DEM

DEMs (Digital Elevation Models) can be imported, exported, fabricated and manipulated.

ICS map server is specially optimized for production of DEM, using strong algorithms for extracting the X, Y, Z information from an existing database (contour extraction, stereo restitution...).

Raster imaging

ICS map server manipulates 256 color raster images produced by the color scanner, or imported form other sources when available. The resulting image can be exported for various applications (TIFF, TGA, BMP). The processed images are used as GIS (Geographic Information System) support or for the generation of other cartographic layers.

Restitution of clutter

ICS map server is optimized for the creation of clutter files. It is able to describe the topographical properties of the ground (vegetation, buildings, growth...). The restitution of such files is easily done in vector format.

Orthorectification

ICS map server allows digitalization of map features, directly from aerial photographs. In order to collect accurate measurements from aerial photos, it is necessary to remove geometric distorsions caused by camera tilt, and variations in the unerlying terrain. True Orthorectification uses a high resolution DEM containing an urban scene, to pitch the facades of the buildings vertically, thus creating an orthogonal projection from a radial projection. Without this process, antennas placed at specific coordinates may be on the buildings facade, instead of on the roof.
