SimActive Inc., a global developer of photogrammetry software, announced that its Correlator3D platform is being used by Settimio Consulting Services to support the engineering design of a major highway ramp expansion. The project leverages the integration of photogrammetry and lidar data to produce precise ground measurements essential for accurate infrastructure planning.
Settimio Consulting, a woman-owned, DBE-certified firm specializing in lidar, GIS, and photogrammetry, uses SimActive’s Correlator3D to process data collected with a Leica TerrainMapper-2 sensor. The combined use of lidar and photogrammetric imagery allows for detailed terrain modeling and improved decision-making in transportation design.
“One of my favorite abilities of Correlator3D is to create the reference ortho from lidar,” said Kyler Whittenberger, Photogrammetry Manager at Settimio Consulting Services. “Including those points in the aerial triangulation and tying that surface into the solution makes everything more robust.”
Correlator3D, SimActive’s flagship software, provides a fully integrated workflow for producing high-quality geospatial data from drone, aerial, and satellite imagery. The platform performs aerial triangulation and generates dense digital surface and terrain models, point clouds, orthomosaics, and 3D models. Its GPU-accelerated processing and multi-core optimization enable users to handle large datasets quickly and efficiently.
SimActive’s software has become a trusted solution for mapping firms, surveyors, and government agencies worldwide. By offering seamless integration with lidar data and strong automation capabilities, Correlator3D helps users achieve accurate, scalable results across a wide range of applications—from infrastructure and urban development to environmental monitoring and defense mapping.
