Leica Geosystems has entered an agreement with IIT Ltd. to sell and support the EROS imagery import module to customers worldwide as part of SOCET SETÒ, the advanced digital photogrammetry solution. The module enables users to access EROS-A1 satellite data in order to triangulate the imagery, extract data in stereo including DTMs and features, and make end products such as ortho-mosaics.
With the IIT EROS import software and the SOCET SET Multi-Sensor Triangulation module, users can import and read satellite imagery into rigorous sensor models and triangulate data from EROS, SPOT, QuickBird and other satellites. Scott Miller, VP of Photogrammetry and LIDAR, Leica Geosystems, GIS & Mapping Division, stated, “The addition of the EROS module is in line with Leica Geosystems’ commitment to simplifying the work process for our customers.” The EROS satellite carries an electro-optical camera and has the ability for broad area, high-resolution coverage of the earth.
SOCET SET handles triangulation, orientation, feature collection, digital terrain models (DTMs), orthophotos, mosaics, fly throughs, and other photogrammetric processes for scanned film imagery, airborne digital imagery and satellite data. SOCET SET can also export the triangulated imagery to ERDAS IMAGINE® or other postprocessing systems to produce products such as perspective scenes in IMAGINE VirtualGISÔ.
SOCET SET’s EROS imagery import module is available from Leica Geosystems effective immediately.
