From the Image to the Map
Groupe Alta presents the Alta Photogrammetry Suite, an assembly of its photogrammetry software applications comprising:
- IBP: Image Batch Processing for imagery conversion and enhancement also including color balancing, rotation, re-sampling, band manipulations, hue & saturation and other filters.
- Orientation: Batch import of stereoscopic models, as well as Automatic Interior Orientation to prepare imagery for 3D data capturing and orthomosaicing.
- DVP: 3D stereoscopic data capture with powerful editing tools and plugins for popular CAD & GIS applications.
- Orthomosaic: Orthorectification and assembly into a tone-balanced image map in an easy one-step process.
Alta APS Benefits
