Testimonial:

“And not only is PCI Geomatics doing well for itself, it’s doing good for the world. By helping the world to measure carbon emissions and the effectiveness of plans to reduce those emissions, you’re helping us to win the fight against climate change.” Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty

"COTESA has considered the wide spectrum of image processing products in the marketplace and has chosen PCI Geomatics due to the high quality of the results provided by Geomatica's algorithms and the substantial increase in processing capability acquired with the solution implemented," said Dr. Francisca Gómez, head of COTESA’s Environment Department

“Traditional methods for correcting SPOT images were simply too expensive and time-intensive to meet the needs of our client, the Government of Canada. The scalability of a PCI Geomatics automated orthorectification system will allow for the rapid and cost-effective production of accurate images with little user intervention.” Brett Michelson, Vice President of Business Development at Iunctus Geomatics
