IImmaaggiinngg pprroodduuccttss wwiitthh pprroovveenn rreessuullttssZ/I Imaging offers solutions for integrating raster and vector dataacross the spectrum of mapping and geoengineering. OurGeographic Information Systems (GIS) imaging solutions providethe tools to handle image mapping, GIS, civil engineering, andconversion projects that require large images, whether fromsatellite or aircraft platforms, scanned maps, radar, or any othertype of imagery. Our imaging solutions have not only enduredthe demands of a production environment, they have excelled inmeeting those demands and have set the standard for all otherimaging products in the marketplace today.

Our GIS imaging solutions consist of the following products:• I/RAS C™ • Image Viewer™

• Image Analyst™ • I/ParcelVec™

• I/GeoVec™ • GeoVec Office

• TerraShare™ Ortho Manager

Image Analyst performs multi-spectral classifications that allow youto create landcover maps.

IImmaaggee iiss eevveerryytthhiinnggImagery, in one form or another, is beginning to appear in allgeoengineering disciplines. Our solutions allow you to integratedisparate data – native read of industry-standard formats, includ-ing TIFF, GeoTIFF, TIFF World, JFIF (JPEG), MrSID, BIL, USGS DOQ,NITF, BMP, PCX, and others – into your existing workflows.

Whether you are simply placing an image backdrop in yourdesign or doing complex feature extraction, our integrated solu-tions will make your task easier. You will benefit from our specialfeatures, such as rapid display and manipulation of very largeraster data sets, fast dynamic zoom, pan, fit, window area, andhybrid (raster and vector) plotting. Our solutions offer completevector graphics and raster integration, providing a seamless environment with other mapping, civil engineering, and GISapplications.

Z/I Imaging’s imaging products help you create and maintain the highest quality images for your project. Image Viewer, ImageAnalyst, and I/RASC provide standard and specialized features todisplay, manipulate, and enhance all types of image data for yourspecific application.

CClleeaann uupp yyoouurr iimmaaggeeIf your imagery already contains positional information, our solution will recognize and display it accordingly. However,sometimes this information is not present, and the image mustbe placed in the desired geographic space. Our solution allowsyou to register your image to your base vectors or even to anoth-er image for multidate comparisons. Image translations, rotation,skew, and scaling are on-the-fly. Our image solutions lead theway in image transformations. Choose from Helmert, affine,projective, 2nd through 5th order polynomial, or finite elementtransformation methods.

We have the most robust set of tools for contrast enhancementson the market today – including features such as recursive con-trast adjustments and dynamic display of contrast adjustment.Linear functions, equalized functions, simple contrast/brightness functions, gamma correction, density slicing, and more – all

working together to give you total control over the way yourimage map is displayed.

Raster files often require some preliminary cleanup. Our toolsimprove the quality of your image whether it’s from a scannedmap or drawing, aerial photograph, or satellite imagery. I/GeoVecallows you to manipulate a raster item much like a traditionalCAD editor. You can delete data, erase certain sections of data,remove speckles or noise in your raster image, and smoothscanned lines.

When you are working with grayscale or color imagery, I/RAS Cand Image Analyst allow you to apply spatial filters to sharpenyour image, and use edge detectors to find feature edges, suchas edge of pavement boundaries and fence rows. Use thesetools to correct dropped scanlines or to destripe your data,and perform atmospheric corrections on your satellite data.

CChhaannggee yyoouurr iimmaaggeeWe use existing raster data from imagery or scanned maps anddrawings to glean information to update our existing vector maps.

I/GeoVec and I/ParcelVec will give you quality assurances on yourdata and help you streamline data capture, reduce start-up costs,and improve data accuracy with automated line following andtext recognition.

Specialized tools in Image Analyst allow you to pull out fea-tures in your imagery by performing arithmetic operations orvegetation indices, or by transforming your data using our multi-spectral tools. Use the complete set of supervised andunsupervised classification schemes to create landcover maps.Once classification has taken place, use post-processing tools to create the map you want. Finally, run raster-to-vector conver-sion routines to create a vector map ready for GIS analysis or for plotting.

Our solution is unmatched for creating image maps. After cleaning up, enhancing, and placing the imagery in the correctgeographic space, you can use our solutions for hybrid plotting.Work in real-world coordinate systems and create vector mapgrids, complete with tick marks, frames, and text labels. You can plot using MicroStation’s InterPlot® tools or perform localWYSIWYG printing.

from your existing desktop GIS or CAD application. Behind the scenes, TerraShare Ortho Manager handles everything foryou, serving up thousands of orthos seamlessly mosaicked andtransformed to your current map projection. This new productcombines the power of a client/server image management anddistribution system with a high performance imaging engine to serve up thousands of individual georeferenced images as a single seamless raster backdrop.

TerraShare Ortho Manager offers true map projection and datumtransforms on-the-fly to a sub-grid level of accuracy rather thanan approximate polynomial fit. Resampling on-the-fly providessmooth displays with bilinear resampling, in addition to nearestneighbor option. TerraShare Ortho Manager uses image pyra-mids, locale tile caching, and compressed storage and networktransfer to maximize performance. The unique design allows asingle raster backdrop to span multiple disk drives and servers.

ZZ//II IImmaaggiinngg iimmpprroovveess yyoouurr iimmaaggee!!Z/I Imaging’s imaging products provide solutions for applicationsthat include map updating, image mapping, resource manage-ment, multi-spectral analyses, GIS analyses, and data capture.The software translates common satellite formats into TIFF orIntergraph image formats and works with many industry-stan-dard formats. Our imaging solutions are seamlessly integratedwith CAD and GIS and run on Microsoft Windows NT®, 2000,and XP operating systems.

TerraShare Ortho Manager allows you to view 1000s of orthos as asingle backdrop in popular GIS programs.

Our GIS Imaging Solutions allow you to integrate different

types of imagery – such as satellite, aerial photography,

and scanned maps – to update your database or your

existing data.

“I have always believed that a major benefit of

using the image processing suite of tools is that it is

so well integrated with the Intergraph MGE process-

es. We can operate in both environments at the

same time,thereby enabling the combination of

raster and vector GIS processing in a single environ-

ment. In addition, we have been able to develop

and integrate our own complementary software

within this same environment, to increase our pro-

ductivity and efficiency.”

Ken Stumpf

Director, Resource Management Applications, GRS

"We have scanned existing aerial photography and

warped the images to align with their vector design

files, and the clients were extremely pleased with

the results. GIS clients use satellite images with

I/RAS C for a variety of tasks, such as planning for

military installations and delineating land/water

interfaces for oyster harvesting permitting, and so

forth. I/RAS C has been our swiss army knife for

anything involving imagery for many years."
