Leica Ortho Accelerator (LOA) is an enterprise-enabled geospatial process management system with orthorectification and mosaicking capabilities. Created under a strategic development agreement between Leica Geosystems and GeoCue Corporation (NIIRS10), this new product will integrate certain technology from Leica Geosystems into GeoCue. These Leica proprietary CuePacs will realize multi-user “supervisory enabled” integrated workflows. A CuePac is a collection of GeoCue menus, checklist and auxiliary programs that implement a preset group of workflows.

LOA takes maximum advantage of distributed and scheduled workflow processing provided by the command dispatch system in GeoCue. Dedicated workstations can be used for alternative processing tasks, while ortho jobs are dispatched to a series of computers or “nodes”, which will result in faster ortho production.

Key Features
The Leica Ortho and Mosaic tools are automatically invoked and the data is automatically loaded into the applications.

• Distributed processing enables the division of large ortho production tasks and dispatching to a series of nodes.
• Dispatch processing enables scheduled orthorectification and mosaic creation to occur at user defined times.
• Dispatched tasks can be run on a machine other than the one on which it was launched.
• The enterprise ortho production system of LOA enables simultaneous access to the same production project by multiple users from any workstation in the production network.
• Synoptic project status viewing enables monitoring the progress of scheduled tasks, rescheduling the tasks that have not started and terminating the scheduled tasks.
• Data is hosted in the GeoCue Server and each manipulation is incrementally saved via transaction processing against the database. Also, the system is protected from unauthorized access to data.

Benefits

• LOA is highly scalable and benefits both large and small customers.
• Distributed processing increases throughput and frees up operators to perform other tasks.
• Distributed processing harnesses the processing power of several CPU nodes to achieve greater throughput.
• Purchasing nodes instead of full workstations represents lower costs.
• Project Status Viewing provides real-time and accurate status updates of all processing computers as the project progresses.
