Intergraph Now Offering Feature Analyst for GeoMedia

Intergraph (AL, USA) has unveiled Feature Analyst for GeoMedia. The product was developed by Visual Learning Systems, Inc. (VLS) (MT, USA) as an add-on tool for Intergraph's GeoMedia platform.

Available only from Intergraph, Feature Analyst for GeoMedia provides automated recognition and extraction of features, such as ships docked in a harbour and earthquake-damaged roadways and buildings in digital imagery. The product will integrate with two key Intergraph platforms and enable mapping, security and intelligence agencies to increase efficiency and accuracy in feature extraction and reduce decision and response time cycles. By speeding map production and decision-making processes, Intergraph enables geo-intelligence leaders to more effectively execute missions and protect communities and critical infrastructure.

Feature Analyst for GeoMedia will enhance the Geo-Intelligence Production System (GIPS) and ImageScout image exploitation platforms. The sophisticated capabilities of Feature Analyst integrated with the GIPS solution provides automated extraction of large quantities of detailed map features from underlying imagery, increasing reliability and making map production less tedious. For example, when comparing before and after images of coastal communities affected by hurricanes, users can make a rapid determination of affected structures and viability of access routes.
