SimActive Accelerates Point Cloud Generation with new version if Correlator 3D: 10.1
SimActive Inc., a world-leading developer of photogrammetry software, isn’t slowing down. The company recently celebrated their 20th anniversary with the launch of Correlator 3D v. 10, with new features and an undated interface. Now, SimActive announces the release of Correlator3D Version 10.1 – and the emphasis is on speed. In this new version of Correlator 3D, point clouds and digital surface models (DSMs) are generated at twice the speed compared to previous versions.
“The new version reduces processing times by half, which represents a significant technological advance. As an example, a point cloud can be produced from 300 drone images in less than 8 minutes on a single standard PC,” says the company press release.
“Autocorrelation is a highly complex process and is often the bottleneck in any photogrammetric workflow”, said Louis Simard, CTO at SimActive. “Version 10.1 allows users to expedite project delivery, as DSM and point cloud generation represent about 50 percent of the total processing time.”
SimActive is the developer of Correlator3D™ software, a patented end-to-end photogrammetry solution for the generation of high-quality geospatial data from satellite and aerial imagery, including drones. Correlator3D™ performs aerial triangulation (AT) and produces dense digital surface models (DSM), digital terrain models (DTM), point clouds, orthomosaics, 3D models and vectorized 3D features. Powered by GPU technology and multi-core CPUs, Correlator3D™ ensures matchless processing speed to support rapid production of large datasets. SimActive has been selling Correlator3D™ to leading mapping firms and government organizations around the world, offering cutting-edge photogrammetry software backed by exceptional customer support.
