Introduction to IPSAerial image data processing software

Designed on remote sensing and collection expertise

Compatible with any frame-based sensor (Platform agnostic)

Creates high-resolution topographic productsOrthomosaics

Digital Terrain/Digital Surface Maps

3D models from raw image data

Oblique/Thermal processing

Training, support and installation services

Value PropositionComprehensive, global-reach aerial imagery collection

Rapid-deployment flexible platform

Adds support for new sensors (UAS/UAV, thermal, oblique)

Comprehensive photogrammetric processing software completely within ArcGIS

Deriving 3D data (DSM, Point Cloud, Model, Parametric) for ArcGIS

Aerial Triangulation (AT)

Intelligent tie-point management engine for strong connectivity and uniform distribution

No extra data required (e.g. position, rotation, scale)

Minimal outliers

Correlates images with different resolutions (GSDs)

Indifferent to misleading regions (clouds, lakes)

GPU-enabled for expedited processing capabilities (high performance-value in designated workstations)

Enables Incremental workflow

Uses most advanced numerical optimization methodsCompatible with a large number of images per photogrammetric blockAdaptive weighting functionRobust bundle option for high-accuracy, low RMS Aerial-triangulation in a ground-controlled projectExports to all standard industry formats (PAT-B, SUP, etc)

Elevation Extraction (EL)

2 Options:DTM Sparse – Fast production of general elevation layer (<10 minutes for large blocks)

DTM Dense – High density and detail elevation extraction, 2-3X GSD production density

Produces Dense Surface Models (DSM), then uses high density data to produce a lower density Terrain Model, with limited additional processing

Extracts Point Clouds from Stereo Imagery, including color values in LAS format

Orthorectification and Production

Fast and automated Orthorectification

Compatible with multiple formats Geotif, ASCII, DEM, etc.

Simple integration with LiDAR dataRuns directly on LAS files

Incorporates breaklines for bridges or extreme terrain rectification

Compression and overview creation

Converts multiple bit and band combinations

Orthorectification and Production

Final Orthorectified Image

Automatic Seamline Extraction

Icaros Smart Seamlines – automatic optimal seamline extraction

Multiple-image color adjustment and balancing

Automatic brightness profiling and dodging for uniformity

Advanced feathering algorithm

Multi-core and GPU architecture for performance enhancement

Enables incremental workflow

Automatic Seamline ExtractionSeamlines are automated to follow natural passes and roadways, as well avoid

cutting through structures

Interactive Seamline Editor

User-friendly and comfortable seamline editing environment and tools

Interactive Seamline EditorSelect a seamline, shift it and view the new mosaic created from the edited seamline

in real time

Advanced FeatheringAdvanced feathering allows for a seamless blend between all images in the

mosaic, as shown in this mosaic scene

Modeling illumination affect and vignetting by fitting a surface.

Color Balancing

Advanced Editing (ED)

Patch Mosaic – Replace any area in a final mosaic with alternative orthorectified data

Correct small artifacts in the orthomosaic

Replace unwanted building lean, sun glare on rooftops or water surfaces

Super Tile – Combine over 100 tiles into a single editable tile, in any Graphic Manipulation Software, then apply general tweaks to the entire project

Clouds cover an entire area of the image
