OrthoVista^® for the 21st Century –

Stellacore Corporation is Re-energizing The Geospatial Industry Standard for Orthophoto Mosaics

Parker, Colorado, USA – January 1, 2012: Stellacore Corporation, the creator of OrthoVista^®, today announced that it will re-engage in development, sale and support of OrthoVista^® since the exclusive marketing and development relationship it had with Trimble has now ended.

OrthoVista^® has been the standard mosaicking application throughout the photogrammetric mapping and remote sensing industry since its creation by Stellacore in 1997. OrthoVista^® improves the quality, utility and value of digital orthophoto products by automation of the color correction and mosaic stitching process. Stellacore is re-engaging directly in active product development to provide a next generation OrthoVista^® with entirely overhauled high-performance throughput capabilities.

OrthoVista^® History

A review of the OrthoVista^® history:

1. Began development on OrthoVista^® as a product in late 1996 based on input from DigitalGlobe

2. Delivered the initial working prototype to DigitalGlobe in early 1997

3. Delivered the first production ready release to DigitalGlobe in mid 1997

4. Sold first licenses beyond DigitalGlobe to Emerge in early 1998

5. Entered into a global exclusive marketing and distribution agreement with Zeiss in mid 1998

6. Started OrthoVista^® Direct (direct sales and marketing) in mid 1999 due to the agreement with Zeiss unraveling when the proposed Zeiss Photogrammetry/LH Systems merger came apart

7. Began a global marketing and distribution relationship with INPHO GmbH in late 1999

8. Entered into an exclusive global marketing, distribution and development agreement with INPHO GmbH in 2001

9. Carried over the exclusive with INPHO to Trimble when INPHO GmbH was acquired by Trimble in early 2007

10. Ended the exclusive agreement with Trimble on December 31, 2011

OrthoVista^® Next Generation

The architecture of OrthoVista^® was quite good for the time but now the performance will be boosted by the orders of magnitude required to keep up with new sensor systems and modern data acquisition projects. First the architecture of OrthoVista^® will be modernized to leverage Stellacore’s leading edge, sophisticated and highly scalable multi-threaded/multi-core architecture. Following this, development efforts will begin to enhance and add specific features, based on input from customers. These efforts will be done in increments which will complement the old OrthoVista^® product, customers currently use, until a complete replacement for the old OrthoVista^® product is released. While the next generation OrthoVista^® product is being developed and released in incremental complementary add-on modules, customers just needing additional licenses of the old OrthoVista^® product, currently being used, should contact Trimble.

Additional Aerial Solutions from Stellacore Corporation
