We also offer a comprehensive range of additional services to enhance the value of our aerial photography, including:

Photomontages
Seamless joining of multiple images to produce an ultra high definition view of a large area. A series of vertical images of the study area are taken at a predetermined height, they are then digitally blended to form a single seamless image of exceptional quality and definition, this type of image is ideal when a large single area needs to be viewed. Because multiple images are taken at low altitude atmospheric conditions have little effect and the resulting image has vastly improved detail, colour fidelity and sharpness when compared to a single image of the same area taken from a greater altitude - See example.

Photo predictions
Using land and aerial based photography together with 3D elements to produce a photo-realistic interpretation of a proposed development. developers and landscape architects have been using ground level photo predictions for sometime, now with the aid of advanced photo-manipulation and 3D modelling software complex aerial PhotoPredictions are now possible. These have proved indispensable tools for planners and developers alike - See examples.

2D Intervisibility maps
Overlaying visibility data onto aerial images. An aerial photograph (single image or sequence) can have additional visibility or demographic data added to it, this has the benefit of showing several data sources at the same time, thus aiding easy interpretation.

3D Intervisibility maps
Overlaying aerial images and visibility data on to a wire frame 3D terrain model, to create an easy to interpret three dimensional image. Similar to the 2D Intervisibility Maps above, but with the added benefit of a 3D landscape.

Ortho rectification
When vertical photographs are required for mapping purposes they need to be rectified to remove scale distortions due to height differences in the terrain and also optical distortion introduced by the camera lens.

Ortho rectification is a complex science and there are various levels of rectification available depending on degree of accuracy required and your budget, so please contact us to discuss your exact requirements.

Line of sight studies
Used to gather visual information from a normally inaccessible viewpoint, to identify what features or objects can be seen from a particular location - a useful additional tool for visual impact assessment. An example of this would be in the sighting of telecommunications towers, wind turbines and offshore facilities.
