Learn how to take scanned historical air photos out of the back room and create high quality ortho mosaics

This course offered by PCI Geomatics, using Geomatica Desktop Image Processing Software and the Historical Airphoto Processing (HAP) Module

Overview Does your organization have hundreds, thousands, or even more old, historical air photos sitting on the shelf, not being used? This course will provide you with an operational workflow to take your scanned air photos into modern day tools, allowing you to create great looking ortho mosaics and elevation models.

Who is the intended audience? If you are interested in rescuing old air photos that could be used for planning, change detection and a myriad of other applications, this course is perfect for you! Within a short amount of time you will be able to produce ortho mosaics. We provide you with everything you need - sample imagery (courtesy of the City of Saint John, New Brunswick in Canada), trial software (Geomatica includes a HAP trial license) and all of the reference information you need.

What Materials will be used? Students will be able to work with a licensed version of Geomatica as well as sample data sets to follow along with the instructor. Students are expected to install Geomatica on their computer and work with a copy of the data which is provided.

How long will it take me to complete the course? The course materials (videos) run for just over 1 hour. You will likely play the videos several times and review certain steps. The expected time to complete the course is 4-6 hours.
