he SUMMIT EVOLUTION digital photogrammetric workstation is a user-friendly system for performing 3D feature collection directly into AutoCAD, MicroStation, or ArcGIS.

The SUMMIT EVOLUTION system allows for easy management of multiple model images along with their appropriate camera and control files in a project-based environment. Quick and efficient stereoscopic orientation of the models is performed using either interior, relative, and absolute orientation or by employing exterior orientation data.

Feature data collection is achieved with DAT/EM CAPTURE, our industry-leading stereoplotter interface. Further batch file editing can be performed using DAT/EM&qout;s MAP/EDITOR software. The data capture software and MAP/EDITOR are included with SUMMIT EVOLUTION.

SUMMIT EVOLUTION presents frame camera images in three dimensions while compiling directly into AutoCAD, MicroStation, or ArcGIS. Additionally, SUMMIT EVOLUTION&qout;s compatibility extends to our GeoToolbox partner INPHO&qout;s digital terrain modeling product, MATCH-T. Included are seamless functions to interact with aerotriangulation software PATB, Albany, Aerosys, and BINGO.

Further development for interconnectivity with other software packages continues.
