Applanix Releases Service Pack 1 for its Industry-Leading Post-Processing Software

RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO – Applanix announced today the release of Service Pack 1 for its industry-leading POSPac 4.2 post-processing software. The service pack is aimed at airborne and land-based POS (Position and Orientation System) users operating a variety of sensors such as aerial cameras, LIDAR, Synthetic Aperture Radar, and vehicle-mounted terrestrial scanners. Service Pack 1 will allow them to take full advantage of enhanced post-processing configurations and performance improvements.

In addition to adding support for the latest release of POS AV Firmware V 3.1, a number of key features specifically aimed at the airborne photogrammetric market have been incorporated in the new service pack

"The Calibration and Quality Control module (CalQC), part of the Photogrammetric Tools Set, has received the most attention," Tatyana Burke, POSPac Product Manager, commented. "We have increased the effectiveness of the software by expanding task-specific functionality, such as tiepoint matching for multiple altitude imagery, increased automation for Exterior Orientation data handling, and an improved image enhancement capability. Users will find the upgrade brings advantages designed to exploit the Direct Georeferencing potential of the POS AV system with more data analysis tools, and image quality control."

In focusing on improved data post-processing, the release of POSPac 4.2 Service Pack 1 increases the efficiency of the digital work environment for users of Applanix integrated Inertial/GPS technology.

POSPac 4.2 Service Pack 1 is available to all current POSPac 4.2 users free of charge. Visit the support section of Applanix' website www.applanix.com for details on how to download your version today.
