San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. -- BAE Systems BAE Systems British manufacturer of aircraft, missiles, avionics, naval vessels, and other aerospace and defense products. BAE Systems was formed (1999) from the merger of British Aerospace (BAe) with Marconi Electronic Systems. has released the latest version of its SOCET SET SOCET SET is a software application that performs a variety of functions related to photogrammetry. It is developed and published by BAE Systems. SOCET SET is notable because it was the first commercial digital photogrammetry software program. (R) geospatial analysis and photogrammetry photogrammetry: see aerial and satellite photography. software. SOCET SET is used worldwide to measure and map geographic information based on aerial and satellite imagery. The new software, SOCET SET v5.3, introduces optimized workflows that reduce manual input and processing times, and improve overall productivity. "These new capabilities are the direct result of feedback and requests from users," said Kevin Malone, BAE Systems' vice president and general manager of Geospatial eXploitation Products (GXP GXP Geospatial Exploitation Products GXP Galaxy Police (anime) GXP Grid Exit Point (utilities, electricity) GxP Good X Practice ). The new release includes automated features that reduce errors, increase accuracy, and streamline workflow processes -- all integral to daily workflows and beneficial to users because they offer built-in quality checkpoints. In addition, SOCET SET v5.3 offers sophisticated sensor models to import and process imagery. "Our geospatial research and development is supported by more than 40 BAE Systems engineers who are experts in various aspects of the geospatial domain," Malone said. The engineers focus on algorithmic automation, capabilities for new or evolving data products, data fusion and visualization, real-time precise geo-registration, rigorous sensor modelling, and geospatial Web services. SOCET SET is a commercial, off-the-shelf software product. It can be used in a variety of disciplines that require precise geographic information such as topographic mapping, transportation, urban planning, natural resources management, telecommunications, disaster relief, homeland security, defense, and the planetary sciences. The software allows private-sector and government customers worldwide to make digital terrain models, image maps, visualizations, Geographic Information System geographic information system (GIS) Computerized system that relates and displays data collected from a geographic entity in the form of a map. The ability of GIS to overlay existing data with new information and display it in colour on a computer screen is used primarily to databases, and more from a wide range of airborne and satellite imagery. The data collected and produced by SOCET SET can be exported in various formats for end-users, or for input to other applications.
