Fireball's Seamless Image Processing (SIP) is a new capability designed to process extremely large datasets. Many of the sensors we build and work with can gather tens of thousands of individual frames per flight.  It is virtually impossible to digest such datasets with classical photogrammetric techniques. SIP allows the work to be efficiently distributed over large clusters of computers, bringing recent advances in High Performance Computing (HPC) to bear on all aspects of image processing, ortho-rectification and image mosaicking.

Orthorectification and Mosaicking
Highly automated processing workflow Utilizes a large computing cluster for fast and scalable processing Supports small-format and large-format CCD sensors Full support for multi-camera systems Finished products available in all major coordinate systems Support for processing imagery from third-party sensors Rectification against existing LIDAR or USGS surface models as well as extracted sufaces
Camera Calibration
Create complete lens distortion models Cameras can be calibrated directly from acquired aerial imagery Intrinsic and Extrinsic calibrations, including boresight alignment relative to inertial/attitude sensor(s)
