About ProLines GeoImaging Server:

The ProLines GeoImaging Server reduces bottlenecks for image pre-processing by encompassing modern computer hardware with programming techniques. The system combines the power and precision of Graphical Processing Units (GPU) with the accuracy and expertise of PCI’s automated workflows (i.e. ProLines). The benefits of ProLines include: the automation of repetitive and time consuming tasks, consistent results, operational efficiency, reduced labor costs and shorter delivery cycles.

PCI Geomatics currently delivers client configured ProLines GeoImaging Servers for orthorectification, pansharpening and mosaic creation, for most satellite and aerial sensors.

This unique system brings specialized geo-imaging processing to an open architecture leveraging high performance hardware components, controlled by an advanced Job Processing System (JPS). The ProLines GeoImaging Server can be configured as a desk-side or rack-mount system, and key components such as data storage and GPU processing can be upgraded to meet client demands.
