IMAGINE Photogrammetry
A Complete Suite of Photogrammetry Software Tools
IMAGINE Photogrammetry overview
How do you consolidate multiple photogrammetry projects into a single, fast, manageable workflow? Is it possible to reach new levels of production throughput without compromising the detail and accuracy your customers expect or the functionality you have grown accustomed to? How do you handle photogrammetric projects with a variety of different data types and formats?
Today, photogrammetry and production mapping experts are under pressure to produce more in less time, while maintaining a rigorous degree of accuracy. Hexagon’s Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial division understands this challenge and builds the tools to help you accomplish your goals on time, in scope, and to the preferred accuracy.

Capabilities
IMAGINE Photogrammetry is generally used for the processing of raw imagery through to the creation of geospatial data products such as digital terrain models, 3D features, and digital orthophotos. There are a number of approaches for photogrammetric applications. Imagery may come from remote sensing satellites, airborne cameras (film or digital), or ground-based cameras. In the context of airborne film cameras, the workflow would involve scanning the imagery (creating a digital version of the film imagery), solving the interior orientation parameters, and triangulating the images. Once the images are triangulated, image pairs may be viewed in stereo and 3D measurements can be made. The system can automatically generate digital terrain models, which can be reviewed and edited in stereo. Once an accurate 3D surface has been derived, triangulated images may be orthorectified. In addition to this workflow, IMAGINE Photogrammetry supports 3D feature extraction, radiometric adjustment, and a number of additional digital image processing capabilities available from ERDAS IMAGINE, which is included with IMAGINE Photogrammetry.
