CATALYST · REMOTE SENSING AND PHOTOGRAMMETRY

Professional

From imagery to information.
From analysis to production.

CATALYST Professional is desktop remote sensing and photogrammetry software for processing satellite, aerial, UAV and SAR imagery. It combines orthophoto and surface model production with classification, change analysis and automation tools.

Multiple data types
Optical + SAR
Photogrammetric production
Orthophoto
Deformation analysis
InSAR
Workflow automation
Python

Available functions, sensor support and modules vary by licence package and software version. Result quality depends on data quality, control points and processing settings.

TECHNOLOGY AND PERFORMANCE

Details make a difference.

CATALYST Professional · Process UAV and aerial imagery

Process UAV and aerial imagery

Bring UAV imagery into a photogrammetric workflow using EXIF information and feature-based matching. Support orthophoto, mosaic and digital model production.

CATALYST Professional · SAR and InSAR analysis

SAR and InSAR analysis

Analyse deformation and topography with DInSAR, SBAS and PSI approaches. Evaluate radar imagery alongside optical datasets.

CATALYST Professional · Object-based classification

Object-based classification

Use Object Analyst for segmentation, training-data preparation, classification and feature extraction. Bring datasets from different dates into a shared analysis workflow.

CATALYST Professional · Advanced aerial triangulation

Advanced aerial triangulation

Collect tie points with feature-based matching (FBM); examine ground control points and block geometry to address potential gross errors.

CATALYST Professional · Live orthophoto and DEM editing

Live orthophoto and DEM editing

View the effect of digital elevation model edits on the orthophoto through a full-resolution preview. Use greyscale, false-colour and shaded-relief views.

CATALYST Professional · Change and spectral analysis

Change and spectral analysis

Identify changed areas between images from different dates. Evaluate vegetation and land characteristics with NDVI, hyperspectral analysis and spectral tools.
