Introduction

• Growth in Drone market has made aerial imagery easier and cheaper to acquire than

ever before.

• Information from imagery is used to develop new applications, update GIS maps,

and to make better business decisions

Why Drones

• Convenience: Just plan, fly, download your images, and process your raster

data the same day.

• Resolution: significantly higher than current satellite and manned aircraft

can attain.

• Cloud-free data: Due to the altitudes at which drones fly, cloud cover is not

an issue

• Cost: Drones can capture customized high resolution imagery for a fraction

of the price

ENVI OneButtonWhat is it?

• ENVI OneButton software is easy-to-use image

processing product.

• Utilizes the most advanced photogrammetric

and computer vision algorithms

• OneButton lets you easily and automatically

create fully georeferenced products in 2D and

3D

• Extremely easy to use, saving both time and money

• Go from collected images to seamless

orthorectified, geospatially accurate products

(DEMs, orthomosaics, 3D point clouds) within

minutes

• Fully automated image-stitching, feathering, light

and color balancing for exceptional results

• Supports entry (or import) of ground control

points (GCPs) for high geolocation accuracy

projects such as engineering and construction

• Supports small, medium and large format sensors

for efficient coverage of large areas

ENVI OneButton

o Supports images from any cameras

o Supports fused NIR, Thermal and RGB imagery, multipage TIFF Output,

multiband images

o Users have access to ENVI’s preprocessing tools to prepare the images for

OneButton processing

o Users can import the results directly into ENVI or ENVI Services Engine

o LiDAR point clouds can be viewed in ENVI’s 3D point cloud viewer for full

3D visualization

o Export results directly to ENVI for further processing

o Users can also explore customizable solutions and extensions using the

flexibility of ENVI + IDL, or integrate with ArcGIS ModelBuilder
