Applanix Releases POSPac AIR 4.3 Software for Airborne Data Post-Processing

Applanix announced today the release of POSPac AIR 4.3, the latest update to its industry-leading airborne data post-processing software.

Exclusively developed for the aerial survey and remote sensing industry, the customized software incorporates a series of application-specific tools for systems using the company’s POS AV (Position and Orientation System, Airborne Vehicles) Direct Georeferencing technology.

"Designed for accuracy and workflow efficiency, the POSPac software has been expanded to provide a complete solution for our airborne customers," said Joe Hutton, Applanix Director of Airborne Products. "For example, rather than moving between separate software programs to perform various functions, the POSPac 4.3 software now enables data post-processing to be completed within one package. In addition, the toolsets are designed to optimize the data usage depending upon the sensor being georeferenced. It is a very powerful software suite with a focus on usability and performance."

Application-specific toolsets include Photogrammetry Tools for system calibration and quality control of Direct Georeferencing for frame cameras, DSS Tools for mission management and image development of DSS imagery, and SAR Processing Tools for use with Synthetic Aperture Radar. New to the Photogrammetry Tools is an Automatic Tie-point Generation engine, for improved workflow efficiency.

Several new enhancements to the GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation Processing Tools have also been added, including improved coordinate transformations and simultaneous multiple base station processing in POSGPS via a single, simple step. To find out more visit the POSPac AIR product page.
