Flyeye now works with ESRI ArcMap version10

When ESRI moved from version 9.x to version 10 of ArcMap, the coding of the program changed. We have rewritten Flyeye to work with the new language and added some minor detail improvements.

Currently working on new features…

Vector overlays are possible (please look at attached screenshot):

We’re also working on the following:

Distance measuring abilities (height and angle)

Standalone Viewer Developed

Flyeye Standalone program released. The program comes in three versions: 1) Flyeye Viewer, 2) Flyeye Coastal Viewer, and 3) Flyeye Corridor Viewer. Coastal and Corridor viewers are presently the same but will support unique features in the future. It is now possible to overlay vectors onto the air photos (regardless of the photo perspective). All existing Flyeye ArcGIS plugin features have been incorporated.

Standalone viewer ~ Customized for oblique air photos

Minor Update ~ ArcMap Version 1.21

Flyeye version 1.2.1 released. Photo number now visible on each photo window. Minor aesthetic changes also incorporated.

Flyeye confirmed to work with ArcMap9.3

Flyeye Update

jamie — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 07:09:14 +0000

Flyeye version 1.2 released.

Continuous panning across adjacent photos now possible. Users can now zoom into a feature (say a hydroline) and the program will automatically load adjacent photos when you come to the edge of a photo. This feature is very useful especially for linear surveys like coastline, transmission corridors, etc.
Camera calibration data supported (focal length, principle point, and radial lens distortion). Accuracy greatly improved, especially when using metric cameras.
User-defined photo scale implemented. The user can now draw a box over the area of interest and all the photos will zoom into the box extents.

DEMs now supported in Flyeye

Use of a DEM now supported. Ground elevation height is used for all photo positioning to improve accuracy.

New Flyeye Features

jamie — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 07:11:18 +0000

New features implemented. The air photo box now has a bottom to select a different photo for the current position. A separate script has been made that generates an index shapefile to display photo coverage’s.
