Our analytical photogrammetry and aerial mapping department is one of the most skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced in the nation. Cooper Aerial Surveys Co. has the capability to manage and execute projects of nearly unlimited scope in a timely manner. We are a leading mapping aerial photogrammetry company, specializing in:
- Real Time Photogrammetry
- Photogrammetry Accident Reconstruction
- Remote Sensing
- Photogrammetry Surveying
- Erosion Control
- Spherical Control
- Spherical Photogrammetry
- GPS & IMU
A series of strict quality control checks throughout the production process ensure that all digital mapping projects meet or exceed National Map Accuracy Standards.
Analytical Aerotriangulation
The first step in our photogrammetry process is analytical aerotriangulation (AT). Our AT software enhances the ground control with the generation of additional analytic points. This enables us to verify the ground control as well as set up the project for mapping. The tolerances of the AT program are dependent on map scale and surpass the National Map Accuracy Standards.
Stereo Compilation
Photogrammetric imagery is then compiled on our analytical stereo plotters and converted into a digital format. In order to provide our clients with superior quality aerial photogrammetry, mapping products, and 3d rendering photogrammetry as well as remaining on the leading edge of technology, we are continually upgrading the computer systems and software on which our plotters operate.
Aerial Cartography
The final phase of an aerial mapping project is editing. Our expert Cartography department combines and edits the compiled digital mapping data. They break the project down into necessary sheet sizes and perform final quality control checks. Once a project has been edited it is translated into the client’s specified format. All of our data and imagery, unless otherwise stated, are delivered on CD-ROM. Our high-quality plotters allow us to produce hard copies of the imagery as well, on high-quality photo paper or Mylar film.
