About UsEstablished 2004, Metro Washington DC Developed advanced remote sensing software, solutions, and servicesDedicated R&D and production facilitiesEsri Silver PartnerGlobal reach through unique collection techniques
Why Photogrammetry?High-quality Output dataWide range of uses for Output data
Basic aerial mappingChange/anomaly detectionMultispectral imagery3D modeling/simulations
Science and art combinedVisually beautiful end productGeographically/mathematically sound
What is an Orthomosaic?Ortho-rectification + Mosaicing = Orthomosaic
Ortho-rectification corrects imagery for distortions using elevation data and camera calibration informationMosiacing is the process of stitching multiple images together into one single image
Why is it important?Gives big-picture, geospatially accurate views of large areas of interest
How it’s made?The Photogrammetric Process
The Process
What is Photogrammetry?Determines the geometric properties of photograph(s)Should be geographically accurate
Does not necessarily mean geographically accurate
Geography matters
