Leica Photogrammetry Suite 9.2 Released

Leica Geosystems Geospatial Imaging (GA, USA) has announced Leica Photogrammetry Suite (LPS) version 9.2.

In this new version, Leica MosaicPro, a component of LPS, mosaics and displays more rasters than before, providing enhanced and added tools to simplify the processes. Optimising efficiency, Leica MosaicPro automatically loads an image and then renders all the surrounding areas. This new feature minimises load time and decreases overall user management responsibilities. In addition, users may also implement the new undo feature when editing seams during the mosaicking process. This new feature automatically returns a seam to its original state, thereby replacing the previously timely procedure of re-editing a seam when necessary. As a mosaicking alternative, Leica MosaicPro also includes the ability to script mosaicking as a batch process.

 

This release also features several benefits specific to medium format digital cameras. These enhancements include a new user-friendly interface for camera file information, describing each of the parameters associated with camera files. In addition, LPS 9.2 supports additional camera formats and parameters, including SMAC, AUSTRALIS and ORIMA extended parameters. This enhancement promotes higher accuracy for the images captured by medium format digital cameras.

 

In addition, LPS 9.2 includes several other performance improvements, providing enhanced memory handling and greater support of larger projects. In the Terrain Editor module, a component of LPS, the new Terrain-Following Cursor mode automatically moves to the surface of the terrain model, simplifying editing and quality control. The Terrain Prep tool, now also a part of Erdas Imagine Advantage, quickly merges terrain models into a single output. Handling large files very effectively, this enhancement especially benefits LIDAR workflows dealing with dense data.

 

The new sensor models supported in LPS 9.2 include ALOS PRISM RPC, ALOS PRISM, EROS-B, GeoEye-1, Worldview-1, THEOS and FORMOSAT. Also noteworthy, LPS Core includes Erdas Imagine Advantage 9.2, expanding the remote sensing and image processing capabilities of this solution. 

 

LPS 9.2 is expected to begin shipping in early 2008.
