FORSAT SOFTWARE
FORSAT consists of modules for the geometric and radiometric processing of satellite HR (high resolution) and VHR (very-high resolution) imagery from optical sensors, 2D/3D information extraction and 3D change analysis.
FORSAT allows you to:
- Handle satellite images and measure image and ground points with manual and semi-automated modes;
- Improve geometric sensor orientation;
- Derive quasi-epipolar images for 3D stereo measurements in the images;
- Extract Digital Surface Models (DSMs) by using a precise and robust image matching approach, which was specially designed for HR/VHR satellite imagery;
- Generation of orthoimages;
- Measure 3D information in single images using mono-plotting;
- Extract 2D and 3D objects;
- Import digital elevation models, align them using advanced 3D surface matching approach and calculate the 3D differences between them.
- Evaluate changes in surface models.
FORSAT supports most of the HR and VHR optically imagery commonly used for civil applications: IKONOS, OrbView – 3, SPOT – 5 HRS, SPOT – 5 HRG, QuickBird, GeoEye-1, WorldView-1/2, Pléiades 1A/1B, and sensors of similar type to be expected in the future.
