Lewis and Clark Products

Of course, our premier product at the moment is our Lewis and Clark software. Focused on providing a non-commercial, educational and research tool for investigating the Lewis and Clark Trail, this software features an easy to use navigation window and provides access to our database of aerial images covering most of the Trail. The software is planned for release during Fall 2004. Read more...

We also will be offering an authoring version of our software. This version provides the navigation and database tools from our software, along with access to our database of over 50,000 images to authors writing about Lewis and Clark. USA Aloft helps you integrate your material with our software. Read more...

Consulting

We can help you with your next project. USA Aloft draws on its years of expertise to offer consulting services in a variety of areas. Two examples:

Scientific Programming. We work in many languages; listed alphabetically, the most popular are C, C++, Fortran and Java. Our lead Systems Architect, David Saxe, has 30 years of experience in scientific programming, data analysis and image analysis.
Interfaces to Kodak Professional Cameras. Our custom built stereo image collection system employs a mix of Java and native C software working with the Kodak SDK to control our cameras and process images. Our libraries provide image access directly to the Java language.
Stereo Imaging. We can help you give a true 3D look to your images with camera systems and software.

High Quality Digital Photography

Need professional quality digital images? Our 6 Mega Pixel, Nikon based, Kodak Professional camera images may be just what you want. Images from this camera system will provide high quality prints up to 16x20. In house, we can provide low volume, reasonably priced archival quality prints up to 13x19. Contact us for details.

Fine Art Photography

David Saxe's portfolios, including "Observations of Nature" are now available for viewing and purchase. Read about our fine art offerings.

Time Lapse Video

Need a video condensing 18 months of building construction into several minutes? Our stereo collection system is automated to take pictures at regular intervals. Using two cameras for stereo or just a single camera, we create time lapse photography of a subject. We post-process the sequence of images, adding music and titles to produce a video presentation of the subject in transition. Using custom software, we can even align and scale images taken from different cameras to produce a similar effect. Output media can be for the web, VHS or DVD.
