Leica Photogrammetry Suite 9.1

Leica Geosystems Geospatial Imaging (CA, USA) has released Leica Photogrammetry Suite (LPS) 9.1. The introduction of Leica Terrain Format (LTF) provides improved accuracy and processing over LPS 9.0. LTF supports fast update and querying of large quantities of point and line data. Additional features include the DTM Split and Merge tool and additional support for Leica MosaicPro. New versions of ORIMA and PRO600 are also available providing photogrammetry users with an improved workflow processing solution. LPS 9.1 is expected to begin shipping this fall.

New features and enhancements in LPS 9.1 include:
