Capabilities

SOCET GXP® ingests imagery from satellite and aerial sources enabling users to identify, analyze, and extract ground features while supporting rapid product creation. Image analysis, advanced photogrammetric techniques, remote sensing, and feature collection workflows are seamlessly combined into a single, effective solution that delivers the most advanced exploitation of geospatial data.

Imagery Analysis and Intelligence Production

Bringing light to the complexities of your geospatial data, SOCET GXP software enables users to examine every facet of an image with a wide selection of tools including anomaly detection, supervised classification algorithms, and powerful enhancement tools. Complex terrain and temporal analysis tools can be used to improve situational awareness and deliver actionable intelligence to field personnel.

Object Detection

Utilizing both Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) and traditional algorithmic techniques, SOCET GXP is able to automatically detect objects in a given Area of Interest (AoI).

Terrain and LiDAR

Create and visualize bare-earth terrain files, surface models, and point clouds. The 3D Multiport gives analysts a comprehensive view of their data and allows for LiDAR data to be merged with imagery, other terrain models, and 3-D features. Users can quickly switch visualization methods for LiDAR point clouds including colorization by elevation, classification, return level, or imagery.

Motion GEOINT

Locate video assets across an enterprise, no matter where the data is stored or geographically located, with GXP Xplorer® software. Perform video analysis tasks with the GXP InMotion application and export the finished products to SOCET GXP software for even more advanced analysis, annotation, product creation, and delivery.

Standard Templated Products

SOCET GXP software enables development of advanced, customized geospatial products and reports that support collaboration with colleagues and mission partners in the field. Allows both pre-defined and custom product templates. Product templates display with labels extracted from various sources that include imagery metadata, classification markings, system date/time, and user login name.

Developer Resources

The SOCET GXP DevKit contains C++, Python, and JavaScript® libraries that allow applications developed by third-parties to interact with the SOCET GXP software application through actions such as loading images, creating graphics, adding in image processing algorithms, and more.

Remote Sensing

Adhering to prevailing international standards, GXP® software is renowned for its wealth of sensor models, supporting numerous electro-optical, infrared, multispectral, hyperspectral and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and LiDAR sensors. Many GXP sensor models are rigorous (i.e., they mathematically model the physical characteristics of the sensor), providing a degree of accuracy far above standard models which generally fit the physical system but don’t replicate its inner structure.
