SimActive’s Correlator3D™, renowned for its advanced photogrammetry capabilities, now enables users to seamlessly import GCPs collected either firsthand or acquired through third-party vendors, notably including CompassData. This integration is pivotal in optimizing the trade-off between the number of points collected and the associated costs, a common challenge in photogrammetry projects. Additionally, Correlator3D™ facilitates the importation of existing surfaces, such as Lidar points, to extract GCPs effectively. This capability is crucial for augmenting field-collected GCPs with manually created ones from existing surfaces, enhancing the density and accuracy of photogrammetry projects.
Philipp Humel, Vice President of CompassData, emphasized the value of their extensive GCP archive, stating, “Our GCP archive contains over 70,000 points worldwide. When used with high-end photogrammetry software such as Correlator3D, and in combination with manually collected surface derived GCP’s, users can validate the accuracy of their projects.” This collaboration between SimActive and CompassData underscores the significant advancements in the field of photogrammetry, ensuring unparalleled project accuracy and efficiency.
