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 regularly across many urban and rural areas of Switzerland, including Zurich, Basel, Bern, Neudorf, Wynau, Quarten, Genthod 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 collection
7.5cm resolution in urban areas
15-20cm resolution in rural areas
Oblique
See urban areas across Switzerland in unbelievable detail with our ultra-high-resolution Oblique imagery. It helps you see the world from multiple viewpoints, giving you the ability to virtually tour a property or location with ease. 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.
TrueOrtho
Explore urban areas in great detail with our TrueOrtho aerial imagery. It brings the real world into view with consistency and unmatched accuracy.
Our True rtho 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 outside of city limits and see rural areas with Ortho aerial imagery. It’s high-resolution data that was made for measuring. Pull up a site or structure and calculate the area or measure distances between objects.
With Ortho imagery, you get a more complete picture of larger areas at scale, more than a drone could capture and higher resolution than satellite imagery. It’s a better view to help improve your site or location knowledge.
Multispectral
Go beyond an image with our Multispectral aerial data, helping bring the unseeable into view. 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
With Digital Surface Model (DSM) and Digital Terrain Model (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 TrueOrtho 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.
