Photogrammetry Services


 

Project Planning and Management


  • Dedication to the technical specifications, delivery schedule and client expectations are key to project success.
  • Experienced project managers liaise with clients and oversee all project stages.
  • Rigorous quality control procedures and interim progress reports are standard.

 

Flight and GCP Planning and Aerial Photo Acquisition


 

  • Detailed flight planning with the optimal amount of ground surveying keeps costs manageable without reducing accuracy.
  • Airborne GPS is used to bolster accuracy and reduce costly field surveys wherever possible.
  • Local survey partners may gather the GCP coordinates while local aircraft use USGS-calibrated cameras.
  • Black & white, color and infra-red photography requirements are all accommodated.
  • Detailed, advanced film inspection is also available.

Scanning


 

  • High resolution scanners and powerful image acquisition and processing software are used.
  • Resolution as detailed as 7 microns is possible.
  • Films, contact prints and diapositives can be converted into various digital file formats.
  • Sample scans may be produced for clients for review and approval.

Aerotriangulation


 

  • State-of-the-art Softcopy photogrammetric workstations are used.
  • Automated AT is available but manual AT processing is preferred for its higher accuracy.
  • A root mean square (RMS) error of less than [1/10,000 times flying height] is typical.

Topographic and Planimetric Feature Extraction


  • Extraction occurs in a Microstation environment and can be exported to any CAD/GIS format.
  • Planimetric feature extraction follows applicable feature tables or database dictionaries.
  • High quality DTM, DEM and/or contour files are derived by our team of experienced photogrammetrists.
  • IIC has extensive expertise with large and small scale mapping (1"=40’ and smaller).

Digital Orthophotography


 

  • IIC uses the latest, superior quality orthorectification techniques.
  • Advanced methods used to correct camera, lens and relief distortions.
  • Further processing includes precise dodging, mosaicking and global tone balancing.
  • Seamlines are generated automatically and edited manually to ensure seamlessness between the tiles.
  • Special attention is given to bridges to avoid smearing at the stereo compilation level.
  • An intense quality assurance process ensures 100% adherence to customer specifications.
