Product catalog summary
Overview
Optech HydroFusion is a comprehensive software suite designed for the Optech CZMIL system, aimed at enhancing data and product delivery by integrating lidar and imagery data sets. It automates the production of high-resolution 3D data and environmental image products using data from bathymetric lidar, hyperspectral imaging, and digital metric cameras.
Development and Collaboration
The software was developed by Optech for the U.S. Government, specifically under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise, with testing support from the University of Southern Mississippi.
Features & Benefits
  • Comprehensive processing for all three sensors from mission planning to data products.
  • Includes lidar point cloud editing tools and a 3D volume visualizer for advanced analysis.
  • Utilizes multi-sensor data fusion algorithms for benthic classification maps.
  • Features a globe-based GUI for simplified data management across survey missions.
  • Supports data sharing via an office server for multiple users.
Software Workflow
The workflow includes flight planning, data collection, processing, analysis, and fusion, leading to various output products.
Data Products
  • Level 2: Auto processing of lidar point clouds.
  • Level 4: Image generation including lidar depth grids, DEMs, and reflectance image mosaics.
  • Level 5: Features and classification maps for benthic habitats and land cover.
  • Level 6: Environmental products such as shoreline vectors and building footprints.

Optech Hydrofusion-1

Optech HydroFusion Optech HydroFusion is a powerful end-to-end software suite for Optech CZMIL that accelerates data and product delivery, and improves the quality of information products derived from fused lidar and imagery data sets. It automatically produces high-resolution 3D data and environmental image products by combining data from three sensors—bathymetric lidar, hyperspectral imaging system and digital metric camera—within a data fusion paradigm. Optech HydroFusion software includes mission planning, data processing and final product generation, all in one system. Optech HydroFusion was designed by Optech for the U.S. Government under the auspices of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX). It was built and tested by Optech with the assistance of the University of Southern Mississippi (USM). Optech HydroFusion Information Sheet
