Technical Information

Aerial Photography is accomplished utilizing a specially modified Cessna Turbo 206 Aircraft with a ZEISS LMK 1015 Camera System equipped with Forward Motion Compensation and Gyro-stabilized Mount.(Please note that the ZIESS LMK 1015 camera is currently not in service, but a High Resolution Digital Camera is available). Film is developed with an AGFA GEVATONE 66. Diapositives and paper photographs are made on an EGOLTRONICS vacuum printer. In addition, we provide digital aerial photography services such as contact printing, enlargements and scanning.

Digital map data is compiled from aerial photography at three computer assisted stations consisting of two ZEISS C-120/ATLAS fully analytical plotters and one ZEISS IMA analytical plotter. Aero triangulation is supported by a WILD PUG 3 point transfer device.

The raw digital map data is processed and refined at the plotter stations with KLT ATLAS editing software. Final hard copies are produced on Mylar or paper utilizing a HEWLETT PACKARD inkjet plotter. The final digital map file is translated to AUTOCAD, INTERGRAPH or other CAD or LIS/GIS system formats and a variety of ASCIIXYZ POINT formats.
