Emergency Response
 The rapid delivery of images – along with maps and thematic information derived from images, such as floodwater zones and areas of vulnerable geology – is crucial to saving lives and property during disasters. Thanks to global, detailed, and timely coverage, satellite sensors can provide an initial assessment of the nature and magnitude of damage and destruction, providing context for post-disaster relief efforts.
PCI Geomatics’ focus on the automated processing and delivery of satellite data ensures up-to-the-minute delivery of relevant images, base maps, and spatial information models. High resolution RS data is especially useful for identifying the critical features of a natural or human disaster, for selecting appropriate staging areas and supply routes, and for planning reconstruction and relocation activities. Looking ahead, emergency planners can establish predictive models and early warning systems by studying past disasters using historical satellite imagery and other geospatial datasets.
Because emergency response is inherently a multi-agency effort, the sharing of data is key to mounting an effective response. As champions of standards-based geospatial software, PCI Geomatics has removed barriers to data interoperability, allowing agencies to exchange and combine data in new and informative ways.
With software and solutions geared to automation, accuracy, and interoperability, PCI Geomatics can help you to build emergency response applications with near-real time access to rich, spatially-accurate satellite image products.

Defense Mapping & Visualization
 With the sheer volume of imagery now available, defense mapping agencies are challenged to extract relevant information – in a timely manner – from an ever-growing number of images. Rapid processing, analysis and delivery of geospatial information are required to support critical decisions. The risks of allowing available image data to remain unexplored are seen in the field, in the form of avoidable dangers and missed opportunities.
PCI Geomatics’ image correction, processing and analysis tools allow the defense and intelligence community to read, interpret, exploit, and share geospatial data in efficient and timely support of their mission objectives.
Images of all resolutions and from many parts of the spectrum can be exploited for accurate base mapping, target identification, change detection, elevation modelling, terrain analysis, and for extracting linear features from imagery. 3D, thermal and microwave visualization support bring users beyond the barriers of night and cloud, while automation and metadata tracking ensure accurate, repeatable and trackable results from any imagery study. All PCI Geomatics technologies include rigorous support for open geospatial standards and defense industry formats, including certified NITF support, JPEG2000 compression and more.
Scalable, automatable and integratable into existing systems, PCI Geomatics defense mapping solutions are ready for – and active in – command, control and intelligence operations worldwide.

AIMM – Automatic Ingest Mosaic Mapping System |
 PCI Geomatics provides geospatial solutions geared to the military and public security community, and now introduces AIMM – the automatic ingest mosaic mapping system.
AIMM is a cost-effective and efficient system for transforming geospatial data and imagery into useful information to facilitate decision-making in critical situations. Operators can easily load raw or corrected images into the database through the web interface. This automated production system can ingest a wide variety of satellite imagery, automatically determine its type, correct it (remove distortions), and then insert it into an Oracle 10g database.
When the need arises, operators can find the imagery pertaining to their area of interest by location, acquisition date, keyword, or sensor type, and send a request for the images, a mosaic, or maps of the area to be delivered in a variety of formats such as PIX, NITF, GeoTIFF, PDF and JPEG. The system then automatically responds by sending the requested imagery by FTP or email to the intended recipient.
