BENEFITS & FEATURES

Key Benefits:

  • Assisted and accelerated feature extraction (AFE)
  • Multi-class and single-class feature collection with spatial context
  • Change detection
  • Batch processing
  • Learning models
  • Hierarchical learning for clutter removal
  • Unsupervised classification
  • Auto-attribution of 3D features using shape metrics
  • Image and data fusion
  • Small feature and wall-to-wall extraction capability
  • Image processing tools
  • Vector and raster conversion
  • Advanced vector clean-up for lines, polygons, and intersections
  • Square-up features
  • Convert to line with gap jumping
  • Convert to point
  • Smoothing algorithms for lines and polygons
  • Complete tutorial and technical training

Technical Features:

  • Suite of machine learning algorithms "learn" how to classify the object-specific geographic features specified by the user
  • Hierarchical learning for adaptive feature extraction to identify objects in complex and cluttered scenes iteratively improve classification
  • Ability to use spatial context when extracting features
  • Adaptive user interface hides the complexity of the underlying machine learning system from the average GIS user
  • Clutter removal allows users to clean up their results even beyond hierarchical learning
  • Uses image characteristics, such as color, size, shape, texture, pattern, shadow, and spatial association, for feature classification
  • Learning library for importing and exporting learning models for user-specified geographic feature classes and published data models
  • API for developing third-party solutions
 

"Feature Analyst proved to increase production over hand digitization, while at the same time achieving more accurate and consistent results."

Mike O'Brien, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) STAR Program Manager, ASPRS International Conference 2003
