Orthorectification and Geometric Correction

The Geomatica® orthorectification and geometric correction technology gives you the power to convert imagery into geographically-accurate forms. Corrected images, often called orthoimages, can be accurately integrated with other data to provide a wealth of spatial information. Orthoimages can be directly applied in GIS or mapping applications such as: land use and land-cover classification, terrain analysis, natural resource mapping, image backdrops for maps, temporal-change analysis, multi-image fusion, and image-map fusion.  

PCI Geomatics is an industry leader in providing accurate, efficient, robust, and affordable orthorectification solutions. Geomatica OrthoEngine provides multiple orthorectification and geometric correction solutions for a wide variety of data, including traditional satellite imagery, high-resolution satellite imagery, Radar data and aerial photography. Geomatica also provides a wealth of productivity improvement and automation tools that ensure maximum efficiency for your workflows.
