New developments of SOCET SET ® 1 , ORIMA and PRO 600

Geographic information generated by photogrammetry is originating from a growing range of sensors. Both LIDAR and IFSAR systems and the recently introduced digital airborne sensors will be particularly significant. Organizations producing such information encounter increasing competitive pressure as commerce becomes more global. Productivity is the universal key. Modern requirements for photogrammetric systems, therefore, emphasize data fusion and automation. The evolution of software products available from LH Systems reflects these twin goals and considerable progress can be reported: throughputs from digital photogrammetric production are on the increase. Nevertheless, rather little has been achieved in certain critical areas of automation, a situation that must urgently be addressed. 1 SOCET SET is a registered trade mark of BAE SYSTEMS Mission Solutions Inc.
