Orthophoto and digital surface model examples of the same area.
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.
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.
SAR and InSAR analysis
Analyse deformation and topography with DInSAR, SBAS and PSI approaches. Evaluate radar imagery alongside optical datasets.
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.
Advanced aerial triangulation
Collect tie points with feature-based matching (FBM); examine ground control points and block geometry to address potential gross errors.
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.
Change and spectral analysis
Identify changed areas between images from different dates. Evaluate vegetation and land characteristics with NDVI, hyperspectral analysis and spectral tools.
