- Message from Iwane Laboratories -

Its been 30 years that we developed our CV Technology and have offered products which are unique and can be termed as technological capital. Gradually we have realized that the range of application of our technology is broad, with each day passing by its becoming broader and its impossible for us to keep a tab on the all the areas of application as long as we keep it exclusive and the social contribution is quite small. We believe that a technology can be refined further and improved by being used universally, thus it will leverage the value also.

Iwane Mobile Mapping System

With the continued growth of urban centres all around the world, city planners are required to keep up with up-to-date geographical at a faster rate. This has led to the establishment of spatially-referenced Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for a variety of municipal applications. This information, however, is expensive to obtain by conventional methods. But using IMMS one can map large area with comparative Low Cost.

PCCI - Programmable Continuous Combined Image

3DCG automatic generation from real image -3D PCCI-

Thumbnail Click to Play Movie.　Click Fullscreen ON/OFF to Full Screen.

The polygon and the texture can be acquired at the same time from the images directly by using our CVTechnology.

User can obtain three-dimensional coordinates directly from the image by clicking a point on the image.
The detailed polygon and the textures are generated from all surrounding video image captured not only from street level imagery but also aerial imagery.
The matching between the polygon and the texture is perfect and the coordinates accuracy and the reality of 3D CG are substantially upgraded.
The range of 3D CG broadened further because of cost effective methods of making such 3D CG.
All the image sequences captured in the video can be developed as 3D CG, and the images which have not been captured in the video can also be developed as 3D CG through the coordinates integration technology (released soon) with other imageries and the aerial video, which can be treated like the same image sequesces.
Hybrid usage with other technology and our RCG is also possible.
It changes from the image to 3DCG in the seamless.
Iwane Mobile Mapping System which is the unit for generating this product "3D PCCI" and the multipurpose CV Image is also on sale.

ALV for ArcGIS®

Thumbnail Click to Play Movie.　Click Fullscreen ON/OFF to Full Screen.

Iwane has released Active Link Vision™ (ALV) for ArcGIS®, which runs with ESRI's ArcGIS (specifically ArcMap™) In ALV, 3D geospatial video runs inside the docking window of ArcMap with each frame linked to geographic coordinates. ALV provides real interaction between 2D and 3D environments; users can do measurement, add computer graphics, and tags, and store information in a geodatabase.

Population of Database

Data Extraction tools now exist to provide the mechanism to perform the extraction and normalization of textual data from single sources (360 degree Video data).
The user can populate and categorize the features according to a specific domain (i.e., concept) that has been pre-defined and managed in the form of layers.
All the features like Carriageway, Earthworks, embankments ,Bridges, Footway/cycle ways, Other highway structures, Street lighting, Drainage, Signs, Traffic Signals, Road markings/studs Safety fencing, Verge and landscaped areas can be populated.
Existing GIS data can be populated inside the Video, visualized and managed.

Digitization

Digitization inside the Video, which is a unique feature, has been released by Iwane Laboratories, Ltd. With the help of this tool which is built-in ALV for Arc GIS, one can digitize the feature object in the form of line, polygon and point features.
The drawing tools are provided for making the lines network and digitization inside the video will reflect on the Map as a 2D feature. Highly accurate street maps can be created by using the Digitization feature of ALV for Arc GIS.

Asset Information

The integration of GIS and asset management functionality in "ALV for ArcGIS" gives municipalities a distinct advantage in tracking, locating, and managing assets by making critical functionality easily accessible.
Any kind of object or element can be mapped and managed inside the Video.
Information like text, pictures, can be added and linked to the object which furthermore can be queried.
Integration of existing and future management systems and data.
