Intergraph Adds to Line of Digital Aerial CamerasMay 01, 2010 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Intergraph, a provider of photogrammetry and image acquisition, is adding four new large-format digital aerial cameras to its Z/I Imaging acquisition platform to meet the customized needs of aerial imagery providers around the world. The Company said the new cameras - RMK DX, DMC II 140, DMC II 230 and DMC II 250 - are based on the technology of the Intergraph DMC and RMK D. "Throughout the years, Intergraph has continued to demonstrate a high level of dedication to the photogrammetry industry and to the unique requirements of our customers," said Jack Ickes, vice president of photogrammetry at Intergraph. "The release of these cameras marks the launch of Intergraph's new camera platform strategy, through which customized sensors can be easily added to existing camera components to match sensors to specific tasks, providing customers with cost-effective, modular options for a wide variety of needs while protecting previous investments. Common camera frameworks, camera heads and peripheral systems control manufacturing costs and simplify servicing and upgrade procedures, translating into vast cost savings." The new cameras add a single monolithic panchromatic camera head to produce extreme wide-ground coverage for capturing large-scale, high-resolution imagery. Having a single camera head for large ground coverage eliminates potential issues with geometric accuracy and radiometric quality and eliminates the need for image mosaicking in the post-processing stage, the Company noted. The cameras include a total of five camera heads. The additional camera head is powered by a single, ultra large CCD sensor from digital imaging provider DALSA, the Company noted. Intergraph is a global provider of engineering and geospatial software that enables customers to visualize complex data.Intergraph operates through two divisions: Process, Power & Marine (PP&M) and Security, Government & Infrastructure (SG&I).
