutting-edge technologies that simplify and enhance geospatial data production
Growing Challenges • Expensive • Only 30% project costs for data acquisition, remaining 70% associated with production • Not User-Friendly • Complex software tools Geospatial Data Production • Long Process • Several months usually required for data delivery • Skills and Knowledge • Highly-trained personnel required
Design Criterion: Keep it Simple! Correlator3D™ Competitor Product Example
SimActive Positioning Higher-level Data Raw Data Core Data • Mosaics • Polygonal 3D models • Etc. • Images • GPS / IMU data • DSM • DTM • Orthophotos • 3D Changes Correlator3D™
Correlator3D™ INPUT Aerial images (overlapping) OUTPUT • Color, panchromatic, infrared Refined ext. orientation Orientation Parameters DSM LogicielCorrelator3D • Exterior: GPS/IMU data DTM • Interior: focal length, pixel size, distortion parameters Orthophotos 3D Changes Coarse DEM • CDED, DTED, SRTM
Correlator3D™ Modules ExteriorOrientationRefinement Ortho- rectification DSM Generation DTM Extraction 3D Change Detection
Workflow • Prepare Input Data • Camera calibration (ASCII file) • Exterior orientation (ASCII file) • Selection of a coarse DEM • Specification of output characteristics 1 • Correlator3D™ – Automatic Processing • Images are processed individually or pair-by-pair • No human intervention required • Runs on standard PC with 3D graphics card 2 • Visualize / use data • Data produced in standard formats 3
Ortho @ 20cm DSM @ 1m DTM @ 1m Example #1 – Urban Area
DSM @ 1m DTM @ 1m Ortho @ 20cm Example #2 – Rural Area
Example #3 – New Building Imagery @ 5cm (Oct. 2000) Imagery @ 40cm (Jul. 2006) Detected Changes DSM @ 1m DSM @ 3m
Example #4 – Demolished Building Imagery @ 40cm (Jul. 2006) Imagery @ 5cm (Oct. 2000) Detected Changes DSM @ 3m DSM @ 1m
Processing Time & Output Quality • Statistics for 250 large format images (100MP) at 20cm covering 400 km2
Benefits in a Nutshell • FASTER... • Up to 60 times faster than currently available tools • Data production can be performed in parallel on multiple machines • Software designed to quickly process thousands of images • EASIER… • Minimal software and data manipulation requirements • Highly-trained personnel are no longer required, virtually no parameters to set • Easy integration into any third-party workflow • BETTER... • Better geospatial data at the fraction of the cost • Uses advanced computer vision algorithms • Produced data are ready-to-use • Cost-effective alternative to LIDAR data
