RapidEye, the only geospatial solutions provider to own and operate their own constellation of Earth observation satellites, announced today that a new software update from PCI Geomatics supports the RapidEye sensors.
PCI's remote sensing and image processing software Geomatica 10.2.1 is the latest version of the image-centric desktop software, providing users with RapidEye satellite sensor support. The newest update of the Geomatica software is now available.

“PCI Geomatics has proven that Ground Control Points (GCPs) are not required to correct RapidEye data and achieve accuracy within 1 pixel using the Geomatica software,” said Dr. Philip Cheng, Senior Scientist at PCI Geomatics.  “This allows the user to generate high accuracy ortho/mosaic images anywhere in the world - instantly.”

“We are pleased that PCI has come through as the first geo-imaging software provider to specifically support RapidEye's level 1B data product,” commented Frederik Jung-Rothenhaeusler, RapidEye's Head of Product Development. “We are also impressed that the PCI software can provide such precise locational accuracy with their software, which is of obvious importance to our customers.”
