Greetings!
Fall is a busy time of year for PCI Geomatics, and we have been abuzz with activity and exciting happenings this season. The cooler temperatures outside aren’t slowing us down – check out what we have been up to lately!
You may have seen us at Intergeo in Munich with our reseller CGI Systems, where we gave live demonstrations of our Geomatica Image Management System (GIMS) – showing large and small enterprises how to add value to their business process with raster and vector information.
PCI Geomatics was awarded a contract with Iunctus Geomatics to produce accurate satellite images covering all of Canada. To read more about this exciting project, click here.
We are also pleased to announce a new technology partnership with UltraSpectral. For more details, click here.
Our webinar sessions have been a hit with viewers! We hope you’ll check back regularly for a current list of upcoming topics and dates.
PCI Geomatics takes pride in keeping you informed of our endeavors and accomplishments, and we look forward to bringing you our news regularly. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions as to how we can improve upon Footsteps and Futures, please email Alysia Vetter.

GeoCapacity Mapping Information System |
 |
 On October 18 PCI Geomatics, along with strategic partner eSpatial, unveiled the GeoCapacity Mapping Information System. The system uses innovative technology along with detailed satellite imagery and topographic information to deliver map products on demand over the internet. It was designed and built by PCI Geomatics, in collaboration with Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) and funded through Industry Canada’s Technology Partnerships Canada program. The system is able to track and process large volumes of satellite images in order to provide up-to-date geospatial map products, and then deliver such products over the internet to users across Canada and the world.
This ribbon cutting ceremony was attended by the Honourable Gary Lunn, Minister of Natural Resources Canada, as well as Micheal Martin, Minister of Enterprise, Trade and Employment for the Republic of Ireland. This special event was part of the Enterprise Ireland Trade Mission to Canada promoting innovative technology exchanges between the two countries.

SAR Polarimetry Workstation |
|
 We recently presented a demonstration of our SAR Polarimetry Workstation (SPW) at the Radarsat2 Symposium at the Canadian Space Agency in Montreal. This is an exciting new stage in remote sensing – our SPW is a comprehensive toolkit designed to develop techniques for applying SAR polarimetry to earth-monitoring and resource management challenges. RADAR remote sensing offers a number of advantages for earth-surface and feature observation. To discover more about RADAR data analysis click here.

Tips and Tricks |
|
Using the TYPESPLIT and TYPEMERGE Modules in PCI Modeler:
 The TYPESPLIT module allows PCI Modeler users to split mixed port data types to individual port data types. This can be useful as it increases the number of modules that can be used in combination with each other.
For example, to batch pansharpen a number of images, you may want to clip your input imagery to a specific area of interest allowing for improved processing time and productivity. The CLIP module produces a 'mixed' output port not accepted by the PANSHARP module. Adding a TYPESPLIT module to model, allows you to convert a 'mixed' port output of the CLIP module to a 'raster' output port required for the PANSHARP module, preventing the need for two separate models to complete the task.
TYPEMERGE reverses this process allowing a user to merge individual port data types into a single mixed port.
