DAT/EM Systems International makes generous donation to the
University of Alaska Anchorage
Anchorage, Alaska, December 12, 2011 – DAT/EM Systems International donated 16 licenses
of their SUMMIT EVOLUTION Professional digital stereo plotter to the Geomatics Department in
the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) School of Engineering. Valued at over $300,000,
this gift forms part of DAT/EM’s on-going initiative to sponsor higher education through
software, software support, student training and consultation to the faculty.
This latest contribution will permit geomatics students to conduct 3D stereo image analysis in the
school’s new state-of-the-art photogrammetry teaching lab. By viewing photographs on
computers in 3D stereo—using principles similar to the new 3D movies currently being released
in theaters—students will learn how to create maps and map databases for a wide variety of
applications. These include E-911 programs, smart-phone mapping such as Google Maps, base
maps for engineering and construction, municipal and city planning, and geographic information
systems.
DAT/EM Systems has also committed to provide training and consultation to the UAA
geomatics faculty and staff as the software is installed and implemented.
DAT/EM Systems International, located in Anchorage, Alaska, USA has developed
photogrammetric software since 1985. DAT/EM specializes in 3D stereo viewing and feature
