Home » Aero-Metric, Inc. Chooses Z/I Imaging's Digital Mapping Camera 09.10.2003
Rapid and accurate imagery output of the Digital Mapping Camera key for
mapping of US shoreline and major ports for National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration.
Z/I Imaging Corporation, an Intergraph
Company, announced that Aero-Metric, Inc. (Sheboygan, WI) has
purchased the Z/I Imaging Digital Mapping Camera (DMC) system, which
provides a complete digital workflow for data acquisition that includes
mission planning, sensor management, digital imagery processing and
photogrammetric software. A leading photogrammetric engineering firm for
Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Aero-Metric's range of services
include aerial photography, photogrammetry, survey and customized, specialty
services for satellite imagery processing and remote sensing. As the
recipient of a recent National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
contract to provide shoreline mapping services, Aero-Metric will use the DMC
to produce maps for some of the estimated 95,000 miles of U.S. shoreline or
any of the nation's 48 major ports. By utilizing the DMC with its innovative
framing technology and multi-use sensor, Aero-Metric can capture large-,
medium- and small-scale imagery with a reduced number of photoflights while
ensuring highly accurate input for the downstream processes. This ensures
that the resulting maps are precise.
Aero-Metric, Inc. chose Z/I Imaging's DMC because of its highly innovative
modular design based on Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) matrix (frame) sensors.
"Because Z/I Imaging and Aero-Metric, Inc. are innovators in the
photogrammetric industry we know that we can depend on the leading-edge
technology of the DMC to rapidly produce final products that satisfy our
most demanding customers," said Bernard Schur, President, Aero-Metric, Inc.
"The technical advantage of the DMC's 12-bit imagery will ensure that
extremely accurate geometry is delivered for producing the exact results
needed in an automated mensuration and triangulation workflow. For our
aerial missions, we also need to be able to move large amounts of image data
from an aircraft operating in remote areas back to the central processing
facility. The DMC not only provides us with the tools to do all this but it
makes sure that it rapidly delivers the data, so we can efficiently meet our
deadlines."
