During this unprecedented period of time all Geosense staff are currently working remotely in line with government guidelines. Our team remain available to ensure all operations, data streaming services and support functions are running as usual.
The oblique camera system is a calibrated metric digital camera.
Geosense use the MIDAS 5 cameras system, coupled with the Applanix Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), to capture oblique imagery during an aerial imagery survey
The system is much like the large format Vexcel Ultracam digital cameras that we use for vertical imagery surveys, and captures oblique imagery with a very high precision geometric fidelity
When applying ground control, we strive to achieve 2 pixel accuracy in the x,y,z RMSE across all 5 cameras
As with vertical imagery, the level of detail that can be seen on an oblique aerial image depends upon the camera used to capture the imagery during the survey and its Ground Sampling Distance (GSD).
