Strabo hardware specifications
Minimum hardware requirements
- OS: >= Windows 98. NT, 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7 are supported
- Processor: Pentium III - 300 or higher.
- Memory: 512 MB RAM. We advise 1GB RAM for better performance.
- Program discspace: 60 MB.
- For maximum performance of image refreshing we suggest dual (or more) processor PC's although this is not necessary for running Strabo, but some processes are able to run multithreaded.
Minimum data collection hardware requirements
All data collection can be done using a standard system mouse.
Upgrade of your data collection hardware
For 'Data Collection', Strabo supports the 3D SoftMouse from Immersion (an Immersion company product) as well as the 'Stealth 2' 3D Mouse from Stealth International (http://www.stealth3dmouse.com/) which are 100% compatible.
Minimum stereo viewing requirements
These are the minimum conditions for viewing stereo imagery using Strabo:
- A standard color screen (CRT or LCD)
- A standard system mouse with a scroll button
- Standard anaglyph glasses for stereo visualization.
This means that you can start stereo viewing, using a standard PC.
Upgrade of your stereo viewing system
For increased viewing quality, we propose to use the Strabox Stereo Viewer for excellent viewing conditions.
Strabox
The Strabox viewer is a stereo viewing box using LCD technology to create stereoscopic vision. Only passive polarized glasses are needed. This eliminates the need for CRT screens with high refresh rates. The Strabox gives you a very clear, bright stereoscopic view, rich in contrast. There are no moving parts inside, creating the optimal conditions for a stereo environment.
For using Strabox you need a graphics card supporting at least 3 screens. Contact strabo@orbitgis.com for more info concerning graphic card.
Stereographics
The Stereographics shutter glasses (e.g. CrystalEyes Workstation) are supported for stereoscopic viewing. For using the stereographics equipment you also have to install a supported graphics card.
See http://www.reald.com/scientific/ for further information on supported graphic cards.
The Orbit GT Photogrammetric Work Station
The complete photogrammetric work station for an optimal view includes a widescreen strabox combined with two widescreen displays as shown in the image below. Using two standard high quality LCD screens, the Strabox offers outstanding stereo viewing results, perfectly fit for intensive use and data capture. The integration with GIS on your main monitor allows stereoscopically captured data to be edited immediately. Combined with two widescreen monitors Strabox is the total solution for your photogrammetric work station. This complete system can be ordered at Orbit GT.
