The Future of Feature Extraction, Image Classification and Change Mapping
IMAGINE Objective includes an innovative set of tools, enabling geospatial data layers to be created and maintained using remotely sensed imagery. Combining inferential learning with expert knowledge in a true object-oriented feature extraction environment, IMAGINE Objective emulates human visual processing. IMAGINE Objective also encapsulates vector processing operators to produce GIS-ready data with minimal post processing.

IMAGINE Objective can also classify high resolution imagery for tasks such as vegetation mapping and delineation. Here the area of a golf course has been analyzed for variations in grass health and to map other associated land cover classes.
Automation
IMAGINE Objective provides technology to frequently update your geospatial content. This unique tool allows you to reduce the labor, time and cost intensive manual digitization associated with the creation of geospatial information with automated extraction.
Repeatability
Feature Models designed for extracting a certain type of feature or classification can be saved and re-used on other images or re-applied at different dates. This is ideal for legal situations, by providing access to the exact processing history of a specific location.
Highly Versatile
IMAGINE Objective can be used for mapping residential buildings today, then used for vegetation mapping tomorrow. This flexible tool allows you to extract, update and change features to meet a broad range of industry needs.
