Product News and Updates
Exelis VIS will be releasing service packs for its main image processing product ENVI, as well as ENVI LiDAR, its new product for extracting 3D features from LiDAR data. Besides that, the company is testing and releasing its first to market cloud offering, ENVI Services Engine.
Exelis VIS has been working hard on a number of new products. Incremental releases, but also major releases and a product rebrand. They are discussed below by Beau Legeer, VP of Product Marketing at Exelis Visual Information Solution (VIS). Of interest are a new cloud-based solution, LiDAR analysis software and mobile clients.
ENVI Services Engine
The ENVI platform now comprises an entire suite of geospatial tools that are based on analytics and driving information out of geospatial data using advanced techniques. That platform manages traditional data like that which ENVI has always taken care of, such as spectral, hyper-spectral and multispectral spatial data, but also emerging modalities, such as LiDAR, SAR, and in the future, plans for full motion video. At the moment, Exelis VIS is really focusing on deploying their first release of its cloud-based platform, the ENVI Services Engine early this year. Legeer: "the concept of the platform now is being able to provide analytics in a desktop application such as ENVI's LiDAR and SAR solution, but also take all these analytics and move them to an enterprise. This could be a cloud put up by a personal enterprise, a government agency, or by a research or academic institution."
Currently, test versions are being fielded and tested...
