Octave ImageStation
Formerly ImageStation, this photogrammetry solution turns large volumes of aerial, UAV and satellite imagery into accurate maps, elevation models and orthophotos.
End‑to‑end photogrammetry for production workflows
Built for large‑scale photogrammetry mapping
ImageStation helps organizations turn large volumes of aerial, UAV and satellite imagery into reliable mapping products. Designed for production environments, it automates core photogrammetry steps, supports mixed sensors and large projects and helps teams maintain accuracy and consistency across complex workflows – from project setup and triangulation to terrain models, feature capture and orthophoto production.
Core capabilities for production photogrammetry
ImageStation provides a complete set of tools for production photogrammetry mapping, covering every step from raw imagery to finished mapping products. Its modular design supports large projects, mixed sensors and automated workflows, helping teams manage complexity, maintain accuracy and deliver consistent results across demanding production environments.
Automated project setup and triangulation
ImageStation supports aerial, UAV, ADS, and satellite imagery, applying early quality checks to ensure strong geometry and using automated triangulation to quickly set up and orient large photogrammetry projects.
Stereo feature collection in CAD and GIS
ImageStation enables users to capture and edit 2D and 3D features directly from stereo imagery in MicroStation or Octave GeoMedia, with precise 3D cursor tracking and smooth stereo navigation for confident, consistent mapping.
Automated terrain and surface model generation
ImageStation generates digital terrain models and digital surface models from stereo imagery using feature‑based matching or dense matching techniques, supporting large areas and varied terrain while integrating with interactive editing workflows.
Interactive terrain editing and quality control
ImageStation supports interactive correction, quality checks and batch utilities so teams can assess accuracy and prepare terrain data for orthophoto production or downstream analysis by reviewing, editing and validating elevation data using DTM tools.
High‑volume orthophoto production
ImageStation delivers consistent orthophotos at scale, with flexibility for review and refinement. Automated workflows generate orthorectified images and mosaics, handling seamlines, tone balancing, and radiometric enhancement.
Scalable processing for large datasets
ImageStation scales across available computing resources, helping production teams manage national, regional or enterprise‑level photogrammetry workloads via multithreaded and distributed processing.
