About SimActive

SimActive is a software company in Montreal, Canada, that makes Correlator3D, a photogrammetry program for turning drone, aircraft and satellite images into maps.

The company has built photogrammetry software since 2003. It says it introduced the first GPU-powered aerial triangulation and surface model engines in the industry. These engines made processing many times faster. It has kept updating the product since then.

Correlator3D works with one interface for any sensor. For drones, it brings the precision of large format camera photogrammetry to drone mapping. For aircraft, it offers high accuracy for photogrammetry experts. For satellites, it maps large areas of any terrain quickly. The software handles large mapping projects. Users can create digital surface models, point clouds, digital terrain models, orthomosaics, 3D models and Gaussian splat models.

SimActive also sells distributed processing and a scripting and API option for the software. It points to lower processing times, better control of project schedules and lower mapping costs as the main benefits.

The company offers professional services as well. In its data processing service, experts run a customer's image set through Correlator3D. They tag ground control points by hand and check quality. The customer gets a surface model, terrain model, orthomosaic, textured 3D model and a quality report. Drone projects cost 295 USD per block of 500 images up to 61 MP. Aerial and satellite projects are priced on request. It also runs training sessions on the customer's own data and helps improve whole production workflows.

Its customers work in defense, surveying, construction, agriculture, mining, forestry and emergency response. Mapping firms such as Cornerstone Mapping, ISG Inc. and Extreme Aerial describe using the software for quality control, site monitoring, topographic and volume projects.
