5. Introduction to IPS
Aerial image data processing software
Designed on remote sensing and collection expertise
Compatible with any frame-based sensor (Platform
agnostic)
Creates high-resolution topographic products
Orthomosaics
Digital Terrain/Digital Surface Maps
3D models from raw image data
Oblique/Thermal processing
Training, support and installation services

6. Value Proposition
Comprehensive, global-reach aerial imagery
collection
Rapid-deployment flexible platform
Adds support for new sensors (UAS/UAV,
thermal, oblique)
Comprehensive photogrammetric processing
software completely within ArcGIS
Deriving 3D data (DSM, Point Cloud, Model,
Parametric) for ArcGIS

7. Aerial Triangulation (AT)
Intelligent tie-point management engine for strong
connectivity and uniform distribution
No extra data required (e.g. position, rotation, scale)
Minimal outliers
Correlates images with different resolutions (GSDs)
Indifferent to misleading regions (clouds, lakes)
GPU-enabled for expedited processing capabilities
(high performance-value in designated workstations)
Enables Incremental workflow

9. Solution Manager
3 Concurrent synchronized views of the data:
Alpha-numeric
Multi-Image presentation
Geographic
Uses most advanced numerical optimization methods
Compatible with a large number of images per
photogrammetric block
Adaptive weighting function
Robust bundle option for high-accuracy, low RMS Aerialtriangulation in a ground-controlled project
Exports to all standard industry formats (PAT-B, SUP, etc)

12. Elevation Extraction (EL)
2 Options:
DTM Sparse – Fast production of general elevation
layer (<10 minutes for large blocks)
DTM Dense – High density and detail elevation
extraction, 2-3X GSD production density
Produces Dense Surface Models (DSM), then uses
high density data to produce a lower density
Terrain Model, with limited additional processing
Extracts Point Clouds from Stereo Imagery,
including color values in LAS format

13. Dense Digital Surface Model and Terrain Model

14. Dense Surface Elevation Extraction in Urban
Settings
Overlaid Rectified Imagery to Recreate 3-D Model

15. Orthorectification and Production
Fast and automated Orthorectification
Compatible with multiple formats
Geotif, ASCII, DEM, etc.
Simple integration with LiDAR data
Runs directly on LAS files
Incorporates breaklines for bridges or extreme
terrain rectification
Compression and overview creation
Converts multiple bit and band combinations

16. Orthorectification and Production
Final Orthorectified Image

17. Automatic Seamline Extraction
Icaros Smart Seamlines – automatic optimal
seamline extraction
Multiple-image color adjustment and balancing
Automatic brightness profiling and dodging for
uniformity
Advanced feathering algorithm
Multi-core and GPU architecture for performance
enhancement
Enables incremental workflow

18. Automatic Seamline Extraction
Seamlines are automated to follow natural passes and roadways, as well avoid
cutting through structures

19. Interactive Seamline Editor
User-friendly and comfortable seamline editing environment and tools

20. Interactive Seamline Editor
Select a seamline, shift it and view the new mosaic created from the edited seamline
in real time

21. Advanced Feathering
Advanced feathering allows for a seamless blend between all images in the
mosaic, as shown in this mosaic scene

22. Automatic Dodging and Profiling
Modeling illumination affect and vignetting by fitting a
surface.

23. Color Balancing

24. Advanced Editing (ED)
Patch Mosaic – Replace any area in a final
mosaic with alternative orthorectified data
Correct small artifacts in the orthomosaic
Replace unwanted building lean, sun glare on
rooftops or water surfaces
Super Tile – Combine over 100 tiles into a
single editable tile, in any Graphic
Manipulation Software, then apply general
tweaks to the entire project
