Thanks to VisionMap’s proprietary scanning technology, the A3 airborne camera is able to quickly cover vast areas in extremely high resolution. The camera ‘sweeps’ back and forth across track capturing rooftops and facades simultaneously – making it ideal for 3D city modeling. The A3 LightSpeed processing system’s robust aerial triangulation is performed on vertical and oblique imagery simultaneously. Using the imagery captured by the A3 camera, Acute3D’s software creates the highest quality 3D models in a fully automatic manner.
After extensive research, the Tianjin Institute found VisionMap and Acute3D to provide the ideal turnkey solution for their needs. Particularly important to Tianjin was the solution’s seamless and automatic workflow from capture to final product. The Tianjin Institute will be undertaking a mapping and 3D modeling project covering 14,000 km2 of the Tianjin region.
