1 ERDAS PRO600 A state-of-the-art package for 3D feature collection and editing

2 MicroStation design file graphics are displayed by PRO600 in full 3D stereo. PRO600 PRO600 is a highly sophisticated, function-rich and robust package for accurate three-dimensional stereo photogrammetric feature and digital terrain model (DTM) collection and editing. Developed by Authorized Bentley Partner ERDAS, PRO600 provides a wealth of cartographic tools to maximize feature collection and editing efficiency in photogrammetric production. PRO600 operates entirely within the Bentley MicroStation V8 environment. Key features include: High performance photogrammetric stereo viewing engine Sophisticated data collection and editing tools Easy-to-edit feature definition library Collection, editing and display of digital terrain models Flexible and easy-to-learn user interface Annotation and manuscript preparation tools Support for the TopoMouse and other 3D input devices Close integration with LPS Also available for analog and analytical photogrammetric systems PRO600 has become the system of choice for MicroStation users. Feature collection and editing is central to photogrammetric production. For photogrammetry professionals, delivering geographic data to clients in a cost-effective, timely and consistent fashion is a top priority. Having the right software for feature collection and editing is vital to success. CAD-based systems have proven tremendously popular and play a leading role in modern photogrammetric production. The CAD system preferred by many users in the photogrammetric community is Bentley MicroStation. PRO600 is the market leader in the effective integration with MicroStation.

3 Graphical Importer PRO600 offers powerful quality assurance tools to allow for checks on data integrity. Benefits and Features PRO600 integrates seamlessly into the MicroStation environment, making it an efficient and easy-to-learn system for both the novice and experienced MicroStation user alike. This state-of-the-art system also features a host of other benefits, including: High Productivity o Symbology settings stored in feature definition library o Choice of input accelerator devices for one-touch command activation o Fast switching between data collection modes o Sophisticated tools for building squaring and parallel line generation o Automatic snapping and feature intersection o Maintenance of topological relationships during data editing o Fast quality assurance tools for visual checks of data integrity Integration with LPS o Real-time stereo image viewer with full-color graphics overlay o Support for various image types, including standard aerial frame cameras and the Leica ADS40 Airborne Digital Sensor o Refinement of digital terrain models extracted automatically in LPS o User-definable buttons with the TopoMouse Geographic Information Systems Interoperability o Provides stereo editing environment for MicroStation o Oracle Spatial and ESRI Geodatabase access using Bentley ProjectWise o Data exchange with standard GIS formats using Bentley and other third-party translators Compatibility with Other MicroStation Solutions o Choice of domain-specific add-ons from Bentley and other third parties o TerraSolid TerraModeler for advanced terrain modeling and analysis o Bentley GEOPAK and InRoads suites for civil engineering applications

4 PRO600: 3D Feature Extraction in a CAD Environment Full Compatibility Across Photogrammetric Systems o Versions for analog and analytical stereoplotters o Also available for BAE Systems SOCET SET o Minimal re-training for upgrading technology Customization Across Skill Levels o User-definable menus, icons and function keys o Create macros using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) o Advanced applications using MDL and C/C++ o Libraries provided for access to PRO600 functionality Available Modules PRO600 consists of several add-on modules to MicroStation. All modules may be used together as a fully integrated package, or in various combinations to create targeted solutions for specific tasks. PROCART PROCART provides core cartographic functions for feature collection and editing. Its feature definition library combines with a variety of sophisticated tools to maximize productivity. These tools may be used in a 3D stereo photogrammetric environment or for offline 2D editing. Cartographic presentation tools include line patterning, polygon hatching, contour annotation and manuscript grid placement.

5 PRO600 provides tools that aid the extraction of 3D building models from imagery. PROLPS PROLPS provides the link between MicroStation and the LPS Stereo module. MicroStation design file graphics are visualized in full 3D using the LPS stereo viewer. Coordinate measurements in X, Y and Z provide input to the active editing tool in MicroStation. PROLPS can be used to provide a stereo editing environment for any MicroStation add-on. PRODTM PRODTM provides a variety of tools that can be combined to create productive workflows for terrain modeling applications. Terrain models can be generated by direct measurement. Existing models may be edited and refined using the vector features in the MicroStation design file. PRODTM operates on all terrain file formats supported by LPS, and also serves as an interface to TerraModeler for advanced terrain analysis operations. TerraModeler This is a third party MicroStation add-on package from TerraSolid Ltd, offering more sophisticated digital terrain model display and analysis for engineering and other applications. LPS LPS is a versatile software product for digital photogrammetric workstations, providing accurate, productionoriented photogrammetric tools for a broad range of geospatial imaging applications. It allows users to work with imagery from a wide variety of sources and formats including black and white, color or multispectral, with up to 16 bits per band. LPS also generates the whole range of deliverables photogrammetrists demand, from raw imagery to line-of-sight analyses. Copyright 2008 ERDAS Inc.
