5. Generate geospatial data from Long, complex and expensive process
Mission Statement
Generate geospatial data from
aerial imagery
YOUR OBJECTIVE
Long, complex and expensive process
YOUR REALITY
Correlator3D™
THE SOLUTION
SimActive’s mission is to constantly develop and market cutting-edge technologies that simplify and enhance geospatial data production 5

6. Growing Challenges Expensive Not User-Friendly
Only 30% project costs for data acquisition, remaining 70% associated with production
Not User-Friendly
Complex software tools
Geospatial Data Production
Skills and Knowledge
Highly-trained personnel required
Long Process
