Welcome to Fagerman Technologies, Inc. Photogrammetry Website.
Fagerman
Technologies, Inc., is committed to providing quality services,
consulting, and software to meet the demanding needs of today’s photogrammetry business. Our primary service area is softcopy photo triangulation. Our
essential ingredient is a strong fundamental understanding of photogrammetry and exploitation of existing systems. Photogrammetry is our business. We been
successfully using ISAT on many large DMC and film-based projects (as in
thousands of photos per project). To provide only the best solution for our customers, we strongly encourage
the use of a fully capable bundle adjustment program that will grow as your
needs grow. As a result, Fagerman
Technologies, Inc., has exclusive rights to sell and support BINGO
in Fagerman Technologies, Inc., was founded and is operated by Jeff Fagerman, PLS, who has 14 years of experience developing state-of-the-art photogrammetric solutions for Intergraph. This includes working as Chief Photogrammetrist on the IMA, IMD, and IMZ. Understanding technology and when to put it into production has been an integral part of this experience. In addition, Jeff is a practicing Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) in the
state of Fagerman Technologies, Inc., specializes in softcopy photo triangulation (AT) services. Our primary goal is to fill the niche of the specialized photogrammetrist which many times is the bottleneck in the photogrammetric operation. In this capacity, we can provide support for selecting the appropriate targeting, image scale, control point distribution, and survey control information (including coordinate system definition). Proper exploitation of AGPS in the bundle adjustment is also our responsibility. We use the Intergraph Imaging product, ISDM/ISAT, for measurement due to intimate familiarity with the product having been chiefly responsible for the product while at Intergraph. No job is too big or too small. We have provided measurement and adjustment of blocks from only a couple of photos up to several thousand photos. Our measurement is of the highest quality and reliability. BINGO is fully capable of processing airborne GPS (AGPS) including drift and shift parameters (if necessary), antenna offset determination, self-calibration, and INS (IMU) data. Hi/Lo data transfer, multi-temporal transfer, and stereo pug transfer have all been successfully performed in-house. Our price structure for AT services is very aggressive. Photogrammetric Software Tools & Downloads Tutorials. We
have some tutorials available to show you what our tools do and how they can
help you in the AT process. To view
our tutorials simply click
here. 1. Disk Organizer. This little tool will re-organize all of the files you have in a folder into "pack sized" folders. For instance, if you create orthos and deliver them on DVDs (e.g. to the state or county), this tool can be used to break up the output files into logically grouped and DVD sized folders. It's very easy to use and works great. It seems trivial to have such a tool but once you use it you see that it can really save you time and pain. It also let's you preview what it's about to do and you can save what it does in an index file to easily find the image/file you are looking for. http://www.medlookusa.com/outgoing/Setup_DiskOrgnzr_2p0.exe, $75. 2. CD Reader. Ever been given a box of CDs or DVDs to read? I've been given literally hundreds before. This tool allows you to specify where you want to load the CD/DVD data to on your system (local or networked). It doesn't matter how many CD/DVD readers you have on your system, it will sequence through them all when they're ready. You simply pop in the CD/DVD and close the door. The program will read the media when it's ready and pop the door back out when it's done. A little kid can drive this - and mine did at 5 yrs old! http://www.medlookusa.com/outgoing/Setup_CDReader_2p0.exe, $50. 3. GraphAT. This is a graphic display tool for AT analysis and review. It's very similar to the Intergraph Footprint Viewer, but provides essential information not displayed in ISDM/ISAT. False tie points, points that are not really valid (stereo in two strips) tie points, multi-scale ties, etc. are all possible to view in this tool. It requires the Intergraph data file (project, photo, camera). http://www.medlookusa.com/outgoing/Setup_GraphAT_2p0.exe, $500. 4. BingoEZ. This program provides a smooth and
efficient integration between Intergraph and BINGO (from GIP in http://www.medlookusa.com/outgoing/Setup_BingoEZ_2p0.exe, $1000. 5. AGPS Station Finder. If you work with projects with lots of photos and AGPS data, this is the tool for you. Given an Intergraph project (project, photo, camera) and a text file (or files) containing AGPS/IMU data, this tool will magically and very quickly match events to photos. In the case of duplicate matches it is almost always possible to resolve ambiguities using the 'Keep Best' option but you can manually override and select individuals to discard. This program outputs the data into simple tabular form (two types) as well as in BINGO, PAT-B, and Intergraph format. This is a must have for uses doing much AGPS/IMU work. http://www.medlookusa.com/outgoing/Setup_AGPS_2p0.exe, $500. 6. Pug Burner. This utility allows you to burn "pug" marks into your raster files. It's not something you do everyday, that's for sure. But some clients still insist upon having the measurements permanently burned into the raster image. That's exactly what this utility does. There are some prerequisites for this product (I think it requires at least ISPM or some other Intergraph product to be installed on the system). There is no current download link. $600. 7. BINGO. BINGO is the full-blown photo triangulation bundle adjustment software package from GIP, Eng (http://www.gip-aalen.de/). It is the most comprehensive package available on the market today. BingoEZ provides a smooth and easy interface with the Intergraph IMZ stations and BAE provides a fully integrated system with their product lines. Call for pricing and an evaluation copy. Other utilities will also be available soon (PAT-B .ori files from Intergraph, model analyzer for breaks between models, etc.). Photogrammetric Consulting/Training Specialized training on the Intergraph product ISDM/ISAT (and related products) is available.
