Geomatica® Applications
Geomatica breaks down the conventional divisions in traditional remote sensing, GIS, photogrammetry, cartography, web and development tools while offering a single integrated environment, meaning fewer errors, less wasted time, and greater productivity.
To learn how Geomatica can support your geospatial data processing needs while increasing your productivity, click on the following Geomatica application examples or click on the following video:
Orthoimage Generation
Images acquired through satellite or airborne sensors contain camera and terrain related distortions, making the images unsuitable for geospatial analysis. The process of orthorectification transforms imagery into map-accurate form by removing camera and terrain related distortions. The resulting orthoimages can be directly applied in remote sensing, GIS, and mapping applications.
Geomatica contains a complete suite of tools supporting orthoimage generation from a wide variety of satellite and airborne sensors, including the new generation of high-resolution satellite sensors.

Image Mosaic Generation
Image-mosaics are digital assembles of adjacent images connected (or ‘stitched’) together into one image. Mosaicking images is beneficial as the end product covers a larger geographic area than the original single images.
Geomatica’s digital orthomosaic techniques remove terrain and image distortions ensuring seamless output mosaics. Both manual (mosaic cutlines and image-to-image color balancing determined by user) and automatic (cutlines and color balancing automatically generated) are available.

Digital Elevation Model (DEM) Generation
Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are images representing ground elevation values. DEMs are essential inputs into applications including orthoimage generation, drainage and watershed analysis, line-of-sight analysis, mission preparation and terrain visualization.
Geomatica OrthoEngine technology offers a variety of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) extraction techniques, as well as a full set of tools for editing DEM data.
Automatic DEM extraction is available for stereo airphotos, or ASTER, EROS, IKONOS, IRS, QuickBird, SPOT, RADARSAT or ASAR images.

Data Access and Interchange
If you have worked with more than one type of geospatial data, you are likely aware of the various problems that can occur when combining several data formats into a single project. Many data types are often incompatible with the specific software packages that are to be used for data inspection and processing. Traditionally, this incompatibility has been a major obstacle for viewing, processing and sharing of geospatial data.
PCI Geomatics’ exclusive Generic Database (GDB) technology makes it possible to view, translate and process geospatial data from over 100 geospatial data formats.

Spatial Analysis
Situation analysis and resulting decisions usually involves the use of more than one data source. Whether determining the suitability of various areas for a specific need, or trying to predict future events such as urban expansion or crop yields, the use of multiple data sources is essential.

Map Production
Accurate and professional maps can relay an incredible volume of information. Geomatica contains a wealth of mapping tools and features to assist in the production of high-quality, accurate maps. Best of all, Geomatica mapping technology is built directly into the Geomatica work environment so that geographical information can be effortlessly imported, exported, layered, edited, and extracted from geospatial data, and then related easily and accurately onto a digital map.
