Aerial Photogrammetry

The use of aerial photography and remote sensing technologies, coupled with ground control, produce topographic maps and orthophotographs detailing current conditions of a given area. The information can be used for the preliminary design of roadways, site development, construction, facilities management, and utility engineering, as well as, aid or enhance GIS databases.

Helicopter Photography

Low altitude aerial photography, flown using a helicopter instead of the traditional fixed-wing airplane, has been utilized to gather data approaching survey grade accuracy along congested areas such as roadways. This reduces the dangers of field work and protection of traffic.
