15 June 2023
In response to valuable user feedback and the evolving needs of data handling due to the new water handling strategy, we enhanced the Ortho module performance in UltraMap v6.0. With a focus on improving speed, efficiency, and data interaction, this feature brings a host of advancements. Let's delve into the exciting features that await you.
In response to valuable user feedback and the evolving needs of data handling due to the new water handling strategy, we enhanced the Ortho module performance in UltraMap v6.0. With a focus on improving speed, efficiency, and data interaction, this feature brings a host of advancements. Let's delve into the exciting features that await you.
The Ortho module allows for the generation of high-quality ortho mosaics, such as DSMOrtho and DTMOrtho, by utilizing a wide range of inputs like aerial imagery, AT results, radiometry settings, and elevation data. The module is seamlessly integrated into UltraMap Studio, empowering customers to cover the entire workflow from image post-processing to ortho product generation within a single project file. This holistic approach ensures a streamlined and efficient experience.

Faster loading and seamless visualization
One of the key areas of improvement in the Ortho module in UltraMap v6.0 is the handling of files, resulting in significantly faster loading times and accelerated viewing speeds in the Ortho Viewer. With this upgrade, you can now experience an unparalleled level of efficiency as your data seamlessly comes to life before your eyes. Gone are the days of waiting for data loading processes; instead, you can instantly access and visualize any region of your project at any desired zoom level.
Plus: The performance enhancements are not limited to the Ortho Viewer; the Heightfield Editor also benefits from faster loading and viewing speed. Effortlessly load and interact with the DSM and DTM at full resolution. Zooming in to scrutinize details, activating or deactivating layers, and modifying the data with an array of tools becomes a swift and seamless process.

Efficiency amplified: smaller files, faster ortho export
Experience a reduction in project file sizes that are now 2 orders of magnitude smaller for larger projects. This enables faster processing through more efficient handling of memory consumption on your PCs. Furthermore, exporting ortho data of even larger mapsheets is way faster. The new version removes previous limitations on the size of mapsheets, leveraging available memory resources more efficiently and ensuring a smoother export process.
Pre: Maximum size of tiles for export was limited
Post: Full flexibility for any dimensions of mapsheet size for data export
