Richmond Hill, Ontario - August 31, 2001: PCI Geomatics has been accepted
to join the Innovation Acceleration Centre (IAC) at CCRS. The IAC provides
a framework for cooperation between government and industry in research and
development and allows CCRS to provide scientific assistance to help
accelerate the development of geomatics/remote sensing products and
services. Under the IAC, PCI Geomatics will be provided support from CCRS
to assist in understanding the CCRS Imaging Spectrometer Data Analysis
System (ISDAS), ensure proper implementation in the PCI Geomatics software
environment, and better understand the application possibilities of the
technology.
The ISDAS system is being integrated within Geomatica as part of three
projects recently awarded by the Canadian Space Agency under the Earth
Observation Applications Development Program (EOADP) for the purpose of
commercializing the ISDAS system. It is hoped that through the Innovation
Acceleration Centre, the commercialization of ISDAS will be enhanced.
"I say this with the clearest of certainty, PCI Geomatics is absolutely
dedicated to maintaining our good history and reputation with respect to
government contracts such as this." states Dr. Robert Moses, President and
CEO of PCI Geomatics. "In the past five years alone, we have competed for,
won, and successfully completed over ten Canadian Government software
development projects. We stand behind our contracts and we stand behind our
products."
The new hyperspectral tools within Geomatica will be applicable for a number
of commercial applications. PCI Geomatics will be able to provide users of
hyperspectral data with a software package that will not only enables them
to analyze and visualize their hyperspectral data, but also to be able to
integrate it with other geospatial data. This will provide valuable
information to applications such as agriculture, exploration and mineral
geology, and forestry.
PCI Geomatics, a world leading developer of geomatics software and
solutions, has shown that the uniquely integrated environment of their new
Geomatica product will be the perfect host for ISDAS technology. "We are
always trying to move our products beyond the typical applications and
standards of the geomatics market." observes Richard Nasmith, Director of
New Business Development for PCI Geomatics. "Through dedicated internal
development and by working with innovative organizations such as CSA and
CCRS, we can bring greater geospatial function to a greater geomatics
future."
PCI Geomatics (www.pcigeomatics.com) is a world leading developer of
geomatics software and solutions based on its remote sensing, digital
photogrammetry, spatial analysis, and cartographic editing programs. PCI
Geomatics has over 11,000 licenses installed in over 100 countries, a result
of its commitment to supply leading edge software, customer support, and
service worldwide. PCI Geomatics has been in the geospatial software
business since 1982 and each software generation has been created with their

SPANS, PAMAP, ACE, and OrthoEngine to develop a completely new functionality
framework for Geomatica, producing a single, tightly integrated product.
Geomatica introduces many new developments while also delivering
improvements to traditional PCI Geomatics software advantages such as
strengthened raster and vector processing capabilities required to meet the
growing demands of the Remote Sensing, GIS, Cartographic, and Photogrammetry
worlds.
