UltraMatch, the new revolutionary photogrammetry processing
MetaSpatial Solutions Pty Ltd., an Australian Geospatial Technology company, announced today the release of new cutting-edge all-in-one enterprise-grade photogrammetry processing solution. This unique software is capable of full production automation, systems integration and distributed multiple PCs utilization capability for a cost-effective, scalable, and reliable production. Terrestrial, aerial and spaceborne data support Images collected by mobile phones, UAVs, manned aircraft, large format cameras as well as spaceborne stereo and tri-stereo imagery captured by satellites are supported for fully streamlined data and GIS-ready map production with minimal human interaction. The recent disruptive SmartSurveyor mobile mapping system, which was released by the company last month, has empowered smart phones, for instance an iPhone, to collect imagery for survey-grade mapping, inspection and GIS application with better than 3cm XYZ accuracy. A fully automated workflow from data capture to GCP collection and fast and accurate map production is enabled with the combination of the SmartSurveyor and UltraMatch solutions.
GNSS raw data pipeline Typically, for minimizing the number of required ground control points, photogrammetry capture platforms employ an external GNSS/IMU system for accurate image geotagging and precise production, however this data has to be separately processed in an external third-party software to be used for geotaggimg the collected imagery. This introduces uncertainties for non-technical users dealing with technical GNSS, Geoid and Datum transformation challenges. With the UltraMatch solution, an automated raw GNSS data synchronization and correction method has been seamlessly coupled with the photogrammetry processing engine eliminating all the technical challenges for a smooth and hassle-free production for everyone not just specialized operators. Raw GNSS data from SmartSurveyor, DJI RTK drones and manned aircraft direct geo-referencing systems are supported by the software. Accelerated Automation and Integration Automation is a key factor for saving time, cost and resources specially for massive and complex projects. The UltraMatch solution offers full API level automation to integrate with other systems and processes such as real-time applications, hybrid desktop and cloud computing and embedded applications. Publishing processed data and streaming in standard protocols consumable by concurrent users in typical desktop or web-based GIS and analytics software is one of the unique capabilities of the UltraMatch software.
Metaspatial smartsurveyor survey-grade Mapping Accuracy
MetaSpatial Solutions' new platform-agnostic SmartSurveyor system turns any smartphone (iOS/Android), tablet or low-cost consumer-grade drone into a precise mapping system with 2cm mapping accuracy in XYZ. MetaSpatial Solutions is an Australian-based geospatial and mapping technology company. The current surveying and mapping practices typically involve using total stations, scanners and GNSS receivers for collecting ground features. Total stations must be established on a tripod for collecting ground features which is normally not adequate to represent the entire site condition and is very time and resource consuming. Laser scanning instruments typically collect over a million points per each scan but require high-end and expensive GNSS and Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) and specialized processing software to produce georeferenced and co-registered precise points.
Alternative affordable solutions. Over the past decade, most of the surveying professionals adopted UAV-based mapping systems as a rapid and cost-effective alternative. However regulations, maintenance, multi-software and packages operation, support and uncertainties can all pose a challenge to typically smaller-size businesses. The SmartSurveyor product concept is born as a result of 23 years of active geospatial and mapping product development. It uses a mixture of sciences and technologies for collecting and producing precise mapping data, and is aimed at doing this at a fraction of the cost and time compared with any other solutions. “We have packaged all the surveying, photogrammetry, mathematics, physics, sensor calibration, datum transformation and error adjustment complexities in a single software and hardware package so it can be simply operated by anyone,” said Adam Chabok, director at MetaSpatial Solutions and inventor of the solution.
3D Observation from space
MetaSpatial Solutions Pty. Ltd. a leading spatial automation and technology company in Australia has announced its new ground-breaking satellite data tasking and streaming platform. The 3D Observation(3dObs) platform enables users to identify their area of interest and task satellites to capture very high resolution optical up to 15cm, multi-spectral and Radar imagery. Captured imagery are then transmitted in near real-time from the ground receivers to the 3DObs servers and processed seamlessly to produce consumable insights and 3D models. This technology enables Petabytes of temporal data capture with very high frequency daily basis from anywhere in the world to produce spatially accurate insights. Thanks to the 3DObs powerful streaming and secure REST API capability, users can access and integrate data within their applications anytime and anywhere even on mobile devices. Construction, government, agriculture, defence, tech companies and other industries can simply and reliably access 24/7 data from the space for evidence-based planning and informed decision making. Better understanding the environmental and landscape complexities, monitoring 3d movements with mm level accuracy from the space, creating 3D terrain models and GIS ready features, crop monitoring and yield management, transportation, smart cities and AI applications are some of the typical use case of spatially accurate space data. We have created this technology to enable a single source access to the massive amount of multi-source space data with extremely simplified tasking, capturing, processing and streaming workflow. This enables both technical and non-technical users to easily and seamlessly access this wealth of data without any hassle and technical complexities, said Dr. Adam Chabok founder and director of MetaSpatial Solution.
