Z/I Imaging chose the Wildcat III 6210 because of its unrivalled performance, memory capacity, and professional features such as SuperScene(TM) antialiasing See anti-aliasing. and multimonitor support. Z/I Imaging is a leading provider of Earth Imaging tools such as aerial cameras, stereo softcopy workstations, photogrammetric scanners, and image management and distribution software. "Z/I Imaging's solutions require high-quality image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished and instantaneous display speeds, which is exactly what the Wildcat III 6210 is engineered to provide," said Jerry Peterson, executive vice president and general manager of 3Dlabs' OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and Division. "We continue to support Z/I Imaging in their commitment to delivering the most advanced Earth Imaging tools on the planet." "The 3Dlabs Wildcat III 6210 delivers unrivalled performance and quality for supporting the unique processing and display requirements of the imaging and photogrammetric communities," said Eric Grigorian, director of Z/I Imaging's Computational Systems Center of Competence. "With the Wildcat III 6210's huge memory and frame buffer An area of memory used to hold a frame of data. Typically used for screen output, the buffer is the size of the maximum image that can be displayed on the screen. The memory, which is either a separate memory bank on the display adapter or a reserved part of regular memory, holds a capacity, our ImageStation 2002 workstations with panoramic 24" monitors add another dimension to our industry-leading stereo photogrammetric production system."
