PCI Geomatics, a world-leading developer of geoimaging software and systems, announced today that it is now offering online courses for its desktop image processing software, Geomatica.
PCI has a large base of Geomatica customers throughout the world, and offers a number of resources to help new and experienced users get the most out of their software investment. Based on market research and customer feedback, instructor-led training continues to offer the highest value in terms of operational knowledge obtained versus instruction time/approach. Over the past few years, PCI has observed a shift towards offering training online, due to the convenience it offers in terms of travel and the reduced time commitment (because there is no travel required to participate).
As such, PCI is initially offering a one day “Introduction to Geomatica” online course on March 29th, 2012, and plans to offer its full curriculum on a rotating basis going forward. The focus of the initial course, which is broken down into five modules, will offer participants the opportunity to master the basics needed to visualize and process raster and vector data sets. Participants will log into a live session, where they will have access to an instructor that will be leading them through the material. Participants will have the latest version of PCI’s Geomatica 2012 software installed, and will be given access to a training manual and data (imagery) to complete the exercises and follow along with the instructor.
“PCI has received a number of requests for training in the recent past, but customers are increasingly reluctant to commit the time needed to travel to a specific training location to attend training,” said Brad Schmidt, VP – Sales and Marketing at PCI Geomatics. “By offering our courses online, customers can have multiple people attend from different locations and join the training course from the convenience of their offices.”
PCI’s online training course offers great value to participants, with the added benefit of being very convenient. To find out more about the initial March 29th course offering, see http://www.pcigeomatics.com/training.

PCI Geomatics Releases GXL Aerial v2.1
PCI Geomatics, a world leading developer of geo-imaging software and systems, today announces the release of its GeoImaging Accelerator Aerial (GXL-Aerial) version 2.1; the latest version of the company’s high-speed, high-volume multi CPU/GPU distributed processing software for aerial workflows.
Following feedback from its user base, PCI has made numerous improvements to the GXL including increases in accuracy and speed, advanced automation, and an enhanced user experience. GXL Aerial v2.1 also adds support for the DMC camera format providing wider usability and flexibility.
“Version 2.1 of the GXL represents a significant step forward for the processing of high volumes of imagery,” said David Piekny, Product manager at PCI Geomatics. “The focus of this update is in creating more accurate, better quality output that requires less editing, as well as some useful new jobs for increased automation.”
GXL Aerial v2.1 allows users to orthorectify and mosaic thousands of aerial images per day through the power of distributed processing that leverages multi-core CPUs and GPUs. This technology results in significantly increased throughput, lower production costs, and reduced reliance on outsourcing.
GXL Aerial was developed by PCI Geomatics and introduced to the marketplace in October 2010, providing support for Microsoft UltraCam’s digital frame camera series. Since that time, PCI has been adding new features and new sensor compatibility to GXL aerial; allowing even more users to take advantage of the technology.
GXL-Aerial technology combines high-performance computing with PCI Geomatics expertise to provide significant improvements in automation, speed and efficiency. By optimizing and distributing automated workflows, traditional image-processing is elevated to industrial-strength production.

PCI Geomatics and University of New Brunswick receive Innovation Award
PCI Geomatics, a world-leading developer of geoimaging software and systems, announced today that it was the co-recipient of a prestigious Synergy Award for Innovation for 2011, along with the University of New Brunswick (UNB).
The Synergy Awards for Innovation were launched in 1995 by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to recognize partnerships in natural sciences and engineering research and development between universities and Canadian industry. Since their inception, the Awards have honored the most outstanding achievements of university-industry collaboration in the natural sciences and engineering.
On February 27th, 2012, Mr. David Stanley from PCI Geomatics, along with his UNB counterpart Dr. Zhang, attended an event to honor the award recipients. The event was held at Rideau Hall in Ottawa, the Governor General of Canada’s official residence. Mr. Stanley and Dr. Zhang were presented with the award by His Excellency the Right Honorable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada.
PCI Geomatics and the UNB were selected to receive this award under Category I, Small and Medium Sized Companies, for their innovative work on new pansharpening algorithms developed for high-resolution optical satellite imagery. These new algorithms - developed by Dr. Zhang and implemented into PCI’s commercial Geomatica software - allow for the fusion of high-resolution panchromatic imagery with lower-resolution color imagery to create sharp, high-resolution pansharpened images that contain color.
