SOCET GXP® and FME, Creating an integrated system for geospatial analysis and data conversion Marc Flores Senior Software Engineer, BAE Systems Shannon Holland Visualization Team Lead, BAE Systems 1

Outline § Introduction § BAE Systems § Geospatial e. Xploitation Products™ (GXP®) § § SOCET GXP® Why FME? Integration details Examples 2

BAE Systems is the premier global defense, security, and aerospace company, delivering a full range of products and services for air, land, and naval forces, as well as advanced electronics, security, information technology solutions, and customer support services. § § § Major operations across five continents Customers and partners in more than 100 countries 100, 000 employees worldwide Second-largest global defense company based on 2009 revenues (source: Defense News Annual Ranking, published June 2010) Consistently ranked in U. S. Defense Department’s list of top ten contractors 2010 sales of $34. 6 billion 3

GXP provides licensed software capabilities and geospatial technology R&D; commercial group within a defense contractor § Commercial-off-the-shelf software § 25 years in commercial mapping and image exploitation § Available to systems integrators and end users § 200 employees worldwide § Headquartered in San Diego, California, U. S. A. § Regional offices § U. S. : Reston, San Diego, Tampa, Denver, St. Louis, Plano, Rome § Cambridge, U. K. § Canberra, Australia www. baesystems. com/gxp 4

SOCET GXP: e. Xtreme analysis® Performance • • One product for Windows and UNIX Fast pan, zoom, and rotate Fast image enhancement Native data imports O&M • Single set of GUIs to learn • Single API to integrate • Supports both UNIX and Windows Capabilities • • Ground space Robust product creation Accurate targeting (with CE/LE) Rigorous registration and triangulation Automated orthomosaic production Digital elevation model creation 2 -D and 3 -D feature extraction 5

SOCET GXP: Automatic and semi-automatic 3 D modeling Automatic 3 -D modeling § From imagery (photogrammetry) or LIDAR § Automatically texture models from source imagery Semi-automatic 3 -D modeling § § 30+ modeling tools Automatically texture models from source imagery 6

SOCET GXP: Terrain generation, editing and analysis Automatic Terrain Generation § From imagery § Bare-earth § Surface model Analysis tools § Terrain shaded relief § Difference algorithms § 2 -D and 3 -D Line of Sight § and much more… Editing tools § Post & area editing § Bare-earth algorithms § Geomorphic editing § Much more… 7

SOCET GXP: Product creation Use the Finishing Tool or Multiport templates to create a variety of products to satisfy any operational need, from multiple data sources 8

Why FME? § Trade study completed in January, 2010 § GXP legacy products exported to DGN, DXF and Open. Flight® § Difficult to maintain and keep up with new versions § GXP engineers not familiar with formats § FME was already in use by several customers § FME supports more formats (255+) than competing translation packages § 3 -D PDF § Open. Flight § DGN § DXF § City. GML § 3 DS 9

SOCET GXP and FME user interface § Export from 3 -D Multiport™ § Exports all data loaded into scene § Export from Mono/Stereo Multiport § Only exports data displayed in Multiport 10

Issues and solutions § Multi-channel vs. Single-channel writer § Text Feature Store (TFS) sample included with FME uses a new writer instance for each feature § Solution: Work with support to implement Feature Type Fanout § Mapping FME feature types § For example, Tri-fans and Tri-strips are Meshes in GXP § Solution: Explode to meshes before processing with FME § FME Writers and terrain § No built-in way to write out FDB terrain § Solution: convert to meshes before processing with FME § FDB Reader/Writer not available to Safe Support § GXP could not provide Support with the plug-in § Solution: convert FDB data to FME Feature Store (FFS) 14
