Our photogrammetric departments use 13 fully analytical Leica stereo work stations to capture digital data. This data is edited on one of our eight CAD stations for input to either CAD or GIS systems.
Digital orthopho is generated using the Helava, hard copy produced on a Linotype high resolution image setter.
Softcopy digital orthophoto is generated using the Helava system and the hard copy to produced on a Linotype high resolution imagesetter.
Aerial photography and mapping services are provided in southwestern United States and Mexico, by our SanLo Aerial Surveys division in San Diego, California, using F. M. C. cameras with GPS systems.
