The Digital Aerial Advantage

Highest Resolution
For projects in the US and Europe requiring resolution better than satellites can provide, digital aerial imagery is the only choice.

15-cm/30-cm Stereo Pairs & 20-cm/40-cm DSM's
Thanks to our aerial imagery partner, Hexagon, we proudly offer 15-cm and 30-cm stereo pairs of the United States and Europe; as well as off-the-shelf 20-cm and 40-cm digital surface models (DSMs) derived from these stereo pairs and delivered as LAS point clouds. The DSMs are also available as 5-meter raster DSMs. These digital elevation models (DEMs) boast a horizontal accuracy of 1.2-meter RMSE (2.6-m CE90%) with a vertical accuracy two times the nominal stereo ground sampling distance (GSD). For more detailed DSM and stereo pair product specifications, please refer to our post here.

NIR for Vegetation
Our digital aerial imagery can be delivered with the near-infrared (NIR) band. NIR data can help map plants and assess their health as well as assist with forestry applications.

Ideal for Regional Mapping
Offered as a new collection or from an extensive archive, our digital aerial imagery is ideal for regional mapping projects.
Overview & HistoryAerial SpecificationsPricing

With a maximum resolution of 15-centimeter (cm), digital aerial imagery separates itself from satellite imagery by the clarity it can offer. We provide brand-new digital aerial imagery over the continental United States and then 15-cm to 30-cm data from an archive that covers much of the USA and Europe. This 15 to 30-cm imagery can be delivered in color, color infrared or as a 4-band multispectral product including the near-infrared (NIR) band.

New collections of digital aerial imagery are often delivered within 1 to 2 months of order confirmation, making this data the ideal choice for time-sensitive projects covering large areas.
