Z/I Imaging Reaches Agreement With inpho GmbH On Automatic Terrain Collection Software
Z/I Imaging Corporation, an Intergraph Carl Zeiss joint venture, announced today that it has completed an agreement with inpho GmbH of Stuttgart, Germany, to acquire unrestricted rights to their automatic terrain collection package, MATCH T. Under the agreement, both Z/I Imaging and inpho will develop independent future versions of MATCH T. The agreement became effective August 1, 2000.
MATCH T provides leading-edge technology in automatic extraction of digital terrain model (DTM) elevation points from digital aerial stereo images. A high degree of automation is achieved through the use of hierarchical image data structures and image processing methods. MATCH T improves automatic DTM generation by using existing DTM points, and monitors DTM point quality with online visualization tools. The two companies have formulated a comprehensive technical transition plan for MATCH T. Z/I Imaging will immediately introduce significant new features to the product to continue to meet customers' needs. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
