The leading advanced image acquisition and photogrammetry vendor Intergraph is releasing four digital cameras of large format, namely, the DMC II 250, the DMC II 230, the DMC II 140, and the RMK DX, which can be customized based on the requirements of aerial imagery vendors worldwide.
These cameras, which are add-ons to the Intergraph Z/I Imaging acquisition platform, are built using the proven Intergraph DMC and RMK D technology.
Besides cameras, the complete set of earth imaging solutions of the company include an entire range of full photogrammetric data exploitation, post processing system, flight management system, and photogrammetric workstations.
End-to-end photogrammetry system users will experience benefits such as cost efficiency, high performance, ease of use, speed, precision and accuracy of data from commencement to completion of the project.
These cameras are the first to incorporate a single monolithic type of panchromatic camera head in the industry for achieving extreme wide-ground coverage that facilitates the capture of high resolution and large-scale images. Covering a large ground area with one camera head removes the likely issues related to radiometric quality and geometric precision and also obviates the requirement for image mosaicking during the post processing phase.
DALSA has designed a high performance CCD sensor solely for the use of Intergraph in its cameras and the sensor is not supplied to any other vendor of aerial cameras. A customized lens designed by Carl Zeiss, Germany, which is incorporated in these cameras, helps to deliver high image precision and quality levels. These cameras are compatible with current post processing software and peripheral devices utilized with earlier Intergraph Z/I Imaging cameras.
The DMC series is the first large-format frame digital aerial camera in the industry with United States Geological Survey certification. It also uses solid state disk (SSD) storage for reducing the footprint and weight of the camera. The RMK D medium format type of digital aerial camera is highly versatile and is poised to replace film-enabled technology. It is aimed at high resolution engineering projects, remote sensing and smaller mapping projects.
