Sensor Systems Announces Support for IKONOS Imagery

Sterling, VA, October 12, 1999 - Sensor Systems announced today the release of RemoteView-Pro support for Space Imaging's high resolution IKONOS satellite imagery. First images from IKONOS will be available for viewing today, Tuesday, October 12th at Sensor's offices in Sterling, Virginia.

"These IKONOS images are truly revolutionary, offering an unprecedented combination of resolution, quality and geodetic accuracy," said Steve Huff, Chairman of Sensor Systems. "Our engineers have worked closely with Space Imaging over the past two years to ensure that RemoteView's visualization and analysis tools are tuned for IKONOS. After all, great images demand great tools."

"RemoteView is intuitive and streamlined, boosting user productivity on even massive datasets," said Jeffrey Harris, Space Imaging's president. "We're pleased Sensor has combined image analysis and GIS vector visualization in our CARTERRA Analyst workstation. It will be a valuable tool for our IKONOS imagery customers."

RemoteView from Sensor Systems is the industry's leading application for the exploitation of large-scale digital imagery from sources such as high-resolution remote sensing satellites and aerial systems. RemoteView's user interface is streamlined and efficient providing optimal user workflow and productivity, seamlessly allowing users to roam over gigabyte-sized images using industry standard UNIX and NT workstations.

RemoteView allows rapid interactive processing of wide dynamic range imagery with the industry's highest quality image chain. RemoteView also extracts highly accurate geodetic positions, and fuses imagery with vector or raster maps. The software also allows for continuous panning and zooming of vector layers, alone or with the associated imagery, regardless of file size.

One-meter satellite imagery from the IKONOS satellite, marketed under Space Imaging's CARTERRA(tm) brand name, promises to usher in a new era in the areas of geographic information systems (GIS), mapping, environmental monitoring, agriculture, land use and development, and disaster planning and recovery, among other markets.

Sensor Systems is a leading developer of desktop applications for visualization and analysis of high-resolution satellite imagery. The RemoteView product family provides solutions ranging from simple desktop viewers to sophisticated mapping, cartography and geodesy applications running on UNIX and NT platforms. Current users include government and commercial organizations around the world.
