Mission Statement
YOUR OBJECTIVE
YOUR REALITY
THE SOLUTION
Generate geospatial data from
aerial imagery
Long, complex and expensive process
Correlator3D™
SimActive’s mission is to constantly develop and market cutting-edge
technologies that simplify and enhance geospatial data production
Growing Challenges
Expensive
Not User-Friendly
• Only 30% project costs for
data acquisition, remaining
70% associated with
production
• Complex software tools

Skills and Knowledge
Long Process
• Highly-trained personnel
required
• Several months usually
required for data delivery
Design Criterion: Keep it Simple!

Benefits in a Nutshell
FASTER...
• Up to 60 times faster than currently available tools
• Data production can be performed in parallel on multiple machines
• Software designed to quickly process thousands of images
EASIER…
• Minimal software and data manipulation requirements
• Highly-trained personnel are no longer required, virtually no parameters to set
• Easy integration into any third-party workflow
BETTER...
• Better geospatial data at the fraction of the cost
• Uses advanced computer vision algorithms
• Produced data are ready-to-use
• Cost-effective alternative to LIDAR data
