ERDAS Provides Geospatial Images in AutoCAD Desktop Products19/06/2008 |
| ERDAS (GA, USA) has released an ECW and JPEG 2000 plug-in for AutoCAD 2007/2008/2009. AutoCAD users can now access massive amounts of geospatial image data (100's of gigabytes or terabytes) through the ECWP high-performance streaming imagery protocol. |
|
The ECWP streaming protocol is provided by ERDAS' Image Web Server (IWS). ECWP transmits JPEG 2000 or ECW data. JPEG 2000 is the non-proprietary standard image format for the International Organisation of Standardisation (ISO), supported by most major geospatial applications. ECW is an image compression format developed by ERDAS with major industry support.
With this updated plug-in, AutoCAD desktop products can now read ECWP image streams, enabling users to utilise the benefits of IWS within the AutoCAD desktop environment. IWS is a high-speed, specialised server application that efficiently distributes large volumes of geospatial image data. IWS solves the infrastructure congestion problems associated with deploying large amounts of image data, enabling users to quickly access the information they need.
This new plug-in is compatible with AutoCAD 2007, 2008, 2009. Additional plug-ins are available for previous versions. For AutoCAD Map 3D and Civil 3D, users may access geospatial imagery via the WMS protocol, also served by IWS. www.erdas.com/downloadecwautocad.e2b www.erdas.com/erdasCompanyWebinars.aspx?CURRENTID=51

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories |
|
The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
