Image Is Everything For KARI + PCI Geomatics


PCI Geomatics has completed their contract with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) to build an automated production system for the orthorectification, mosaicking and pansharpening of KOMPSAT-2 satellite imagery.

This fully automated system is built on GeomaticaX technology and constructed by the PCI Geomatics Professional Services team. The system automatically generates value-added products including ortho images, mosaic images, and pan-sharpened images derived from standard KOMPSAT-2 panchromatic (1-meter resolution) and multispectral (4-meter resolution) data. Image products include scales of 1:5000, 1:10,000 and 1:25,000 for both pan-sharpened and non-pan-sharpened imagery. Products are clipped based on the Korean national map index and the system can be operated by KARI staff using a simple graphical user interface. Established in 1989, KARI is devoted to its role as the leading aerospace research and development institute in Korea. KOMPSAT-2 was launched on July 28th 2006. KARI is now developing KOMPSAT-3 and KOMPSAT-5 in an effort to expand Korea’s national space development program.
