Aerial Data for Every Major City
Access to real ground truth starts from above with the ability to capture reality in remarkably sharp resolution. Vexcel flies year-round across major urban areas of Belgium, including Antwerp, Brussels, Charleroi, Ghent, Liège and more . Aerial imagery is collected using award-winning camera sensor technology. That aerial data is then put through a rigorous production process to produce imagery that is 16 times clearer than satellite imagery. It’s a complete end-to-end technology solution offering compelling location content to help you plan your projects with confidence.
Urban & Wide area collections
7.5cm resolution for urban areas
15-20cm resolution for rural areas
Oblique
Take a virtual tour around urban areas in Belgium with ultra-high-resolution oblique imagery. See the world from multiple viewpoints and gain better property knowledge to support your projects and improve your workflows. Get access to all four cardinal directions–north, south, east, west–to improve your perspective and understanding of a location.
Delivered at a resolution of 7.5cm, imagery is matched against ground control points in a lossless compression format where the integrity of each pixel is maintained and is accurate to within a two-pixel standard deviation. This results in incredible detail with valuable metadata you can extract from the image directly or integrate into powerful analytics platforms.
True Ortho
When it comes to accuracy and consistency, our True Ortho aerial imagery delivers, helping bring the real world into view. It’s a better way to validate ground truth with confidence.
Our True Ortho imagery is matched against our Digital Surface Model, to create a more accurate top-down view of urban areas. This means you get imagery with no visible seamlines or parallax (building lean), all delivered at a resolution of 7.5cm.
Ortho
Get high-resolution aerial imagery that goes beyond densely populated urban areas in Belgium with our Ortho imagery. The clarity and consistency of this top-down perspective imagery provides detail at a resolution that’s up to 8x greater than satellite imagery. View entire communities and quickly identify growth areas for urban development or landscape changes such as watershed. Use measurement tools to calculate the area and length of a particular property. Trust what you see with imagery that is matched against ground control points.
Multispectral
Bring the unseeable into view with our Multispectral aerial data, a way to unlock additional layers of analysis on our aerial imagery. Near-infrared (NIR) imagery is collected during our regular captures and is processed and delivered as Color-infrared (CIR).
This colorized form of imagery highlights details that can’t be seen with the naked eye. It helps viewers quickly categorize vegetation and other surfaces, helping identify plant health, soil moisture, water clarity, and wetland mapping. It’s extremely valuable data for monitoring environmental changes.
Elevate: DSM & DTM
Keep up with the demands of 3D visualization using our Elevate products: Digital Surface Model (DSM) and Digital Terrain Model (DTM). With DSM/DTM data, you can transform your workflows with a stronger context and deeper understanding of the earth’s surface and structures on that surface. DSM data provides a 3D view of objects that sit on the earth’s surface. DTM shows the bare earth with objects removed. Plus, our DSM data has a perfect pixel-to-data match with our True Ortho and Multispectral imagery, creating perfect spatial alignment between elevation data and imagery for a more consistent, trusted output.
Building Attributes
View multiple elements on millions of buildings in seconds with Building Attributes. See the footprint area, get several roof insights, and review defensible space information to gain understanding of a structure beyond just an image.
Building Attribute information supports a variety of needs for many industries–all you need are the location coordinates to view the latest attributes by using Vexcel’s APIs and web-based application, Viewer.
