Aerial photography and laser scanning are used for making or updating maps over wide areas. By 2008, the Land Board has acquired an aircraft and all necessary equipment for aerial photography and airborne laser scanning. Aerial photographs are produced with Leica ADS100 airborne digital sensor. Height information is collected with airborne laser scanner Riegl VQ-1560i. The equipment is mounted on the aircraft Cessna Grand Caravan 208B. For image processing digital photogrammetric workstations are used.
The used software includes: XPro, Inertial Exlporer, ORIMA, Erdas IMAGINE, PRO600, Microstation, TerraSolid (TerraScan, TerraModeler, Terraphoto, TerraMatch) ArcGIS, LAStools.
The Environmental Investment Centre » has provided financial support for the procurement of required equipment and software.
