SOCET SET | September 2006 | Software update
SOCET SET v5.3.1
SOCET SET v5.3.1 has been released to IEC for inclusion in the 6.0 baseline. Significant items in the v5.3.1 release include import, export and processing of terrain precision, NITF and GeoTIFF header updates, Sensor Model Factory updates, triangulation rework for government sensors as well as triangulation outputs for shear analysis, USMSD, and export data compatible with subsequent FHE triangulation. In addition, orthomosaic processing has been improved to allow for pixel void fill from overlapping imagery. These enhancement details along with the multitude of SOCET SET v5.3.0 enhancements will be part of the IEC 6.0 baseline.
SOCET SET Mosaic Manager updated to provide increased performance for orthomosaic production.
The GXP product focus on productivity and accuracy are essential to help shorten the timelines between image acquisition and product generation. The enhanced SOCET SET Mosaic Manager is one example of timelines being reduced without additional software cost and without sacrificing quality or accuracy of the final orthomosaic product.
The Mosaic Manager is an optional module available in SOCET SET, which is licensed and sold as SOCET SET Ortho. The Mosaic Manager application creates large area coverage orthomosaics, orthomosaic sheets or tiles, or individual orthophotos using input georeferenced imagery and terrain data. In addition to creating a nearly seamless output product, there are processing options for automatic seamline generation, seamline feathering and image balancing.
In conjunction with enhancements to the Mosaic Manager application, a new licensing system allows for the production of mosaics on multiple processors.
Significant improvements in processing mosaics can be achieved by distributing the processing across multiple CPUs. Upgrading from SOCET SET v5.2 to v5.3 provides productivity improvements of up to 40% without additional software cost.
