Leveraging Sensor Technology • Active Sensors • LiDAR and energized laser beams • Multi-beam and high energy sonar pulses • Passive Sensors • Multi-spectral sensors (red, green, blue, near-infrared bands) • Hyperspectral sensors (electromagnetic radiation outside visible spectral range) • Thermal sensors (temperature signatures)
Typical Configurations • 1-foot pixel – 10,000 feet • 6-inch pixel – 5,000 feet
6-inch resolution THE POWER OF DATA ENHANCED PHOTOGRAMMETRY
What if? • Reduce the number of flight lines? • Increase the altitude?
The future of geospatial technology is . . . . Better Imagery
