BAE Systems recently developed an algorithm to automatically detect and remove false matches caused by moving vehicles as part of Next-Generation Automatic Terrain Extraction (NGATE) enhancements for the company’s SOCET SET and SOCET GXP photogrammetry software.

Please join us for informal brown bag discussions on July 2, 2009. Learn how to use SOCET GXP’s automated functionality, access to shared databases, and interoperability to create and manage geospatial information effectively.

BAE Systems invites you to join us for an exciting opportunity to see new image processing software advancements, geospatial technology R&D, and collaborate with industry peers.

We’re glad you were able to join us for the 2009 BAE Systems GXP International User Conference and Professional Exchange. Thanks to your participation, the conference was a great success. The exchange of ideas among GXP software users, industry colleagues, and BAE Systems’ staff provided valuable information that we will incorporate into the software development process.

A large group of GXP User Conference attendees traveled to BAE Systems’ Rancho Bernardo campus for a full day of sessions dedicated to government programs. Customer presentations were given by NGA, U.S.A.F., Riverside Research, and ITT. Professional Exchange topics included developers building on SOCET GXP — General Dynamics, Sandia National Laboratories, and Ball Aerospace.

Functionality for the forthcoming SOCET GXP® v3.1 release dominated Wednesday’s presentations. New tools unveiled included the Flipbook, a quick visual way to access data; a Web services tool for connecting to Web content services, and the Xport™, a specialized Multiport that provides a palette of up to six preview panels.

The 2009 BAE Systems GXP International User Conference and Professional Exchange kicked off on Tuesday, May 5 with an introduction by Dan London, vice president of sales and marketing for the GXP business. Dan was happy to report that the debut of SOCET GXP Boot Camp was a big success, and received a positive response from attendees when he suggested that BAE Systems take the Boot Camp concept on the road later in 2009.

Over 100 attendees packed the Scripps Ballroom at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines for the SOCET GXP Boot Camp, a SOCET GXP orientation and prelude to the annual GXP User Conference. Participants learned about the new XA capabilities in SOCET GXP.

We plan to proceed with the 2009 BAE Systems GXP International User Conference and Professional Exchange. We will keep you informed if the alert level is elevated, and take any precautionary steps necessary to protect the health and safety of all participants.
