CENTENNIAL, Colo., March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Vexcel Data Program, the world’s largest aerial imagery program, announced today an expansion to its annual collection in the United States for 2024. The program will capture aerial imagery across 4.4 million km2 in the Lower 48 states, increasing its already market-leading coverage by more than 15% over last year and publishing more urban areas at a super-detailed 7.5cm resolution. Major cities and urban areas will be collected up to 3 times throughout the year.
The latest expansion feeds the growing need for ready-to-use, accurate aerial imagery for reviewing properties, mapping assets, tracking changes over time, and supporting AI applications. These insights better inform sectors such as insurance, government, transportation, telecom, utilities, high tech, and high-definition mapping.
“We are excited to grow our U.S. program yet again in 2024. This year’s aerial collection covers big cities, little cities, and rural areas at an unprecedented scale, further cementing Vexcel as the largest aerial imagery program in the U.S.,” said Erik Jorgensen, CEO of Vexcel Group. “Our customers and the greater market are hungry for high-quality imagery and location intelligence to provide detailed, up-to-date and more frequent insights to our ever-changing world.”
