Next-Generation Automatic Terrain Extraction (NGATE)

Color-coded elevation points created by NGATE

Color-coded elevation points created by NGATE

NGATE, an image processing innovation from BAE Systems, provides automatic generation of terrain and surface models by image matching or correlation.

The 3-D terrain and surface models generated by NGATE can be used for geospatial simulations, mission rehearsals, situational awareness, and disaster relief and recovery.

NGATE uses a hybrid matching process to create precise elevation data for 3-D terrain and surface models. The software is particularly useful for mapping urban areas, large geographic landscapes, mountainous or rough terrain, and areas with little contrast, such as road surfaces on large-scale imagery or vast deserts.
