Products overview

Oblique images: Strategy

Use of a 9 cm ultra wide angle analogue aerial camera Along and cross track at least 70% overlap Features

each object is showed on at least 9 images from 9 different points of view

A systematic area coverage is easy to guarantee

Oblique images: Strategy

Advantages A traditional flight plan and management

is usable For orientation purposes traditional approaches,

can be used: Software and experienced people are available

Less images are required, less effort for image orientation and data extraction is necessary

The high resolution of analogue aerial film delivers high quality images

high economic efficiency
