Pittsburgh, PA - RoadMAP from TerraSim® extracts road networks from aerial and satellite imagery with a high degree of automation in formats ready for use in applications such as site visualization, modeling and simulation, and high-accuracy GIS database population. Demonstrations of RoadMAP 1.0 will be available at TerraSim's Booth (#126) at the ASPRS trade show.
This new Source Data Preparation (SDP) productivity tool from TerraSim supports semi-autonomous extraction of transportation networks - including paved and unpaved roads, railroads, and canals - from remotely sensed imagery. RoadMAP produces a complete network vector topology, removing the need for time consuming post-processing. It supports on-the-fly feature attribution, tailored to customer requirements, and comes with default attribution definition tables for NGA FACC and USGS data models.
RoadMAP 1.0 exports road centerline (linear), road surface (areal), and road intersection points into ESRI ArcGIS and TerraTools® for the type of direct data ingest that demanding modeling and simulation applications require. RoadMAP from TerraSim runs on Windows 2000 or XP workstations using low cost OpenGL graphics cards. No special hardware or additional software is required.
