Technical Information

Aerial Photography is accomplished utilizing a specially modified Cessna Turbo 206 Aircraft with a Zeiss RMK Top15 Camera System equipped with Forward Motion Compensation. Film is developed with an AGFA Gevatone 66. Diapositves 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 four computer assisted stations consisting of two Zeiss C-120/Atlas fully analytical plotters, one Zeiss IMA analytical plotter and a KLT Atlas Digital Stereo Plotter with Digital Orthophoto capability. Aerotriangulation 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 files are translated to AutoCAD, MicroStation or other CAD or LIS/GIS system formats.
