FEATURED DEVELOPMENTS
Add 3D Information to
Your Geospatial Analysis

Today, geospatial products - such as coastal erosion maps, viewshed studies, and forest inventories - are used as an important source of information when making critical decisions in a variety of industries and applications. Many organizations are now adding LiDAR data to their geospatial analysis for its unique ability to provide highly accurate and detailed 3D information about an area of interest.

E3De™ is a software environment for analyzing and extracting 3D information from LiDAR data. This new, interactive product has the advanced tools you need to create realistic 3D visualizations, extract 3D features from a scene, or produce 3D products and layers from raw LiDAR point cloud data. More about E3De.

Case Study:
Using Imagery to Find Gold-Bearing Alteration Zones

Dr. Wasit Wulamu, Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Saint Louis University, and his colleagues performed a pilot study to develop a cost-effective method for using remotely sensed imagery to find gold in regions of the world like the Abu-Marawat area in the eastern Desert of Egypt.

Detect Targets and Threats ENVI Image Analysis Software for Defense and Intel
In Defense and Intelligence applications, locating hidden targets and identifying potential threats are crucial to mission success. Today, geospatial imagery and ENVI image analysis software are used to provide tactical information about a geographic area, reveal targets, detect threats and create situational awareness. Watch a short video now.

Access Timely Imagery to Make Critical Decisions

A previous obstacle to using imagery in time-sensitive operations was the time it took to download large images in the field. Now, the Image Access Solutions (IAS) Mobile Viewer for Android enables end-users to seamlessly access and view the latest imagery information directly on their mobile devices, even over highly constrained bandwidths.
