Aerial Imagery

High Resolution Mapping Imagery

Using advanced digital imaging technology, we provide custom aerial imagery captured in panchromatic, RGB color, and/or color infrared. Vertical or oblique aerial imagery can be acquired at various altitudes, based on the resolution and accuracy requirements. We can also provide satellite imagery in numerous formats for locations around the world. Our extensive aerial image archive is available for use in change detection or for historical reference.

Applications of Aerial Imagery

Our customers include civil and environmental engineering firms, utilities, pipelines, city, county, state and federal governmental agencies; transportation companies; law offices; real estate companies; and other commercial industries. Uses for aerial imagery include:

  • Research
  • Documentation
  • Change detection
  • Reconnaissance/planning
  • Planimetric mapping
  • Topographic mapping
  • Alignment mapping
  • Digital terrain modeling
  • Digital orthophotography
  • Volume inventories

Accurate, processed imagery often becomes the land base in the development of Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Though popular in many applications and industries, aerial imaging is under used as a method of data capture. Its versatility and efficiency will be borne out as new and innovative uses for high quality, multi-spectral aerial imagery are discovered.

Flight Operations and Data Capture Methods

Our full-time flight crews operate aircraft specially equipped with the latest digital mapping camera technology, equipped with Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and GPS navigational equipment. This system surpasses the accuracy and resolution specifications of most engineering and government clients.

Deliverables and Custom Finishing

We have retained a full-service photo-imaging lab that can provide single exposure prints, enlargements, or large mosaic prints of your subject area. Imagery is typically delivered digitally, but is also available in traditional continuous tone photo media. Periodic images of a specific area can be morphed to illustrate changes over time.

Dry mounting, lamination and other custom finishing services are also available.
