ERDAS Announces Business Partnership with Observera

With a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI), ERDAS APOLLO provides an interactively connected framework to support the management and serving of spatial data, metadata and maps.   Using a photogrammetric sensor model-based approach, Observera developed SMART to automate image registration. SMART operates in near real time, is highly extensible, and supports numerous ingest formats, model-based image projection and orthorectification.   “”We are thrilled to enter into this partnership with ERDAS, integrating two leading geospatial technologies,” said Todd Jamison, Chief Scientist and CEO, Observera. “This new solution features a web-based demonstration capability of registration through the ERDAS APOLLO interface.”   “Observera is known for developing innovative solutions for both military and national security imaging problems, bridging the gap between the government and commercial remote sensing communities,” said Greg Olson, Director of Defense Sales, ERDAS. “Integrating SMART with ERDAS APOLLO creates a unique enterprise solution for precise registration of imagery.”   Observera, Inc. is a high technology, small business that specializes in sophisticated geospatial science, processing and analysis for a range of government and commercial customers.  Located in the Washington D.C. area, Observera has supported the defense, intelligence and commercial communities since 1995 with advanced geospatial information systems and imagery services.
