SimActive Inc., a world leader in photogrammetry software development, announced on March 19, 2024, its strategic approach to integrating Ground Control Points (GCPs) through its flagship Correlator3D™ software. This development is aimed toward each enhancing and validating the accuracy of photogrammetry projects across various domains.
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 variety of points collected and the associated costs, a standard challenge in photogrammetry projects. Moreover, Correlator3D™ facilitates the importation of existing surfaces, reminiscent of 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 worth of their extensive GCP archive, stating, “Our GCP archive comprises over 70,000 points worldwide. When used with high-end photogrammetry software reminiscent of Correlator3D, and together with manually collected surface derived GCP’s, users can validate the accuracy of their projects.” This collaboration between SimActive and CompassData underscores the numerous advancements in the sphere of photogrammetry, ensuring unparalleled project accuracy and efficiency.
