Transform your image files with unbeatable efficiency and accuracy. Geographic Transformer contains the most powerful raster transformation tools available today allowing for higher order math transformation models, up to fifth order polynomial, for true warping and accurate reprojection. The Transformer also sits on GeoCalc.XML the world's largest, most reliable and accurate coordinate transformation datasource. The tool also has great batching capabilities for large transformation jobs. Transformer allows users to georeference images, reproject them, as well as tile and mosaick the data. The application allows you to reference an image from either an existing reference file, or by using our popular and user friendly “point-and-click” method with an already referenced image. The tool essentially sets up a relationship between known control points and the associated pixels values of your image. The Transformer also has great file format support and cutting edge compression capabilities. Transformer supports all the major GIS file formats including read and write of the three major compression formats ECW, JPG2000, and MrSID. You can save your work out in whatever file format you need as one image, a mosaic of images or smaller tiled pieces.
Featuring MrSID write! Still the only raster tool available on the market that allows read and write to all of the major compression formats. Includes 500MBs of MrSID write free with purchase of the Geographic Transformer 6.1! More credits are available only through Blue Marble for a special discounted rate.
Image data sources including scanned paper maps, aerial photos, and satellite imagery are now required components of digital mapping when reprojected as image maps for use as a background, or base map upon which other spatial data is overlaid. The Geographic Transformer allows you to easily establish an "image-to-world" relationship between image and map coordinates and reproject an image into a georeferenced image map. The tool has been in use since 1995 and was one of the first raster reprojection tools available.
Geographic Transformer's Georeferencer
With the release of 6.0 Transformer became a part of the Blue Marble Desktop and comes packed with a number of great features including:
- Dockable windows
- Workspace settings that can be saved and shipped to other users
- Administrative tools that can be used to lock down editing of the coordinate datasource to protect definitions and guide users
- Complete FLEXnet licensing for easier porting of licenses and WAN usage
- USB Dongle licensing
- A datasource merge tool
- The ability to transform between any datum (not just WGS84) and much, much more.
But simply put you can now work with all of the geodetic and coordinate transformation tools of the Geographic Calculator right in the same interface as the Transformer.
