IN THE FIELDA 7.0 magnitude earthquake with an epicenter 10 mileswest of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, occurred on January 12,2010, killing tens of thousands of people, devastatingthe poor, third-world country. The Toussaint LouvertureInternational Airport in Port-au-Prince remained openaccepting foreign flights to support the relief mission.DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-2 satellite began acquiringimagery shortly after the earthquake.DigitalGlobe and GeoEye are two of the many satellitesensors <strong>SOCET</strong> <strong>GXP</strong> supports. When opening imagesfrom supported sensors, <strong>SOCET</strong> <strong>GXP</strong> uses metadataincluded with the images to derive exact coordinatesfor direct association to the ground.On January 16, 2010, Airman 1st Class Perry Aston useda Nikon D3 35 mm digital camera to photograph theToussaint Louverture International Airport from the air.This imagery did not contain metadata for georeferencing.However, when used with <strong>SOCET</strong> <strong>GXP</strong>, the unreferencedimage was registered to WorldView-2 imagery for temporalanalysis and ground space extraction.The 8-band multispectral image and high-resolution,panchromatic DigitalGlobe image were merged anddisplayed in real-time for viewing and analysis of therigorous pan-sharpened result. Using rigorous sensormodels, measurements can be made in true 3-D spacefor storage and retrieval to support information over time.11

IN THE FIELDOrdnance Survey Great Britain (OSGB) captured anaerial view of the 2012 Summer Olympic park in London,England. <strong>SOCET</strong> <strong>GXP</strong> was used to extract 3-D featuresto show progress for buildings under construction. Fullengineering models in COLLADA format were included toshow a visual of current buildings with views of completedbuildings. Projective sensor models for images from theaerial photography, taken by the OSGB, and satelliteimagery, were loaded into a Stereo or a 2-D Multiport for3-D feature collection.Underlying terrain was created automatically using theATG functionality and the input stereo imagery. The ATGprocess generated DSM and bare-earth terrain models.A half-meter TIN was extracted from the stereo imagesto accurately model the earth. The terrain model and 3-Dfeatures were textured with imagery automatically andviewed in the 3D Multiport for site progress assessment.17


Feature extractionCreate, collect, edit, query, store, and retrievegeospatial features and their associated attributeswith information captured directly within the <strong>SOCET</strong> <strong>GXP</strong>environment. <strong>SOCET</strong> <strong>GXP</strong> feature databases, shapefiles,and Esri geodatabases are available for immediate useand dissemination.Esri geodatabasesConnectivity to the Esri Geodatabase provides functionalityto the <strong>SOCET</strong> for ArcGIS and ArcMap®functionality.<strong>SOCET</strong> for ArcGIS displays the ArcMap canvas and enablesaccess to the drawing and editing tools within <strong>SOCET</strong> <strong>GXP</strong>to extract features and superimpose attributes on imagery.<strong>SOCET</strong> for ArcGIS stores and retrieves the feature data,and vectors of the imagery display in a Stereo Multiportwith the associated sensor model.

IN THE FIELDMultispectral, 8-band, WorldView-2 images takenafter the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japanare used to classify oil leaking into the ocean froma damaged refinery. The extent and location of oiland debris in the ocean is monitored over time toassist relief efforts, determine environmental impact,and expose potential navigational hazards.<strong>SOCET</strong> <strong>GXP</strong> algorithms track the footprint of oilwashed into the ocean. Anomaly detection andsupervised classification algorithms quickly establishthe size and location of debris when compared toits surroundings. Viewing and exploitation windowsare linked when roaming to display the results ofmultiple algorithms simultaneously. The spectralsignature of the supervised classification is saved insubsequent image collections for rapid classification.22

IN THE FIELDThe first step in creating accurate geospatial productsis triangulation. On April 27, 2011, a massive tornadotouched down in Tuscaloosa, Ala., killing 50 peopleand causing damage to more than 5,000 homes.Two days later, the National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration’s (NOAA) National Geodetic Survey (NGS)flew an aerial mission using their Trimble®Digital SensorSystem (DSS) to create a digital orthophoto mosaic of thearea to assist relief efforts, and help assess the damage.<strong>SOCET</strong> <strong>GXP</strong> uses imagery and metadata in its nativeformat, eliminating the need to reformat data. Color TIFFimagery from the Trimble DSS is directly associated withthe Trimble POSEO IMU/GPS data within the <strong>SOCET</strong> <strong>GXP</strong>Frame Import process. This process associates theexterior and interior camera orientation information fromthe metadata to the imagery allowing it to be tied to Earth— in this case, the latitude and longitude of Tuscaloosa.24

Complex photogrammetric procedures are simplifiedto enable novice-to-expert users to complete triangulation effortlessly, with options to performadvanced operations. <strong>SOCET</strong> <strong>GXP</strong> reads data from an unprecedented number of image sensorsand supports sensor modeling for all sensors. Using data in its native format increases thecapacity to generate accurate results, and delivers performance and usability advantages.Metadata is often included with imagery to provide a direct associationto the ground when used within <strong>SOCET</strong> <strong>GXP</strong>, such as satellite imagery.A catalog of DTED files provides elevation information for the groundlocation of the imagery allowing the images to align with the ground andto each other within <strong>SOCET</strong> <strong>GXP</strong>.Triangulation displaying the connectionsbetween images and the associatedautomatically generated tie points; colorcoded by the number of measurements.Imagery courtesy of NOAA/NGS.TriangulationTriangulation improves the accuracy of input images, and managesstrips and blocks of mixed source imagery. Ground control, imagecontrol, and/or automatic tie point measurements are processes usedto tie images together, and to the ground. These processes improveaccuracy by adjusting the metadata of input images based on sensorparameter accuracies and derived covariance data. Fully weighted leastsquares bundle adjustment, blunder detection, and graphical analysisprovide full error propagation and reporting. Resulting images are usedto support downstream measurements, feature extraction, terrainextraction, orthophoto production, and processes with error attributes.Tools−−−−−−Triangulation block setupand managementAutomatic tie point matchingGraphical analysis−−−−−−Control point editorInteractive Point MeasurementAutomatic Point Measurement25


IN THE FIELDThe flight mission for the NOAA/NGS relief operationacquired imagery with 30 percent overlap with the intentto produce orthophotos and a high-resolution, largeareacoverage orthophoto mosaic. The entire block ofimagery was loaded into a single <strong>SOCET</strong> <strong>GXP</strong> Multiportafter triangulation, and the Ortho On-the-Fly functionalityapplied. Image pixels stretched and warped to displaythe image as if it were taken from nadir throughoutthe entire image, or a mosaic of many images.Seam lines for an image mosaic are generatedautomatically and displayed for editing withOrtho On-the-Fly processing applied resultingin edits that detail the actual product output.Imagery courtesy of NOAA/NGS.26
