ANNOUNCING INPHO 7.1 / UASMASTER 7.1 CURRENT EDUCATIONAL OFFERING INFORMATION ON LEGACY PRODUCTS

What is INPHO INPHO is Trimble’s traditional airborne photogrammetry / airborne LiDAR processing software suite. This modular software offering covers the complete workflow from georeferencing to high quality deliverables such as point clouds, DTM/DSM, orthomosaics and mapping products. While UASMaster or TBC APM have a clear focus on UAS acquired data, INPHO is having its focus on large traditional airborne sensors mounted to planes or helicopters or satellite data. Inpho modules are highly automated, providing an outstanding level of accuracy and confidence. Inpho is suited for massive data volumes in processing, refining and editing as well as for visualization of deliverables. Inpho deliverables create the basis for a manifold of vertical applications in different markets such as survey, energy and natural resources, environmental research, cities and buildings, (urban) planning, monitoring, agriculture, cadastre and many more.

What’s new in INPHO 7.1 INPHO 7.1 is a new major release of our traditional photogrammetry suite of software modules. Unlike a main release (e.g. 8.0), this major release does not require a new license to be installed, if a valid license for 7.x is existing. A major release typically contains fixes to ensure processing workflows without interruptions and to grant for high

quality results. Additionally the major release contains new major features like support for new sensors or new tools and functionality.

Note: For users that want to benefit from all the fixes, only, without updating to a new major version, we also offer a patch for Inpho version 7.0.3.

Broadening the Sensor Portfolio: Multi-head Sensors, Oblique Geometry, VisionMap A3

For a variety of reasons, there is an ever growing demand to create imagery with larger footprints/coverage. As sensor sizes are technically limited, more and more multi-head cameras are sold to photogrammetric professionals that conduct photo flights. Additionally more vertical applications like building modelling, powerline mapping etc. benefit from oblique looking cameras e.g. to create textures on facades, to monitor steep walls/terrain or actually to create true 3D models. In some cases there is still one camera used, mounted on a tilted gimbal mount, in other cases, again multi-head cameras (e.g. Microsoft Osprey) are used to capture imagery in nadir as well as four oblique directions simultaneously. For INPHO 7.1 our software engineers created new workflows

enabling optimized project setup and processing for multi-head and oblique sensors. Dedicated importers for specific camera brands have been added. Multi-head cameras are treated more like one unit built from individual cameras than being treated completely like independent cameras. As oblique viewing angles create a rather complex geometry with challenging overlap situations and perspective (and image content) differences, georeferencing, point-cloud matching as well as orthomosaic generation benefit from processing optimizations for this special kind of imagery. We want our users to be able to create deliverables with maximum quality and maximum confidence – in

any situation, no matter how challenging the data might be. For more detailed information check-out the release notes for the specific Inpho modules. In addition to multi-head support and oblique capabilities, INPHO 7.1 now also works with the VisionMap A3 photogrammetric camera. The A3 is a special pushbroom sensor camera that provides for excellent resolution and large footprints. The orientation/georeferencing format for the imagery is proprietary to VisionMap, therefore the entry point into the INPHO workflow is after having georeferences created with VisionMap software (*.slf format). INPHO 7.1 now includes a dedicated importer for VisionMap A3 data which may be used within all INPHO modules for point-cloud matching (MATCH-T DSM), editing/refinement/mapping (DTMaster Stereo/Summit Evolution), and orthomosaic generation (OrthoMaster/OrthoVista). Shareable PDF processing reports including graphical analysis views

For MATCH-AT automatic georeferencing of aerial imagery, a new PDF report is available. Users can now share all quality reports, graphs and statistics with their clients or sub-contractors. The included analysis graphics inform in a clear way about accuracy, reliability and confidence of the georeferencing process. Sophisticated views highlight standard deviations (error ellipses), residual vectors, tie-point distribution and connectivity. All relevant project parameters are displayed as well as all important numerical statistics. The PDF is easy to archive and also is created in a printable format for full color-prints.

Extended mapping, CAD-drafting and building-modelling capability

DTMaster Stereo is the INPHO module for extensive refinement and editing and visualization of massive volumes of point-cloud data as well as for basic mapping (stereo-plotting and mono-plotting). The multi-file / multi-layer CAD drafting functionality is mainly used to digitize 3D vectors for morphology information such as e.g. break-line data. So far users could generate vector maps in DTMaster via mono-plotting (digitizing in xy e.g. on top of shaded reliefs or orthos and deriving the height from point-clouds) or via stereoscopic measurements (stereoscopic 3D visualization of photogrammetric imagery). New for 7.1 is the capability to use the mapping functions also within the 3D-profile view. All selected data is visualized in a rotatable 3D-box combined with height coded and shaded views or combined with contour lines. All vector functions, snaps, horizontal and vertical movements, selection, create and edit tools can now be performed also inside the profile box. Special keyboard assignments and auto-drape to terrain functionality is used to guide the user.

For building-modelling a special add-on to DTMaster Stereo calles Building-Addon is available. The building addon is an easy-to-use tool to create LOD2 building objects. It leverages point-cloud data as well as stereoscopic imagery of existing building-shapes to model standard roof-typed buildings as well as complex roof types. Due to context-driven automated tools, building modelling is very simple and larger groups of building objects can be modeled in a very short timeframe. New to the Building-Addon is the capability to split very complex building structures with multiple patios and many different roof structures into adjacent individual units.

News on UASMaster 7.1 UASMaster 7.1 will be announced in a separate bulletin.

Current educational offering Trimble offers all software modules for airborne photogrammetry and remote sensing as attractive EDU-Packs. These packs are available as perpetual licenses, multi-seat licenses, add-on licenses, version updates as well as maintenance renewals.

A proof (official certificate) is requested to grant for educational use of the software, only.

EDU licenses are made available on ONE network dongle for the whole campus. EDU licenses must not be loaned to students for home-use.

Research licenses may be loaned to a student e.g. for doing his master thesis or other research-related work.

Information on legacy products / changes Throughout the last two years, Trimble discontinued new sales for a couple of software products within the INPHO portfolio. Mostly those products are no longer available for new sales but as maintenance contracts continue, Trimble still offers maintenance renewals and maintenance updates.

Trimble, however, encourages users to check their maintenance status and to check for transition options, as there are:
