Location Based Services: Ensuring Digital Map Quality

OneAtlas offers several options for updated imagery through our Basemap and Living Library services.

Detecting Illegal Construction in Hazard-Prone Areas

Thanks to OneAtlas, the operator enhances public safety by keeping areas downstream from its dams free of illegal settlements - without performing on-site inspections.

The Great Mosaic of Loire-Atlantique

Airbus has sponsored the installation of a huge SPOT 6/7 mosaic in the entrance hall of the Loire-Atlantique Departmental Agency, providing an original and entertaining way to see an area of around 6,880km².

Supporting Polio Eradication with Satellite Imagery

A small correction for the introduction: Within the record timeframe of 30 days, an immense area of 50,000km² was acquired with Pléiades in Nigeria.

Cadastral Surveying with Airbus Ground Control Points

The Indonesian Government needed to complete 40 million land certificates over a five-year period. To meet its objective, it required accurate cadastral mapping at a 1:5,000 map scale of the entire country. Terrestrial mapping was taking too much time and money, and resources for taking aerial photos were limited. Additionally, heavy cloud cover in parts of the country meant that using optical satellite data was nearly impossible.
