The Department of Agriculture Acquires SimActive Software for Watershed Analysis

SimActive's software will be primarily used for watershed analysis from imagery.

"Correlator3DT is providing the Department of Agriculture an inexpensive solution for generating terrain profiles" said Dr Philippe Simard, President and Co-Founder of SimActive. "Our customer will take advantage of its existing database of aerial images, providing a much larger return on investment.  The ability to quickly and easily generate digital surface models (DSM) will allow the Department of Agriculture to significantly reduce costs of watershed analysis compared to traditional survey methods or LiDAR data."

Designed for speed and ease of use, Correlator3DT consists of fully automated software tools for the production of digital surface models (DSM) and digital terrain models (DTM), the creation of orthophotos and mosaics, and the detection of 3D changes.  Correlator3DT is significantly simpler and faster than currently available tools.  Highly trained personnel are no longer mandatory.
