Integrated Technologies Combine to Form Powerful Military Planning Tool
ROCHESTER, NY - October 26, 2007 - Pictometry International Corp., the worldwide leader in digital, aerial oblique imagery and measuring software systems, announced today that it will feature the Pictometry Military Planner(tm) at the 2007 Military Communications Conference, October 29-31 in Orlando, FL.
The Pictometry Military Planner is the most advanced of a range of Pictometry 3D modeling analysis tools specially designed for military use. It rapidly creates 3D fly-through models from 2D data and uses Pictometry's oblique images to automatically apply photo-realistic textures to the model, further enhancing the realism of the virtual scene. It also includes a number of important features including radar analysis, weapon range detection, flight planning, troop movement analysis, shadow analysis, slope analysis and the ability to digitize trees to create more realistic 3-D views. The Pictometry Military Planner is designed to work in theatre using an integrated Image Solver that allows for the geo-referencing of oblique or nadir images captured without any geo-spatial information. Once geo-referenced, the images can be used like any other intelligent image within the Pictometry Military Planner system.
"Military planners now have a tactical system powerful enough to provide the very best information available for more accurate and effective planning," said Pictometry's Dante Pennacchia, Chief Marketing Officer. "The Pictometry Military Planner blends the latest technologies to create a tool that is unlike any other."
Pictometry products will be located in booth no. 232. This 26th annual conference, which is hosted by AFCEA International (Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association), the IEEE Communications Society (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) and Harris Corporation. The conference features the latest in government and defense communications technology and typically attracts more than 4,000 leading professionals and technologists in military and industry to debut state-of-the-art exhibits and demos.
