| Introduction
With the deployment of a number of different remote sensing platforms
yielding imagery of varying resolution and bandwidth, Cyberland
gives you the ability to quickly and accurately fuse disparate remotely
sensed imagery. This fast and easy fusion of multi-temporal and
multi-band imagery into a single data product is accomplished using
tried and proven image matching techniques developed at Supresoft.
CyberLand makes full use of
the spectral information contained in high resolution, panchromatic
SPOT imagery and multi-spectral TM imagery.
Applications for CyberLand
are many and varied and include:
- map updates
- land planning
- resource analysis
- disaster management, etc.
Main Functions
CyberLand has
been designed for the fast and accurate matching, fusing and rectifying
of various remotely sensed images.
Homologous
points are matched quickly and accurately:
- CyberLand can rapidly
identify a dense, evenly distributed and accurate field of homologous
points in two images of the same area. The matching routines can
easily find 10,000 to 100,000 homologous points in a matter of
seconds. By the differential rectification of small surface elements,
CyberLand successfully
avoids problems such as image blur, often caused by the poor superimposition
of fused images (especially prevalent in mountainous areas)
- Image rectification is performed efficiently and accurately:
- Differing rectification techniques are utilized for different
kinds of imagery
- For SPOT imagery, precise rectification needs only 5-8 control
points within the DRG and the root mean square error (RMSE) of
the eventual orthoimage is less than 1.5 pixels
Powerful visualization:
- Superimposition of various spatial data sets such as Digital
Orthorectified Maps (DOM), Digital Raster Graphics (DRG) and Digital
Elevation Models (DEM) etc.
- Dynamic, real-time adjustment for each layer's transparency
- Concurrent, real-time processing of a number of images
- The provision of various tools in the viewer for superimposition,
estimation and distance measurement, etc.
User friendly interface:
- CyberLand has uniform
interfaces and simple wizards for many complex functions
CyberLand provides
two methods to check planimetric accuracy for rectified imagery:
- Superimpose different images and DRG to visually check the planimetric
accuracy directly, or by quantitatively measuring the offset between
two layers
- Checking the RMSE of corresponding points in the rectified images
and the reference data (e.g. Orthoimage, DRG, Control Points.)
