Oct. 1, 2002 – Intergraph Mapping and GIS Solutions has announced about the worldwide availability of GeoMedia Terrain 5.0, a powerful desktop software for terrain generation, elevation processing, and 3D visualization. GeoMedia Terrain extends
Intergraph’s GeoMedia 5.0 to give GIS professionals unprecedented 3D terrain analysis and visualization capabilities that are integrated on the desktop. With 3D functionality to perform flythroughs, display color-coded elevation or shaded-relief raster
backdrops, and create contour, slope, and visibility polygon features, GeoMedia Terrain helps mapping and GIS professionals better evaluate and communicate features of a site. For example, 3D models and views created
with GeoMedia Terrain can increase understanding of a location for uses such as determining flight path obstructions, selecting military emplacements, choosing a sight for a home, or deciding on new construction corridors for highways.
Unique technology for powerful analysis and modeling
GeoMedia Terrain uniquely employs tiled Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) models to process large amounts of terrain elevation data from sources such as USGS Digital Elevation Model (DEM), USGS Spatial Data Transfer
Specification (SDTS), Intergraph grid elevation data, Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED1 and 2), and GMT defined ASCII formation. This enables greater accuracy for feature calculations in elevation models.New 3D functionality extends GeoMedia environment for better decision-making.
