Rapid Response

Challenges

The main challenge for rapid response organizations that desire to derive geospatial data from aerial imagery is to be able to generate them as quickly as possible. Typical operational constraints include shortage of highly-trained personnel and lack of time. There is thus an urgent need for simple and fast solutions that allow generating high-quality data quickly and efficiently.

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 rapid response use Correlator3D™ for several applications, including the following:

- Natural disaster response and planning
- Forest fire management
- Damage assessment
- Flood mapping

Benefits

- Enhanced capability for operational tasks
- Ultra-rapid geospatial data generation
- User friendly and intuitive usability
- Accelerated decision-making

Example

Once raw imagery has been acquired, users can prepare their data for processing in just a few minutes. Geospatial data including DSM, DTM, orthophotos and mosaics can then be generated in a fully automatic manner. For typical projects containing several hundreds of large format imagery, processing times are within a few hours only. Results are ready to use and no other post-processing or editing is necessary.
