SOCET GXP® v3.1 features new Xport™
SOCET GXP® v3.1 continues on the path to full integration of image analysis and geospatial analysis in one software application. Terrain, imagery, and image enhancements account for 42 percent of the updates. This version incorporates additional photogrammetric processes — a majority of SOCET SET’s functionality.
The new SOCET GXP Xport features up to 16 linked preview panels.
The Xport™, a specialized Multiport that provides a palette of up to 16 preview panels, is among many compelling new features planned for SOCET GXP v3.1. This viewing and exploitation window is designed for advanced image analysis using multiple image enhancements in real time, with a focus on efficiency. Each of the panels is linked; views change as the user roams in the main viewer, and multiple enhancements are shown on the same image simultaneously. Additional Xport highlights:
- Each preview panel shows a duplicate of the image in the parent reference Multiport panel with a different custom processing chain applied.
- Processing chains include different band selections, band math, enhancements, analysis algorithms, or derived products.
- Each panel is dynamically linked for panning, zooming, and rotation with other panels and the parent reference panel.
- Users can create multiple configurations for the Xport and select the appropriate configuration for the data in the parent Multiport panel.
The Xport and other new SOCET GXP v3.1 features such as the flip tool, auto annotation, slope aspect, and Web services tools will be demonstrated throughout the year at industry tradeshows and events. The software is scheduled for release in late 2009.
