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.

Aerial Solutions from Stellacore Corporation
Need a software solution for your oblique
imaging projects? PictoVera is THE robust solution to meet your needs for
oblique imaging projects especially for projects requiring precision oblique
imagery. Have projects flown at multiple
altitudes and with multiple single or multi-sensor payloads (multiple
aircraft)? PictoVera is THE robust solution to meet your complex aerial data
acquisition project needs especially for projects requiring a simultaneous
adjustment with observations from multiple sensors.
PictoVera is a software system that
processes source data from airborne pushbroom (Leica ADS40/80, Wehrli 3OC,
etc.), or frame (Intergraph DMC, Microsoft Vexcel
Imaging UltraCam, etc.), or oblique (custom, Wehrli and Track’Air MIDAS,
etc.), multi-sensor and cross-sensor (optical and LiDAR) payloads/systems.
Multiple data products are produced automatically, reliably, efficiently, and
profitably. Products include classic orthophotos and high quality stereo-models.
The system has sufficient performance that one inexpensive computer is capable
to process all data from a single sensor system. PictoVera provides
production-scale processing for airborne sensor systems. Additional Information.
