Pictometry announces new 3D product

Orlando, USA, 31 October 2006 – Pictometry International Corp., one of the leading companies in digital, aerial oblique imagery, announced at its FutureView 2006 User Conference, a suite of 3D products for its customers: Pictometry Real3D Medalist, Pictometry Real3D Bronze Medalist, Pictometry Real3D Silver Medalist and Pictometry Real3D Gold Medalist.

The Pictometry 3D Suite of products provides Pictometry customers with the option to create 3D models using Pictometry images themselves or have it professionally created by Pictometry and its partners. Each Pictometry Real3D product option utilizes data from Pictometry's all digital oblique imagery to create 3D experience.

- Pictometry Real3D Medalist
Is a self-contained modular program that allows Pictometry users to create wire frames of select buildings. It can then automatically drape facades (sides of buildings) on the wire frames at a rate of approximately 30 buildings per minute. This Pictometry 3D product will soon be available to all qualified Pictometry customers.

- Pictometry Real3D Bronze Medalist
Is Pictometry's entry-level professionally rendered 3D process that delivers buildings as untextured 3D objects. It is recommended for situations where the 3D view is more critical than the realistic rendering of buildings, such as line of sight analysis.

- Pictometry Real3D Silver Medalist
Is the mid-level 3D product that adds building textures based on Pictometry's Intelligent Images. Each side of a building is individually textured from the corresponding oblique image. The Silver Medalist allows counties to have large areas of photo-realistic models at an attractive price point.

- Pictometry Real3D Gold Medalist
Is Pictometry's premier 3D product. Announced earlier this year with Harris Corporation at the 2006 ESRI User Conference, this product offers the highest level in the industry for details of building sides and roof line contours, true colors, intricate details of structures, and rich building textures that are extremely realistic. Pictometry Real3D Gold Medalist incorporates a true ortho, a digital terrain model, and incredible levels of accuracy and detail in the 3D structures. This product contains a unique line of site tool and measuring capabilities that are well suited for law enforcement professionals requiring more detailed visual analysis of locations when responding to potential situations.

All Real3D models include a standard viewer that allows for visualization, fly-throughs, and measurement capabilities. Most models can be configured to be viewed in other 3D viewing systems such as ESRI's ArcGIS 3D Analyst.
