Agriculture

Challenges

The main challenges for organizations in agriculture are land management and environmental protection. Geospatial data derived from imagery such as orthophotos and digital surface models are very useful for such applications. However, their generation using currently available tools is impractical for most organizations as it requires highly-trained personnel.

Correlator3D™ Software

Correlator3D™ is an ultra-rapid software solution for the generation of high-quality geospatial data from imagery. Designed for speed and ease of use, Correlator3D™ automatically produces digital surface models (DSM), digital terrain models (DTM), orthophotos, mosaics and 3D change maps at a fraction of the cost and time of currently available tools. Highly-trained personnel are no longer needed.

Applications

SimActive's customers in agriculture use Correlator3D™ for several applications, including the following:

- Watershed analysis
- Crop inventory
- Soil erosion assessment
- Topography analysis
- Flood plain management
- Change monitoring

Benefits

- Quick generation of terrain profiles
- Easy analysis of agricultural areas
- Ultra-rapid geospatial data generation
- User friendly and intuitive usability

Example

Users can easily generate DSMs and orthophotos using their existing aerial imagery. Results are ready to use and no other post-processing or editing is necessary. Terrain profiles can then be quickly generated to analyze the topography of the land. Such profiles are typically used to determine terrain slopes to assess environmental impacts of agricultural practices.
