Ultra-precise 3D Mapping - 1cm accurate 3D Models, captured by the Airbus airship
Ultra-precise 3D Mapping - from a New Perspective

Discover 1cm accurate 3D Models, captured by the Airbus airship!

The high resolution 3D Models captured by the Airbus airship ALTAIR and enriched with various data processing capabilities, enable smart decision making in growing and complex urban environments.

Where satellite imagery focuses on the “big picture”, providing models with a global coverage, airborne photography enables higher accuracy at centimetre level, generated locally.

The geo-referenced 3D Models are captured with optical or thermal sensors by the Airbus airship. The low flying platform is key, to provide highly precise maps with an accuracy of 1cm. It is certified to fly over urban environments and critical infrastructure, which makes it a unique solution for aerial mapping with a high area coverage.

 

The Optical or Thermal Models are enriched with post processed data analytics, which include:

A high resolution 3D model layer that compares two models of the same location and detects changes, such as infrastructure or construction changes

Change Detection

High resolution 3D model layer that compares two models of the same location captured at two different points in time and detects changes, such as infrastructure or construction changes

A layer that can calculate 2D or 3D Measurements, such as the distance from one point to another

Measurements and simulation

The highly accurate Mapping products in combination with layer techniques, allow for very precise measurements and analytics.

They are an extremely accurate digital basis to conduct Infrastructure Planning, Change Detection and Simulations for many application areas such as the Construction Sector, Energy Management or Urban Mobility.

 

How to get access?

We support both: on premise data delivery as well as cloud-based solutions on a ready to use application. The Models can also be integrated into existing customer solutions via API.

„Wir haben mit dem Luftschiff ALTAIR eine sehr interessante Plattform für großflächige Vermessungen und Inspektionen aus der Luft gefunden. Das Luftschiff ermöglicht uns urbane Gebiete in niedrigen Höhen zu überfliegen und dadurch eine außerordentlich hohe Auflösung zu erreichen.

"With the Airbus Airship ALTAIR we have found an excellent platform for large area scans and inspections in urban environments. Due to the high safety level we can operate in low altitudes, and achieve an extraordinary resolution."

Wolgang Herbst,
