Cadets use SOCET SET®, SOCET for ArcGIS®, and ArcMap® products in the lab to learn photogrammetric workflows and geospatial processing as well as create maps, finished products and reports that are delivered to commanders in the field. They gain firsthand experience on a variety of tasks, such as importing frame or satellite imagery into SOCET SET from numerous government and commercial sources, triangulation, terrain-model generation, orthorectification, and feature collection to meet precise standards. These software applications are used in the field to check for accuracy, create line-of-sight analyses to determine what a sniper can see, create terrain models to help navigate a local geography, and determine the direction a door swings — in or out — for greater situational awareness. Hands-on exercises, taught in the classroom, are invaluable. ]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/shaping-tomorrow%e2%80%99s-leaders-a-legacy-of-geographic-training-at-west-point/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/bae-systems-award-for-excellence-in-photogrammetry http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/customer-partner-spotlight/bae-systems-award-for-excellence-in-photogrammetry#comments Tue, 09 Jun 2009 16:00:30 +0000 cgordon http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/?p=1626
