3D Stereo visualization with 3D PluraView improves Hexagon ImageStation® photogrammetry workflow

Leading photogrammetry software certified for the 3D PluraView stereoscopic monitor

With the flexible and mature photogrammetry environment ImageStation® from the Swedish metrology and geospatial software company HEXAGON, particularly large amounts of aerial images, UAS and satellite data can be efficiently processed, managed and utilized for geodata acquisition. A core task, which is solved most efficiently with the ImageStation® photogrammetry environment, is the precise, interactive capture of 3D objects, the entire infrastructure, such as buildings, roads and bridges, but also natural terrain features.

In Germany, the topographical surveying and updating / tracking of the entire infrastructure is the responsibility of the surveying offices in each of the 16 German states or ‘Laender’. The ImageStation® was specially developed for professional photogrammetry and cartography users and provides a comprehensive set of data acquisition tools. In order to be able to move intuitively and measure precisely in this stereoscopic, three-dimensional reality, an important interface element was integrated into this high-tech software right from the beginning: the 3D stereo mouse cursor. The stereoscopic mouse cursor implementation is a prerequisite for working with precise 3D data controllers and enables perfect interaction with the plug & play compatible and powerful 3D PluraView monitor systems from Schneider Digital. The passive 3D monitors from Schneider Digital with beam-splitter technology impress by pixel-precise visualization of up to 4K (UHD) per stereo channel, fast image frame rate, high color depth, high brightness and contrast values.

With its certification, Schneider Digital confirms that the powerful ImageStation® software suite is fully compatible with this professional hardware and thus meets all the requirements of international workplace standards: Two compatible cutting-edge technologies that merge into a complete solution and an ideal combination for professional photogrammetry users.
