The Fugro Toolbar supports the digitizing and query of features directly from GeoSAR data, and it provides ready access to important tools, including on-the-fly synthetic stereo display, automatic 2D feature draping, a terrain tracking stereo cursor, and a data difference display. Ongoing development will continue to increase the functionality and add features specific to other Fugro collection systems. Currently, the Fugro Toolbar is available only with concurrent production of GeoSAR radar data.
1.3.2 GeoSAR Dual-band Stereoscope Image Display
GeoSAR’s X-band reflects off the first surfaces of vegetation, buildings, and bare earth, delivering images that are rich in surface detail. GeoSAR’s P-band penetrates dense foliage, showing details hidden beneath the vegetation. PurVIEW enables feature extraction simultaneously using data from both radar bands, and users can easily switch between coregistered stereo pairs.
