Aerial Photography

Remote Sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon, without making physical contact with the object.  Today the most frequently used methods of Remote Sensing are Aerial Photography and Satellite Imagery.  Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR) and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) are two other popular forms of Remote Sensing.  VerticalGeo is very experienced in working with all forms of Remote Sensing and acquiring Aerial Photography and Satellite Imagery.

VerticalGeo was selected to provide an Aerial Photography update for Moody Air Force Base located near Valdosta, Georgia.  Moody contains approximately 7,000 acres and has experienced a large amount of construction over the last few years.   The entire installation was flown for one inch (1”) pixel resolution color digital orthophoto aerial photography.  The collection effort resulted in over 1800 image tiles for Moody Air Force Base providing them with the capability to serve high resolution mapping services for the installation.

Flying  aerial photography for a one inch pixel resolution is a very challenging effort.  As much effort goes into the processing as goes into the flying.  The Moody project turned out to be an incredible project with wonderful results.

While we were shooting Moody AFB we also collected construction progress aerial photography for other locations in and around Valdosta.  One inch resolution aerial photography can be a fantastic resource for construction update photos, tree species identification, and asset management.   Click on the thumbnail on the left to go to the VerticalGeo Valdosta, Georgia, Photo Gallery.
