Product Features and Capabilities
3D mesh model creation
Convert images into highly-detailed 3D meshes with advanced color balancing & texturing. High-performance photogrammetry and computer vision algorithms efficiently handle large projects using advanced tiling mechanisms. Results are exportable in multiple formats for full GIS interoperability.
Precision aerotriangulation
Produce highly accurate aerotriangulation for both close-range and large-scale projects, with multiple calculation modes for varying levels of GPS accuracy. Enhance precision with ground control points and an iterative build process that optimizes results.
High-resolution orthophotos
Convert images into high-resolution, multi-band orthophotos with exceptional detail & accuracy. With features like color balancing, edge and surface enhancement, and high-quality texturing, your orthophotos are both visually compelling and data-rich.
Distributed 3D database creation
Share the workload of massive 3D database creation between several computers and processors on your local network. The master computer utilizes networked client computers to create terrain and generate optimized imagery and elevation formats for the server-side, on-the-fly terrain generator.
Automated 3D reconstruction services
Cloud-based, fully automated services for high-quality 2D, 3D, and multi-spectral outputs. Generate 3D mesh, orthophotos, elevation models, and dense point clouds, all compatible with standard GIS tools. Input data and results are managed via your preferred cloud storage.
Seamless fusion of data into 3D World environment
Seamlessly fuse terrain, raster and feature layers, 3D urban models, point clouds, & 2D/3D objects into a high-resolution 3D environment. Advanced tools convert models into Skyline’s optimized format, improving display performance.
Comprehensive geospatial analysis tools
Robust suite of tools for extracting insights from geospatial data. Features terrain analysis tools like line-of-sight, and slope and contour maps, as well as distance and area measurement tools. Advanced options include terrain profile, volume analysis, & shadow query.
Professional 3D editing
Powerful spatial operations such as merging, clipping, and exporting of features, support precise 3D data refinement. Versatile drawing tools enhance 3D GIS visualizations with roads, traffic lights, powerlines, & more while an advanced particle system simulates weather, lighting, water, smoke, & fire effects.
Develop customized applications
Powerful API to develop powerful, customized 3D desktop, Web, and mobile applications or integrate TerraExplorer capabilities in OEM applications. All the COM-based interfaces can be managed through scripting languages (e.g., JavaScript) as well as non-scripting languages (e.g., C++ or C#).
Web-based 3D geospatial viewer
Explore, analyze, and edit high-resolution, stunningly realistic 3D content right in your web browser — no download required. Designed to meet diverse needs, TerraExplorer Fusion offers customization options and comes in two versions: Viewer and the advanced Plus version.
Create geographically accurate terrain databases
Extensive plugin support for loading data in any format, combined with professional tools for manipulating and merging all your imagery and elevation layers, make it easy to create photo-realistic, geographically accurate terrain databases. Option available for dynamic layer/project updates.
2D and 3D spatial server
Full suite of web services for publishing, storing, managing, and streaming all your 2D and 3D geospatial content: 3D mesh, imagery, elevation, features, and point clouds. Convert and share your data in multiple formats for seamless collaboration with clients like Esri, QGIS, Cesium, and more.
