SimActive integrates new Phase One sensor into Correlator3D

To enable mapping professionals to process sub-centimetre aerial imagery while maintaining processing speed and accuracy, SimActive has introduced full support for the Phase One iXM-FS130 sensor in its Correlator3D processing platform.

The Phase One iXM-FS130 is designed for fixed-wing aerial missions and delivers imagery at a ground sample distance of 1cm. With the added compatibility, Correlator3D can process the high-resolution datasets generated by the sensor, performing aerial triangulation and producing dense point clouds, digital surface models and orthomosaics suited to engineering and mapping applications.

According to Louis Simard, CTO at photogrammetry software developer SimActive, the integration allows users to fully leverage the image quality of the iXM-FS130 within a scalable processing environment. He noted that the combined technologies are intended to support detailed, high-resolution aerial mapping workflows.

Phase One, headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, develops digital imaging technology for applications ranging from professional photography to industrial inspection and aerial mapping. The company operates globally through a network of offices and partners.

SimActive, based in Canada, develops Correlator3D, an end-to-end photogrammetry software solution used to generate geospatial data products from aerial and satellite imagery, including drone data. The software is designed to handle large datasets and is used by mapping firms and government organizations worldwide.
