Key Features
- Supports monochromatic, panchromatic, three- and multi-channel multispectral imagery.
- Supports scanned aerial film, matrix and push-broom digital airborne cameras, small- and medium-format metric cameras, close-range imagers, orthophotos, RPC satellites, LiDAR, UAS imagery and synthetic aperture radar.
- Imports third-party softcopy and pre-processed UAS projects, aerotriangulation results and other orientation files for quick setup.
- Full range of manual and automatic image orientation capabilities.
- Digitizes 3D vectors directly into AutoCAD, MicroStation, ArcGIS or Global Mapper using DAT/EM’s Capture interface.
- Robust and easy-to-use interface for maximum productivity.
- Bird’s-eye, close-up, project overview, 3D vector split window and multiple viewports offer a variety of visualization and feedback tools.
- Ability to apply coordinate transformation.
- Unlimited zoom levels, fast pan and automatic loading of adjacent stereo models with DAT/EM SuperImposition of CAD and GIS vectors over the image view.
- DAT/EM Ortho+Mosaic module for easy and precise creation of orthomosaics.
- Terrain Visualizer tool for dynamic, real-time preview of contours while DTM and breakline objects are created and edited.
- Contour Creator™ for creating and writing the finished contours to the CAD file.
- Interface to the DAT/EM-PCI ProPack to allow use of PCI Geomatica GDB data. (Requires PCI license)
- Airfield3D™ standards-compliant airspace obstruction mapping tool.
Point Translator for importing, regridding and converting point data, including LiDAR and other DTM features. - Several licensing levels from Professional to Mobile available.
