The Summit Evolution system allows for easy management of multiple model images along with their appropriate camera and control files in a project-based environment. Quick and efficient stereoscopic orientation of the models is performed using either interior, relative, and absolute orientation or by employing exterior orientation data. Summit Evolution presents frame camera images in three dimension while compiling directly into AutoCAD or MicroStation. Further development for interconnectivity with other software packages continues. Summit Evolution provides the user with tools to manage large, bundle-adjusted projects as well as smaller projects consisting of single stereo pairs.
Users can roam on a bundle-adjusted project as well as a single stereo model.
Also, both aerial and close range models are supported. Summit Evolution includes the option to perform either a manual interior or an automatic interior orientation. With auto interior, a fiducial patch must only be measured one time per camera. This means that if all of your projects utilize the same camera, you never have to measure the fiducial patch again. Simply open the project and process with one click in the auto interior dialogue box.
