Western Australia’s Department for Planning & Infrastructure Implementing ERDAS Photogrammetry Solutions

Department for Planning & Infrastructure (DPI), a government agency in Western Australia has selected several ERDAS photogrammetry solutions for analyzing coastline movements, engineering, maritime facility mapping and nautical charting.

DPI builds networks to enrich the quality of life for all Western Australians, connecting and delivering economic and social networks. DPI integrates land and transport systems, provides an accessible and safe transport system to serviced land and infrastructure and ensures road users meet established vehicle standards and driver competencies. DPI is implementing LPS, ERDAS’ signature photogrammetry solution that seamlessly integrates software tools to streamline production-mapping workflows. LPS will be used to capture coastline movement information from current aerial photography. Coastal engineers can use LPS to study areas of the coastline in 3D and make better informed decisions about potential coastline movement and infrastructure impacts.  

IMAGINE Autosync enables DPI to rectify old imagery to accurate present day aerial mosaics. Because older photography does not have aero triangulation, this module removes the need for performing aero triangulation calculations. DPI also purchased Leica Geosystems’ TopoMouse™ Hand-held Controller, a high-performance, ergonomic free-hand device for digital photogrammetric workstations and Planar’s SD2420W 24" Widescreen Stereo/3D Monitor, which will enhance their stereo viewing experience.
