What Sets Aerial Imagery Apart?

Close-up acquisition

Flexible mobilization

Variety of perspectives

Precise fit for purpose

Page 16: Challenges & Opportunities of Aerial Image Acquistion

Enabling Geospatial Infrastructure

Getting the Most from Aerial Imagery requires a Geospatial Infrastructure

Collect Process Integrate Deploy

Page 17: Challenges & Opportunities of Aerial Image Acquistion

CollectionDetermines timeliness, fit for purpose, accuracy

Page 18: Challenges & Opportunities of Aerial Image Acquistion

ProcessingDetermines final imagery properties and accuracy, file format and size

Page 19: Challenges & Opportunities of Aerial Image Acquistion

IntegrationDetermines imagery fit within intended geospatial solution, accessibility and administration

Page 20: Challenges & Opportunities of Aerial Image Acquistion

DeploymentMaximizes imagery use and value to the business
