PCI Geomatica

Geographic information is increasingly important in almost every academic discipline. Its growing influence and the expanding field of high-tech career opportunities are creating new dimensions in a variety of academic studies. Studica now offers PCI Geomatica for students to allow them to explore the many benefits and uses of geographic information.

PCI Geomatics specializes in creating geo-imaging products and solutions. It is the standard in remote sensing and image processing tools used in over 135 countries worldwide. Geomatica is used by scientists and image professionals across multiple industries to analyze and share data and geo-imagery. It features tools for remote sensing, digital photogrammetry, geospatial analysis, map production, mosaicking and more. Sounds really technical, right? Well, it is but it is also very important in terms of determining the effects of building in any given environment and how businesses function within an existing community. Before we venture into why PCI Geomatica is so important to you and your classroom, let’s delve into what geomatics actually does.

What is Geomatics?

Geomatics is the science that deals with the collection, analysis and interpretation of data relating to the earth’s surface. Its application can be used in a variety of industries including air navigation, archaeology, mapping, disaster management, urban planning, oceanography, agriculture and more. The wide diversity in the study’s application creates diverse employment opportunities. A graduate in geomatics can establish a career as a surveyor, analyst or business owner in environmental sciences– that’s just naming a few. This course of study provides a unique environment that prepares students for the practice of land survey and engineering. It not only prepares students for the future, but also provides them with the tools to build it.

PCI Geomatica for Education Features

Now that we have a basic understanding of geomatics, it is important to highlight some of the qualities that make PCI Geomatica a standard for this growing industry. Check out some of the features included in Geomatica for Education. The Geomatica Total Education suite includes key modules that make it possible to work with satellite, aerial, and radar imagery. Additional included modules consist of DEM Extraction, Pansharpening, and Ortho Production Toolkit to automate the ortho-mosaicking process.

  • Ortho Production Toolkit is a complete collection of powerful, automated tools for the orthorectification and mosaicking of aerial photos and satellite imagery including tools.
  • Pansharpening allows you to fuse low-resolution multispectral (color) data with high-resolution panchromatic (black and white) data to produce stunning, high-resolution, multispectral imagery.
  • Automatic DEM Extraction creates Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) from stereo air photos, stereo images and RADAR data. Image correlation is used to extract matching pixels in two overlapping images.

These are just some of the incredible features you can use to complete assignments on your own schedule, while utilizing the full power of Geomatica software. This education suite addresses the importance of geographic information and its expanding field of advanced career opportunities.
