The Saddest Birthday in the World Israel News ...

In this edition we mark the sad birthday of 5-year-old Ariel Bibas, the little redhead being held by Hamas with his baby brother and parents. We also want you to know about the courageous stand taken by Ayelet Samerano against the UNWRA secretary-general in Lausanne.

Read about how long can a hostage survive in captivity, about Turkey in NATO, the threats to Israel from Iran and Hezbollah and what the IDF says might happen.

Datumate Introduces new offerings for Surveying, Construction and Infrastructure companies

Datumate is pleased to introduce an extended photogrammetry suite with industry specific capabilities for Surveying, Construction and Infrastructure companies. Datumate’s automated and professional surveying tools dramatically reduce Field-to-Plan duration, increase productivity and save operational costs while maintaining high level of accuracy. 

The extended software suite now includes designated offerings:

  • DatuSurvey™ Enterprise is aimed at advanced Surveyors, requiring survey grade accuracy with additional capabilities of generating Ortho-photo images and working with Dense Point Clouds.
  • DatuSurvey™ Professional (formerly DatuGram™3D) is a Surveyors’ targeted software that converts aerial and ground images to a high-precision, geo-referenced 2D maps and 3D models.
  • DatuSite™ is geared towards construction (Infrastructure work progress / As-Built, volume calculations etc.), architects (Facades), inspectors and other users who need to generate 3D models. DatuSite will be available worldwide from December 2016.  

New features and capabilities include:

  • Dense Point Cloud Generation and Visualization
    Dense Point Cloud generation and visualization using a 3D viewer are available in DatuSurvey Enterprise and DatuSite software packages with export options of .ply or .dxf.
  • True Orthophoto Export
    Vertical Orthophoto can be exported to external tiff file and visualized using Cloud Compare or other external software that support tiff format. The Orthophoto is already meshed and textured to allow for a high density image. This feature is available in DatuSurvey Enterprise and DatuSite software packages with export option to Geo tiff format.
  • Point cloud projection on 2D plains
    Select a subset of a dense point cloud and project it on one of 6 surfaces. It can also be exported using .ply format file to be processed by other software. Export option to .ply or .png.
  • Automated Job Type Identification
    Job types are automatically identified when images have location and orientation data. Job images will be linked using the correct parameter producing the best and most accurate results.
  • Increased Accuracy & Reliability
    Improved point reconstruction and map accuracy, using global linkage that is based on image GPS location, instead of using the image taking order. True Orthophoto Export Vertical Orthophoto can be exported to external tiff file and visualized using Cloud Compare or other external software that support tiff format. The Orthophoto is already meshed and textured to allow for a high density image. This feature is available in DatuSurvey Enterprise and DatuSite software packages with export option to Geo tiff format.
  • Chinese Version
    Full support for Chinese language including setup, GUI, messages and documentation.
  • Shorten Processing Time
    Efficient and fast linkage process.
