When you order aerial photos, you always hope for the best. You want the resolution to show the contours you need and the details you have to have for good calculations and planning. Unfortunately, shots don’t always turn out well, and sometimes you can’t get them as often as you’d like.
With advanced mapping software, you can enhance your aerial photos with real time imagery of your site. You can load the photos you already have into your analysis system, and then overlay the on the ground feeds to get a truly clear image of what’s happening. With a solid system, you can even do image capture and export the pictures to a PDF that you can share with partners, potential investors, or management teams.
The real time connection with your aerial photos can let you pull out individual vectors and raster layers to run calculations with your own data feeds. You will be able to get much more granular and precise, even if weather conditions are horrible or photos are out of date. It will allow you to cut out errors and keep projects on schedule.
Mapping systems can also tie into the USGS maps and the TerraServe data banks to provide you with additional reference points. You will be able to compare your aerial photos with all kinds of satellite imagery, and do time-lapse progressions if you want to address environmental changes. Almost any kind of eventuality can be prepared for using this kind of system.
Thus, by combining your aerial photos with mapping software systems you no longer have to hope for the best. You can have the best. You can get all of the details that you want and need in a format that will integrate with your existing systems and deliver the images that will make your job run smoothly.
