SPARView – November 2011 – New Feature Extraction Tools for LiDAR
Just as its parent company was finalizing a split into three publicly traded firms, ITT Visual Information Systems, now Exelis Visual Information Solutions, released last month its first foray into lidar processing software that delivers automated feature extraction, E3De. Building on TLiD technology the company acquired, along with its own ENVI geospatial image analysis software and IDL programming language, this new product is aimed at letting users quickly pull out features like power lines and buildings from lidar data.
