In August 2006, IAVO Research and Scientific began production of high resolution ortho-mosaics in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. To meet the challenges of exploiting Buckeye's high resolution sensor data in the necessary timelines we employed GeoGenesis™ in our production facility. GeoGenesis™ provides the functionality necessary to handle thousands of images in a single project without the overhead of expensive and cumbersome photogrammetric workstations. As our production tasks increase we continue to develop additional capabilities to increase bandwidth and reduce production timelines. Included in these capabilities are:
- Batch import of thousands of unrectified images and support data
- Batch camera calibration file generation
- Automated tie point extraction
- Supplemental control point extraction from LIDAR
- Bundle adjustment (X,Y,Z, omega, phi, kappa)
- Batch orthophoto generation
- Automated radiometric balancing
- QA/QC
- Project report generation
Using GeoGenesis™ we are able to satisfy requirements for rapid and cost-effective production of Buckeye digital orthophotos. We continue to augment capabilities within GeoGenesis with each new task and are expanding to include these capabilties for application on a broader scope of geospatial imagery.
