“Satellite in a Suitcase”
Compact Digital Mapping System
Features:

  • Compact, portable photometric laboratory,
    integrating COTS digital sensors, GPS/IMU
    navigation, and geo-spatial data processing
    technology.
  • High-resolution, (1” to 12”) geo-referenced, digital
    imagery automatically acquired from aircraft,
    helicopter, airship, and towers.
  • Semi- to fully-automatic image processing, including
    GPS indexing, distortion correction, enhancement,
    mosaicking, and orthorectification.
  • Ortho image output viewable in Google Earth, Virtual
    World, or other GIS application.  
Capabilities:

Rugged, dependable product performance has been
established over 2 years of field-testing based on
emergency wildfire and border monitoring applications.
This has led to high quality mapping products that are
formatted and presented to provide “actionable
intelligence,” i.e., information that can be used to
direct appropriate responses to any environmental risk
or impact. The results are immediately fed back into the
client’s project assessment and mission planning
processes, so adjustments can be made to optimize
subsequent  mapping missions.
