Applications

Aerial photographs enhance the value of many GIS, mapping, engineering and telecommunications applications. Here are a few examples:

Telecommunications Network Planning
Engineers can see exact detail around resources such as cell towers and fiber optic cable to improve site/asset management and streamline new site selection and antenna placement.

Site Selection
The area around a proposed site can be viewed and analyzed in terms of parking/traffic access, adjacent buildings, land types and street networks to improve decision-making regarding site selection.

Real Estate
A property and its surrounding area can be viewed without having to travel into the field, helping to save time when buying and selling real estate.

Public Sector
Real-world pictures of an area help planners and administrators make better decisions regarding land use planning, zoning, growth administration and resource deployment.

This aerial view of Chicago's O'Hare airport was photographed at 18,000 feet. Aerial photography enhances many GIS, engineering and other mapping applications.

Features of Digital Photography

Compressed
Data is highly compressed for easy viewing and fast transmission over a network.

Orthrectified
Distortions caused by terrain and camera angles are corrected and the file is registered to the appropriate spatial coordinate system.

Color Balanced
Multiple tiles of images are seamlessly "stitched" together and color balanced to appear as one consistent image.

The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is located near Chicago. All images are geo-referenced to real-world coordinates for use in GIS applications.
