Leica PRO600PRO600 is a highly sophisticated, function-rich and robust packagefor accurate three-dimensional stereo photogrammetric featureand digital terrain model (DTM) collection and editing.

Developed by Authorized Bentley Partner Leica Geosystems, PRO600provides a wealth of cartographic tools to maximize feature collectionand editing efficiency in photogrammetric production. PRO600operates entirely within the Bentley MicroStation V8 environment.

Key features include:

• High performance photogrammetric stereo viewing engine

• Sophisticated data collection and editing tools

• Easy-to-edit feature definition library

• Collection, editing and display of digital terrain models

• Flexible and easy-to-learn user interface

• Annotation and manuscript preparation tools

• Support for Leica TopoMouse™ and other 3D input devices

• Close integration with Leica Photogrammetry Suite (LPS)

• Also available for analog and analytical photogrammetric systems

PRO600 has become the system of choice for MicroStation users.

Feature collection and editing is central to photogrammetricproduction. For photogrammetry professionals, delivering geographic data to clients in a cost-effective, timely and consistentfashion is a top priority. Having the right software for featurecollection and editing is vital to success.

CAD-based systems have proven tremendously popular and playa leading role in modern photogrammetric production. The CADsystem preferred by many users in the photogrammetric communityis Bentley MicroStation. PRO600 from Leica Geosystems is themarket leader in the effective integration with MicroStation.

MicroStation design file graphics are displayed by PRO600 in full 3D stereo.

PRO600 offers powerful quality assurancetools to allow for checks on data integrity.

Parallel line generation rules are definedin the PRO600 feature definition library.

Available Modules

PRO600 consists of several add-on modules to MicroStation.All modules may be used together as a fully integratedpackage, or in various combinations to create targetedsolutions for specific tasks.

PROCART

PROCART provides core cartographic functions for feature collection and editing. Its feature definition librarycombines with a variety of sophisticated tools to maximizeproductivity. These tools may be used in a 3D stereo pho-togrammetric environment or for “offline” 2D editing.Cartographic presentation tools include line patterning,polygon hatching, contour annotation and manuscript gridplacement.

PROLPS

PROLPS provides the link between MicroStation and theLPS Stereo module. MicroStation design file graphics arevisualized in full 3D using the LPS stereo viewer.Coordinate measurements in X, Y and Z provide input to theactive editing tool in MicroStation. PROLPS can be used toprovide a stereo editing environment for any MicroStationadd-on.

PRODTM

PRODTM provides a variety of tools that can be combinedto create productive workflows for terrain modeling applications. Terrain models can be generated by directmeasurement. Existing models may be edited and refinedusing the vector features in the MicroStation design file.PRODTM operates on all terrain file formats supported byLeica Photogrammetry Suite, and also serves as an interfaceto TerraModeler for advanced terrain analysis operations.

TerraModeler

This is a third party MicroStation add-on package fromTerraSolid Ltd, offering more sophisticated digital terrainmodel display and analysis for engineering and other appli-cations.

Leica Photogrammetry Suite

Leica Photogrammetry Suite (LPS) is a versatile softwareproduct for digital photogrammetric workstations, providingaccurate, production-oriented photogrammetric tools for abroad range of geospatial imaging applications. It allowsusers to work with imagery from a wide variety of sourcesand formats including black and white, color or multispec-tral, with up to 16 bits per band. LPS also generates thewhole range of deliverables photogrammetrists demand,from raw imagery to line-of-sight analyses.

PRO600 provides tools that aid the extractionof 3D building models from imagery.
