Surdex Chooses Z/I Imaging as Automatic Triangulation Software Supplier; ImageStation Automatic Triangulation 2001 Beats Out Competition At Surdex Corporation.Business Editors & Technology Writers HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 9, 2001 Z/I Imaging Corporation (NASDAQ/NMS:INGR) announced today that Surdex Corporation has chosen ImageStation Automatic Triangulation triangulation: see geodesy. The use of two known coordinates to determine the location of a third. Used by ship captains for centuries to navigate on the high seas, triangulation is employed in GPS receivers to pinpoint their current location on earth. (ISAT ISAT Illinois Standards Achievement Test ISAT International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial ISAT Information Science and Technology ISAT Information and Advisory Service on Appropriate Technology ISAT Illinois State Assessment Test ) 2001 as its automatic triangulation (AT) software. Surdex has been recognized as a premier geo-spatial data provider since 1954, supplying accurate and precise information to a variety of clients from coast to coast in a timely and economical manner. Surdex provides geo-spatial services for municipal, county, state, federal, and private agencies interested in the acquisition of accurate geo-spatial data, GIS applications, and enterprise solutions for their respective markets. "After evaluating existing AT solutions in the marketplace, we chose Z/I Imaging's ISAT 2001 to meet our AT workflow and performance demands," said Craig W. Molander, vice president of Federal Systems and Research & Development, Surdex Corporation. "Our primary reason for choosing ISAT is its openness and flexibility, which allows us to integrate it efficiently into our production flow." ISAT 2001 is an innovative automatic triangulation package that delivers the best-matched multi-ray tie points by using robust built-in bundle adjustment Given a set of images depicting a number of 3D points from different viewpoints, bundle adjustment can be defined as the problem of simultaneously refining the 3D coordinates describing the scene geometry as well as the parameters of the relative motion and the optical during all phases of the image matching operation. ISAT 2001 provides GPS/INS GPS/INS Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System data processing data processing or information processing, operations (e.g., handling, merging, sorting, and computing) performed upon data in accordance with strictly defined procedures, such as recording and summarizing the financial transactions of a , footprint selection that lets users graphically select footprints of photos/models/blocks/strips, unlimited project size using sub-blocks, seamless Applanix POSEO support, camera calibration The determination of the calibrated focal length, the location of the principal point with respect to the fiducial marks and the lens distortion effective in the focal plane of the camera referred to the particular calibrated focal length. , automatic parameter selection and analysis for self calibration and more. ISAT 2001 provides fully automated aerial triangulation from interior orientation to the determination of tie points to the final block adjustment analysis with delivery of orientation parameters. The software features a built-in, comprehensive block adjustment and full editing tools. The computation time In computational complexity theory, computation time is a measure of how many steps are used by some abstract machine in a particular computation. For any given model of abstract machine, the computation time used by that abstract machine is a computational resource which can be of ISAT 2001 is typically 40% faster than other automatic triangulation packages available in the market.
