Aerial Imagery 3D Visualisation

Diamond Visionics (NY, USA) has added large, high-value aerial and satellite imagery to their real-time simulation applications, by using ER Mapper's ECW image format. This imagery provides exceptional detail to the already realistic 3D visualisation produced by Diamond Visionics new GenesisMP product.

Diamond Visionics are using ER Mapper Professional to create seamless ECW image mosaics of nearly one terabyte (1,000 gigabytes) of imagery.

Mr Graham Upton, Vice President Marketing, of Diamond Visionics said, "Diamond Visionics needed an image format that would be scalable, highly compressed and able to be rapidly decompressed at run-time. Of all the options we considered, the ECW format was the clear choice."

ECW compatibility has also been added to Diamond Visionics' GenesisRT application.
